Damn... I have an '08... was yours covered under 3/36 or did you have to pay out of pocket? what did it cost?

Hey All, I have a small rust spot (or what it seems like) on the rear hatch (see attached pics)... How can I fix this before it becomes too bad? Do I need to somehow sand in there or scrape it down, or is it possible to fill it in with something? Thanks!

Doug, these look familiar? 03-09 TOYOTA 4RUNNER 3" S/S NERF SIDE STEP BAR CHROME | eBay

looks great Doug... any regrets, or any "I wish they were lower or, I wish they were higher, or I wish they were this instead of that..."??? I want to make sure there's enough room for my feet to fit on them comfortably. on some I've seen, it looks like the bar is too close to the bottom trim...

What's going on everybody, Wanted to see if you all have pics/recommendations for some stainless nerf bars on my SR5... I have stock running boards on now but I like the look of the nerf bars. Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks!

Hey Guys, I live in New England and we're we get some good snow storms but I was thinking of buying some snow chains just to keep them in my 4R in case I ever slide off the road and get stuck. I went skiing last year and slid off the road and got stuck for about 20 minutes. I ended up getting...

looking to do some maintenance or replace the gas pistons on my rear hatch of my 08 SR5 they work, but they work real slow and I want them to be a little quicker. when I open the hatch it takes a decent amount of time for the hatch to open fully. looking to see if any of you have replaced...

what do you all recommend for some protectant for the seats/carpets/cargo area? I could definitely go to an auto zone and get some scotch gard or other interior protectant but I'm looking for something better, if it even exists. I have dogs and I go fishing a lot and would just like some strong...

Hey All, Looking to see if its possible to rig my cigarette lighter/power outlet, whatever you want to call it, to stay on while the car is off... AKA I want to be able to charge my phone while I'm not in the car... any thoughts? Thanks!

I wouldn't be surprised if the dealership put it on themselves to try to fool idiots like me.... Thanks guys!!!

Hey Guys, I know you all have been so helpful in the past with my 4runner, but my father is now looking to purchase a Tacoma. Obviously this is a 4runner forum, but I was hoping you all could shed some light on Tacomas that are SR5, and Tacomas that are SR5 with TRD stickers on the bed...

Nothing really drives my concern.... I heard rumors that if you leaving your parking brake on overnight in snow and cold weather it has the potential to stick, and obviously its a completely different situation but I didn't know if there was any harm.

Forgive me if this is a silly question but is it bad to leave my 08 4runner in 4H overnight in the freezing cold and snow?

Doc and KoNEJO, what did you search for on Amazon for the window module? How do I know what to search for or which one to get?

Sounds good guys, thanks for the help... I'm going to skip out on Best Buy and go to a local car audio shop who probably know more about how to do it, and how to wire different functions, than the tech guys at Best Buy do.. I'll report back if I have any updates.
