    Thanks all!! New shoes and New seat covers.

    The tires and seat covers look great. I'm not seeing any shoes in the pics? Perhaps not all pictures are loading on my computer.

    need to put some spice in my 4runner

    Cinnamon is my favorite spice, so I got a cinnamon air freshener. Simple mod that really spiced it up.

    Recommended tires for Toyota 4Runner

    Yes, tires are recommended. Driving without them would be a bit rough.

    Do the front cup holders have lights?

    Yes. Part # is: 81205‑35010 It is an assembly with wire, a connector on one end, and a bulb on the opposite end. The single bulb lights both of the cup holders. The console pulls apart very easily. Fishing the wire from the connector to the cup holder is a bit of a challenge, but I'd say I...

    Thinking about getting a used 4Runner - talk me in/out of it

    This forum offers it all. I even got to read a novel here today thanks to this thread. :)

    Why not put hazard switch on passenger side mirror?

    Seriously? It is one of the biggest hazard buttons I've seen on any vehicle and is clearly visible on the dash. I think I noticed it the first time I got in and test drove my 4Runner.

    How rare are V8 4th Gens without sunroof?

    I reckon the overall height of a person isn't all that relevant, but rather their UPPER body height. Somebody could be 8' tall and have an extremely short upper body and have no problem with headroom. :)

    How rare are V8 4th Gens without sunroof?

    I was under the impression that 3rd row seating is rather rare, so not sure I get what you're saying.

    Window tint issue with car audio shop.. Need advice. (Long)

    4 days ago as in 07/19/12? I'd chill a bit for now. They probably didn't even get the letter until Saturday or today. With that said, people can be procrastinators and they do have until 08/01/12. If on 08/02/12 you have still haven't heard anything, then it's time to up the ante.

    To top off or not to top off this is the question

    I have only had my 4Runner long enough to do two fill-ups. Both times I let it go until it stops, then I let it go until it clicks again. This might be 2 seconds at most. In other words, I do a double click. Should I just stop after the single click? Want to try to keep things consistent...

    4th gen 4Runner Secrets?

    It's covered in the manual and also in this thread in detail. One thing I will emphasize is that you have to time it pretty much exactly 5 seconds. Also, it seems like it takes multiple tries for the programming to actually stick. I had created a thread yesterday because I couldn't get it to...

    Bilstein 5100's worth it?

    I opted to buy from AJUSA.com over DSM. The shocks from DSM are differently labeled. At least the ones I was looking at were. They fell under the "Race Car Dynamics" division and had different part numbers. Plus, I couldn't find DSM under the authorized dealers on the Bilstein site...

    How to make spare chipped keys

    A family member's car (Chrysler) has one of those hulking, gigantic, all-in-one keys. It looks ridiculous compared to the other keys on their keychain. YMMV, but I like having a separate FOB & key. Sometimes I just carry a key (no FOB) for the sake of being compact. I'm guessing the...
