My bad! I usually pay better attention to where I am in the forum! Thanks for the heads up.

Hi folks, If I understand you all's experience with the SR5 and the LTD running boards, if I buy the 2005 factory SR5 board from a parts recycler, I can take of my old, screwed up LTD board - the part that's between the two lights - and put the new, recycled board, minus the unlighted SR5...

Well, maybe someone else will notice this and let us know. I did a search, but no one seemed to address exactly this issue. I shouldn't be allowed to drive with running boards, no matter how nice they look. I need sliders, which is what I turned one of the boards into!

Thanks for the update. I screwed up my driver's side running board - pure stupidity - and am looking to replace it. Question, did you notice when you had yours off if it looked like the lighted part would come off, leaving the board looking just like the flat black SR5 running boards? I'm...

Are these sold? I figure they are, but if they aren't, I'd like to know. :)

For those of you looking for the WeatherTechs from autoaccessoriesgarage.com, I just registered with them and they sent a $10 coupon, not 10%, so about half the discount, give or take. The price they list on the liners is $197.90 for 1st and second row before $10 off. Too bad.

Do you have a picture of what this looks like installed? I'm searching the forums for ways to have both GPS and iPhone plugged in without having cords stretched all over the place. A photo of you solution would be wonderful!

Yeah, I actually strap it down pretty securely when he is riding in it - or when it's in the truck, period. The Kennel Aire is a very rugged wire crate. That's not to say he doesn't just ride in the back seat. He does, and I think everybody prefers it that way. But there's no doubt he's safer in...

Thanks, chaz, not quite what I wanted to hear (crate on the small side of the backseat would be my preference) but better than I feared from the experiment putting it in the '98. That had me thinking I was going to have to stick with a newer Taco or ditch the crate, which is a dog safety issue...

Hi all you helpful folks, I'm going to be buying a used 4Runner, probably a 2004-2007 depending on what I can find. One of the things that I'd like to settle is whether the dog crate I use in my truck (Tacoma) is going to fit in the 4Runner where I'd like it to. The dimensions of the crate (a...

Where in NC did you buy?

Sounds nice! What year are you driving?

Getting one with the third row seats may give me the best of all worlds. Even a AWD Sienna just isn't an option, and the Highlander, which I've ridden in and driven just would not work. I'm off road too often in my day to day life. DRC's comments about the Sienna's doors freezing shut is too...

It does help. The impression I have so far is that the second row is pretty darn comfortable even without the ability to recline - slightly I think? - that comes standard when you have the third row. How much do yours recline from their usual position? (I've been looking at all the specs at...

Oh jeez. I guess so! We just saw a 2010 4Runner Limited on the road today, and my daughter pipes up from the back seat: "Does it have enough room?" I was about ready to launch into my "it doesn't have to be a minivan" lecture, and she says, "You, know, to the ground?" Very cute. I think I...
