Hi Folks, My 2005 driver's side rear door moulding was partially removed by a car wash. I know, I'm never going to another one again that's not touchless. Anyway I had to remove the seal that runs up the back of the door to epoxy the rivet holders back into place. Now I'm reassembling...

I've seen things like this before. What I was hoping for was ports that I could flush mount to the console. Something like the USB ports that come standard in the newer Runners.

I'd like to install some USB power ports in my 05 Runner for the phone, camera, etc. I was hoping that someone made a module that I could install that would do voltage conversions and power the USB ports but I haven't been able to find one. Anyone seen something like this? I could install 12V...

I can't remember the exact combination of warning lights that illuminated but I've had a loose gas cap a couple of times that the truck read as a sensor warning/failure. You haven't gassed up in the last day or so, have you? If so, check the cap and then wait a couple of days and it should go...

I've been thinking about putting a bull bar or brush guard on my 05 Runner. I've looked at the installation instructions for a few and they are bolt on. That being said, I have to believe that they are much more for aesthetics that to provide impact protection. So my questions are, what...

Has the performance of the remote steadily decayed, or has it always been kinda bad? Are the other batteries you tried brand new or could they have been used in other devices that possible drained them? When you push the remote buttons, try rocking the button in several directions while...

Which repair manual would you suggest for a 05 4runner? - Chilton - Haynes - Other I'm looking for something that will detail how to take things apart (like the dash) and wiring schematics primarily. Apologies if this is well discussed. I searched, really :D Thanks, Jeff

Thanks KC. Not to be difficult, but I just re-checked my manual and it says 4500 and 5000 miles respectively. At any rate, the real question I have is why does the light come on after 3000 miles, let alone 4500, 5000 or greater. After the dealer changes the oil, the maintenance light is off...

I think I've looked in all the other threads about the maintenance light but I believe I have a question that's not covered. I have a 2005/V8/2WD 4runner and in the manual it states that the maintenance light should start blinking at 4500 miles and be persistent at 5000 miles when an oil change...
