So I checked the cabin air filter today. It "looks" clean(as far as trash leaves ect...) but it defiantly has a black/grey color in the pleats and has some slight smell to it so I am going to replace it tomorrow when I run buy auto parts. Hopefully that will be all that is needed.
Jtraskell, Thanks man for the research on this. WHen she gets home I will look into this more and start at step one, checking the cabin air filter. I will post back this evening on my findings for sure. Thanks! Much appreciated!
I have heard of doing this in the past, but....my wife drives it on a daily basis and I doubt she will remember to do this. I know that works though. She said today it kinda smelt like pee. lol
I will for sure when she gets home today. Just never thought it could be that since the climate/conditions we drive in. We don't get much trash/junk/dirt where we drive it. Thanks for the input.
Tried searching this, could not come up with anything. My wife's 4runner has developed a annoying smell from the a/c system the car is only a 1 year old I would not think the cabin air filter would need to be changed yet. So what else do you guys think could be causing the smell? Never had this...

What up roadrash5x, welcome and nice Runner. Another Houston member here. There seem to be a few of us around but I always see stock 4RNR's around town.
No I thought you was bc I saw the red plastic dealer plate in the front. Lol the remote start is not completely useless but it is kinda dumb that it turns of when you unlock the doors. Well at least you got what you wanted.
No problem. Yeah I tried man I had like 12 emails back and forth trying to work it better. He was concerned about the guys that have already order before and did not want to upset them.
