The newer Fuyao windshields are made in their USA factory. I got a replacement a while back (5+ years?) and still holding on well. It has a little bit of pitting and I've had to repair a couple of smaller chips, but no cracks and it is still clear with no distortion. World watches as Fuyao...

Came here to say the same. I was a bit annoyed when I noticed the seats have a 40/60 split instead of the 40/20/40 that I have right now. I use the pass through a lot.

The FJ OEM 8-hole rims (grayish color) are the same as the ones that came with the early 2010-2013 4Runner Trail edition, just a slightly different (silver) color. They both should fit any 5th gen just fine with no mods, assuming a stock tire size.

One thing to consider is that temperature affects the performance of the liftgate struts around this time. When it gets super cold, they don't provide the same support as when it's warm. That being said, they should still hold the liftgate open without it coming down, (though you may need to...

To calculate the value of capacitance when in serial, you can read and use this: https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/capacitor/cap_7.html To determine the value of resulting crossover, High Pass Filter Calculator

For your stated usage and the things you'd be carrying, consider a soft roof cargo bag. I have a Yakima one and it's super easy to put on/off and folds very small. Dont' trust the waterproofness ratings of these things, but you can place stuff that shouldn't get wet in large plastic (trash) bags...

If you want to keep it simple, my suggestion is to use the Axxess AX-USB-35EXT. It fits into the rectangular plug hole and then you can then connect the USB and AUX directly to the back of the new head unit. Axxess AX-USB-35EXT Universal USB and AUX Extension Cable

Looks like those connectors could work! Based on the wiring diagram, the N12 and N13 are what feed the speakers. While there's a good chance it hasn't changed, those diagrams are for the 10-13 models, so I would try to find one for your model year and verify. Also, one thing I'd recommend is to...

What are you trying to do? Add your own amp? While I don't know if that harness will work, I can try to point you in the right direction. If you look at the post I made previously in this thread (post #7) there are a couple of wiring diagrams. Those are for for the 2010-2013 5th gens. You'd need...

This is incorrect. The 4WD system in the 4Runner (5th gen limited, 4th gens, Land Cruisers) is purely mechanical, it is not "computer controlled". It uses a torsen differential and planetary gears with the transfer case to allow the front and rear differential to rotate at different speeds and...

If the noise comes comes from the corner, take a look at this thread. I had a creaking noise and there's a trim piece that needed to be pressed in place. A squeaking/crackling noise resolved

The doors are 6.5 CDTs but dont remember the model. Since I already had them I decided to gave them a try on a 2-way with tweeters in the dash, but didn't like just tweeters in the dash. I tried them with the CDT widebands and was pleasantly surprised. That being said, if I was starting from...

I have a Helix Dsp/amp (Match branded) and it works well, but I don't have to deal with input signal correction as I have an aftermarket head unit (Pioneer). Regarding an integrated dsp/amp, you could also take a look and research the Mini DSP Harmony that comes with Dirac Live., although not...

All the speaker wires of the 4Runners with the JBL run by the passenger kick panel. If you place your amp under the front passenger seat, all you would need to do is a short run of wire to the kick panel and patch the wires. I posted this info in another thread...
