Missing the "i" from the passenger side Sport Edition badge. A long shot, I know, but don't want to order the whole badge.

no recirc on. It defaults to off but I did check that as soon as I started the 4Runner to warm it up, just in case. Following up on what you said, I did run the defrost on a short drive the last time I drove it. It's possible that collected water in and around the coil, which froze overnight...

Has anyone ever experience anything like this? I am 64 and nothing like this has ever happened in any vehicle I have ever driven. I have a lifetime of experience driving in all sorts of terrible winter conditions. I was driving the 4Runner to work in the snow this morning. 5 minutes after...

Jackpot. Thank you.

2004 4Runner Sport Edition V8. Dark charcoal cloth, manual control front seat. Would like to source one in better condition. Any ideas where to look? I haven't had any luck with a Google search. Thanks!

One of the "i" letters fell off on both driver and passenger door badges. Miraculously I found one of them on the ground. Having trouble locating a new badge kit so I can replace the other missing i. Anyone know of a reputable source? I was only able to find one new emblem for $70 and one...

That's interesting Sarki. The seller, in 2016, told me it was a Limited Sport Edition or Sport Limited. I remember reading something about it back then and thought there was something special about the trim in 2001 and 2002 only. However; I cannot find that info now and the side badges do say...

It really is nice. I did the detail on it and took all the photos. Inside, out and underneath. I have seen every square inch of it. It is solid. The owner has kept it maintained at a shop specializing in Toyota/Lexus and any little thing that comes up gets taken care of right away.

Thanks Roman...never heard that before. I wouldn't know. I haven't owned a 3rd gen but I own a Tacoma with a rear diff lock and a 4th gen 4Runner V8 with a center diff lock. Also owned a 1993 Land Cruiser with the center diff lock. I owned a 1992 4Runner SR5. Nothing in that in terms of locks...

This is not my rig. I found the 4Runner for the current owner in 2016. Before 2016 this 4Runner was living in Florida. When I found it the mileage was 101,000. This 4Runner is owned by a friend. He had every little thing it could have needed taken care of whenever it needed it. Right down to...

Is there any company that still makes a high quality wind deflector for the sunroof of the 3rd gen 4 runners? When I did a thread search they were all old.

Thanks for posting that photo Sparky. I ordered a new one for $13. Toyota dealer said he was only showing 3 in the entire country. When (if) it arrives I will have everything I need to be able to read the info center and HVAC controls.

Per the schematic in the initial post; which diagram applies to the Sport Edition? The Limited or the SR5?

Per the dealer 81942A is just a sticker. I was able to pick up all the bulbs for $40. Since I will have it out I will change them all at once.

Has anyone replaced just the LED window part 81942A? Mine is badly scratched up from the previous owner. I wondered how ez it is to separate from the module.
