Toyota already makes the Fortuner (aka Hilux SW4) for markets outside the US which is BOF and a little smaller than a 4Runner.

My dog gets car sick and likes to barf in hard to clean corners just before we arrive at our destination. I keep a spray bottle of enzyme cleaner in the 4Runner and it is magic stuff. Works good for all the nastiness that my kids contribute too.

Same here. I just threaded it on, no spacer no cutting needed.

I think this should have the part listed TE Parts Needed to Convert SR5/Limited Exterior

Shout it from the roof tops

Thanks for the write up on the AT3 XLTs. I'm glad to hear they handle snow well. I went with the AT3 LT and didn't realize that they don't have the mountain snowflake rating, instead they are "M+S" mud and snow rated. I've been a little worried that they won't handle snow as well, but since I...

At least for California, there's a used auto parts search Used Auto Parts Search - State of California Auto Dismantlers Association Worth checking to see if you state has one. Currently in CA, there are some of these available in Roseville.

You shouldn't have a problem, but for other folks that need a rear facing car seat it can eat into the drivers leg room. Some car seats take up more space than others when they're rear facing and I've had issues with leg room at 6'2". However, with front facing car seats I haven't had any...
