J.A.'s website is a great place for information, not only for footwell lights but also for all things 4runner! (J.A. if you're reading this, thank you so much) For my footwell lights, I also added a 3 position rocker switch to be able to switch between auto on off (tied into the dome circuit)...

Short Version: Do it yourself, if you have some patience don’t cut the panel larger, drop the tank. I dropped my tank to replace a bad fuel sending unit, here are my notes from the experience. -Because my sender unit was bad, I didn’t know exactly how much gas was left in the tank when I...

Removing layers of the cushion is possible on every car. It's just a matter of how much you're willing to sacrifice comfort and the fit/finish of the cover. When I removed 2" of foam out of the Miata seat bottom cushion to gain an extra inch of headroom I could feel the difference in the...

For context I am 6'4", 190lbs, 34" inseam with a 2008 4runner that has power cloth seats and sunroof. Currently I have just under an inch of clearance above my head. When I was test driving 4runners I sat in one identical to the one I have now but with leather. I actually sat higher in the seat...

After cleaning the area and re-inspecting I’m still not sure where the leak is coming from. Looks like it could be a leak between the block/header or at the timing cover. Part of me still thinks it coming from the mystery circle knob on the header which I haven’t been able to identify. The oil...

Hello Everyone, I discovered a small oil leak on the right side of my engine. I originally thought it was the timing cover but it doesn’t seem to be originating from there. It seems to be coming from where a bolt would go but I can’t find any information on what this spot is for or if a bolt...

I added rubber mat material to the rear of the rear of the 2nd row seat backrest. The backrest panels are just held in by simple clips so I removed those, traced the shape to the rubber mat, then cut to size. They’re held in place by metal U clips but if I were to do it again I would just use...

I’m looking to upgrade from cloth seats by replacing everything with leather. No particular preference on color. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So unfortunately most of the time the wires are chewed off right where they connect to the knock sensor so you’ll need to take apart the top part of the engine anyway to fix it. The knock sensor itself is a less than $70 part so up to you if you want to change it out while you’re in there...

FJ Cruiser Knock Sensor (both) Replacement 2hr vs 20hr (Easy Way) - YouTube I used this video to do the repair myself. I didnt remove the water pipe like they did in the video and managed to reach the bolt holding the knock sensor with my hands. Difficult to reach but manageable. This error...

It is still on the outside but there is a channel on the windshield weather strip that the wire fits in snuggly. I did wrap some electrical tape around the wire to make it a tighter fit. So far so good.

I’ll be using one of the blank rectangle slots on the dash left of the steering wheel. Right now I have it wired to just a basic switch I had on hand because I’m still waiting for this switch to be delivered: Amazon.com: CH4X4 Push Switch for Toyota - Side Lights Symbol 1 - Blue Led ...

Reviving an old thread but for good reason. Not sure who or where this thing was made but the conversion has been done. I came across these photos from a Facebook group and don’t know anymore details.

Here's the link to the video that explains it all. 4TH Gen 4Runner Dash LED Swap PT 1 | Climate Control Swap | Interior Light LED Swap - YouTube I also know of a guy who specializes in this upgrade and does it for a very reasonable cost even with shipping. Here is a link to his website...

In this thread I'll be sharing how I mounted led lights to my stock roof rail using 3D printed mounts that I designed myself. Link to STL: 4th Gen 4runner Stock Roof Rack Light Mount by BagelBogged - Thingiverse Link to LED Lights (affiliated): Amazon.com I've found myself in many situations...
