Yesterday I had the chance to compare the later model lid with the 95 and as you can see in the below pics the mounting holes do not line up. But I think with a little modification it can work. By cutting down either side of the newer lid hinge, actually through the existing mount holes, and...

Thanks!

I actually did try a few months ago looking for a lid and there was nothing but picked over bones as far as these trucks go. This was before I was considering a later model lid though so I didn't take any measurements. Judging by the images it looks as if it will screw right on. The below link...

**Sorry, I meant the armrest pad from a 1996-1998 4runner, not the 1999.** I'd like to replace my bent, broken and torn center console armrest pad/lid and I'm having a hard time finding a tan/oak lid for my 1995. Will a 1996 armrest pad/lid fit the 1995 console? I don't care if it latches or...

You could do, or have done, a leak down test. That's how we determined that my '95 3VZE had a bad head gasket. Mine cost $100 at Yodaman in Santa Rosa, CA although I don't know what the average cost is. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/classic-t4rs/57174-basic-compression-leak-test-diagnostics.html

Throttle Position Sensor not working correctly maybe?

Is this typical of this engine? Ever since I've had my 4R this has been a concern. My gauge also gets to just about halfway, and never seems to move from that position no matter what the conditions are. I can be pulling a long grade in 100 degree heat and no change. I had Yodaman rebuild the...

A double DIN head unit will fit a '95 dash, I didn't see that answered above. :-)

Maybe this thread will help, it certainly provided me with some very good information. And it's a thread in this very forum/site.

Could you post a pic of the underside of the console? I'm curious if there are any flat services that might be used to secure the console using a velcro-type of attachment, that would be a bit more secure than just relying on the seats to hold it in place. Again, this looks like a great idea, I...

It looks really good, nice work! How did you mount it? Would it be possible to see some pics of the mounting points? Or does it just sit there unattached?

Okay, excellent. So all that mass, axle shaft, diff, drive line does not move(being forcefully turned by the wheel) as it does in an ADD system, that's the part I've been struggling with, and now I know the answer! Thank You! And just to be clear, we're talking about 89-95 4Runners with ADD 4WD...

This is all pretty much how I understand the system to work. I do have a question on this section of the explanation though, If I understand this correctly, by installing the manual hubs it means that all that mass that has been moving/turning when using the ADD system in 2WD, the pass shaft...

But doesn't the passenger side axle still spin? With ADD I believe it's the left/driver side axle that gets engaged when switched in to 4WD, when disengaged it slides back off, roughly speaking anyway.

I have a somewhat related question. I just acquired a 1995 SR5 and was wondering about the doorlocks, do these vehicles have an auto-lock feature that when the vehicle is put into drive, or is moving, that the doors will automatically lock?
