Thank you. I think I just educated myself about wheels and lug nuts. The 2023 Tacoma wheels should fit fine but I probably can't use the OEM lugs with the flat washers. I see now I can get lug nuts that have a taper or are conical and that might be the solution for me. Up here in the NY...

Thank you for the info. Now I have another perplexing question regarding the 2024 wheels and lug nuts. The 24 now has 14MM X 1.5 lug nuts while the previous Tacomas had 12MM X 1.5. Dealer says stock wheels off a 2023 Tacoma will fit my 2024 but I seriously question this. Pictures attached. The...

I Traded in my 2016 4Runner limited for a new 2024 Tacoma TRD Sport. I had the rear roll away privacy curtain and the roof rack cross bars that I kept. I just need to know what other years of 4Runners these parts will fit?

Thanks Jeff, Maybe you missed my post #13 above. Crutchfield has always been my first source and they usually have the answers but not this time.

I did a chat with Crutchfield. They recommended I buy Kenwood KFC-X2C speakers but could not say if I would have to cut any of the harness or if they had an adaptor connector. Very frustrating and way too cold here now to play.

Thanks Masterfoo, Please tell me if the JBL pictured is a speaker or just a tweeter? I also want to know if when you cut the wires and hooked up the replacement speakers if it changed any of the original functions such as the EQ the JBL head unit has.

YUP. From all that I have read the JBL system requires us to cut into the harness for some reason and I have not yet found the correct answer. I think I will have to pop the cover and pull a speaker out just so I can get a better idea of the issue. It is pretty odd that the dash speakers are...

Great video but was it in a 4Runner with the JBL sound system ot just the standard system? A lot of the replies here say for the "NON JBL".

I was pretty happy with the JBL system until the dash speakers started crackling. I just want to replace them with something as good or better but I do not want to start cutting the harness. I'm okay if I need to do some trimming around and below to fit new speakers but not okay with messing...

Did I miss how to upgrade for the JBL system? My 2016 Limited has the JBL system and my dash speakers are shot. This discussion went all over so I remain confused as to what I need for the JBL. I do not want to cut wires and since the stock factory dash speakers puked their guts I am not...

My front dash speakers are shot and need to be replaced. The first question is how do I access them? The second question is are there any better drop in speakers to replace them with? Since I have not yet seen the speakers through the grill cover I can only assume the sun has baked the foam...

First off, the muffler sits just under the rear passengers seat and has little to do with engine heat. On my 2016 Limited there is about 3 inches between the top of the muffler and the floor above and it gets fastened from the underside and not from above. A post above mentioned the cause of the...

YUP! That is how mine decided to drop and make a nasty racket. Good thing I had gloves and could pull off but a real PITA to bend and rip it out. This one over the muffler will not be reattached because the entire system would have to be dropped just to get at it.

My 2016 4R has been dropping the heat shields between the body and the exhaust system. Just chinsy aluminum shields that rot where they are screwed into the body. The last one I had to remove that was directly over the muffler because the only way to reattach it is to drop the entire system. Is...

I got my repaired 4R back, all is good now. I did get the old NSS switch back and did some investigating, opened the body to see where the binding or water intrusion was coming from. If I can I will show pictures of a new switch and my old one. My findings are interesting. There was no moisture...
