I have a 2002 SR5 4WD. It has the fender flares common among the Limited model, but it isn't the Limited. It also does not have the piece of trim stretching from wheel to wheel on the bottom of the doors that I've seen on the Limited package. It has cloth seats, not leather. Chrome emblems, not...

Modified Satoshi Mod and T4R.org sticker Got my T4R.org stickers in the mail today! I also attempted a modified satoshi grille mod. I think it looks pretty good.

Just did some quick research. It seems that all this device does is act like pinwheel between your air intake and the engine....it just causes resistance. It doesn't compress the air. Don't believe the description. Buy a real supercharger.

Does that really work? Can you just slap that thing on?

I'm hoping to get a deeper rumble from my vehicle. Do I need to install a full exhaust system? Or can I pay $80-$90 to get just the muffler (flowmaster for example) to achieve the growl? I've already done the ISR mod and Deckplate mod.

Engine Compartment LED I know there are a few different ways to do this, but here's mine. Many of you know better than I about electrical and wiring, so please feel free to comment about making it better. This was done on a 2002 T4R SR5...

Recent Mod and Rear Shocks I just did a sweet mod that I found on the 4th or 5th Gen pages (shhh, don't tell). I installed LED lights on the underside of the hood so the engine compartment is lit up when the hood is open. Here is the site I found the lights and the hood switch It wasn't too...

Here's a quick write-up for how I installed lights under the hood to light up the engine compartment. Here is the site I found the lights and the hood switch It wasn't too hard to install. Recommended materials are: -at least 2 LED light modules ($10 each) -hood pin switch ($7) -about 50ft of...

Painted my skid plate red :)

I'm a newbie to SoCal and I just got a 4Runner. My buddy has a Tacoma and we've been thinking of finding a cool trail to tear down. Both our vehicles are stock 4x4, so we're not looking for anything intense. We live near Anaheim. Suggestions appreciated!

Sorry the link didn't work. Here it is: Ya you can definitely peel it off. And whatever doesn't peel off, you can just scrub at with the green side of a sponge. I recently had a tire shop fix my tire (ran over a bolt on the freeway), and they apologized for scratching my black rims. I told...

Have you seen one? I'd like to see a pic. I'm always up for plasti-dipping my trim white (that way I can just peel it off!)

More little things... Important maintenance issues: I just replaced the fuel filter. The old one was a Toyota part which means it probably has been filtering gas for all 107,000 miles. The new one looks just like it w/o Toyota sticker. I noticed a nasty brown tint to the fuel I drained out of...
