I did this same thing last weekend with my Curt hitch install. Bending that bracket upward toward the tuck floor was TOUGH for me though with the tools I had on hand. But it is working now, and the cable extension (basic 4 wire) should do the trick--i found one at Wal Mart for like $5. I didn't...

I saw those same service guides on the service advisor's desk during a recent visit to the dealer for maintenance so I think it's the correct info.

Why does the FJ require premium fuel if it has the same engine as a 4R?

Last ride was 2002 Mercedes ML320 the W-O-R-S-T vehicle I have ever owned and could not get rid of it fast enough! TOTAL JUNK. 98 4runner before that, now an 08 4runner and could not be happier to back in a REAL suv built by a company that knows how to actually build the vehicle not just think...

My 08 with 20,000 miles is showing rust on the rivets attaching the fuel door to the body. Dealer is supposed to have it fixed, but it's worrisome with such low miles.

Anyone have issues with the plastic trim under the driver's seat front left edge getting caught on their right pant leg when getting out? I have torn it loose twice now just getting out of the vehicle. Dealer is fixing it under warranty but unless the design has changed I just see it happening...

My unit has the B&W screen not the color. The color screen was a little "busy" for me. This one is pretty legible, had the features I thought I would actually use, and was cheaper. The footprint/installation for either is the same though. The unit did NOT come with the screws you see...

Not all the head units are Sat ready. The basic head unit (with the single CD player vs changer) doesn't have the SAT button, so it's more $$ to use built-in options.

I removed the flip-down compartment in front of the cup holders/under the AC and the cavity it left was perfect for my specific XM tuner. The holes where the compartment fit into the trim allowed me to route the power, antenna and audio cables through it and into the area under the center...

I removed the storage bin completely and mounted my XM receiver there. Fits perfectly and the cutouts for the pocket's hinges/mounting tabs allow the cords to tuck away nicely under the center console and route to the aux jack in the armrest box.

I have an 08 4Runner that did not come with a hitch. I am interested in having one put on. I would prefer the Toyota hitch, but am unsure about the bumper cover. On some models I see on the road, there is a cut-out in the bumper for the receiver, but on some of the ones I have seen (they seem...
