Put in two new relays from amazon, and tried shuffling some of the relays around in case those were bad... sadly, but not unsurprising this didn't solve my issue. Does ANYONE have recommendations on what to do next? For clarity, I replaced the "DOME" relay (Blue 12V) in the engine bay fuse...

Thread revival - What was your fix dan's4runner ? Specimen: '07 Limited V8 4WD I (stupidly) used a metal pick to remove the vanity mirror light while doing an interior LED conversion w/o disconnecting power.... Didn't realize the gold plate behind the bulb was a point of contact and...

Crikeymike! I'm about to pick up an '08 with the OEM RAS, and plan to replace it with a Dobinsons Kit to get a lift and better off roading. I've been doing some searching but it seems a lot of old links are broken. Do you think I'll have any major problems doing this swap, or finding certain...

Yeah - my heat shields were practically about to fall off as is, but also had a lot of issues with my exhaust system as a whole. Ended up replacing the whole system (as I had the manifold tick from cracked headers as well). DT Long tube headers - Y-pipe - Gibson Catback. Also to note, prior to...

CF_Machete thanks for the info! I intend to leave it on 80% of the time (for now) as I'm living on the road, so as long as it fits and is secure I'll try to deal with the difficulty of mounting/un-mounting for the time being. Without seeing it first hand yet, I wonder if getting a fab-shop to...

Thanks for the info and the link! Surprising about the locks, as I've had a yakima bike rack for 10 years now and no issues.... Thankfully I picked it up at REI so I've got a year to return it if so, or swap it for the Thule equivalent box if I ever find it in stock (I like their mounting system...

Dude, your build is awesome! As others have stated I dig the “as stealth as possible” direction. Thanks a ton for this post and these pics man! I’m about to pull the trigger on getting a Gobi rack installed from a shop next week, but wanted to make sure the Yakima Skybox 21 fits (I see you...

Hey CF_Machete - I’m reviving this old post bc I’m about to pull the trigger on having a shop install an in stock GOBI rack for a good deal, for the main purpose of being able to fit a Yakima SkyBox 21 on it. So when you fit the Yakima 21 on the Gobi, using the Gobi adj crossbars, was it a...

I just found this thread and have a new 2022 (RIP my 07 V8). Does this make the headlights (low beams) automatic? and if so what position do you leave the stalk in for it to work?

Hi Nitro - you can PM on here. However it looks like this is your 1st post (welcome!), and I think you need to make 15 posts (?) to enable the PM feature. You can also reply here with any basic questions/comments you have. Where are you located to meet for pickup?

Curious for some input here on price as with today’s market it’s hard to tell whats a “good deal”. I’ve got a deposit down while my dealer is working a trade with another dealer for the 4Runner we discussed. 2022 SR5 Premium 4x4, MGM Ext., All Black Softex Int. XP Predator Package (Pro Grille...
