Mine is from Classic Soft Trim - it's embossed on the back of the front seats.

Mine didn't have the little cover when I bought it used. I checked with the stealership but they wanted approximately $20 for the plastic cap. I've driven without it for 2 years with no problems.

I'd Pass 20" tires are expensive and anything more than 5-6 spokes just makes wheels more difficult to clean. Like the look though.

Yes, you can pick up additional stations with HD Radio. Many stations offer 2 different "HD stations" on the same frequency. Here's more info: HD Digital Radio • IT’S TIME TO UPGRADE!

Sell It Sell it. Worst case, you could buy another used FJ, but I think you'll really like the 4Runner. All the bad-ass with just a little more civility and a power rear window!

Jvc kd-hd50r I switched my stock radio for a JVC KD-HDR50 single DIN unit. HD radio built-in, has aux and USB connections, and modules for Bluetooth and satellite radio. I paid about $130 for it. HD radio is awesome (especially for AM.)

I bought some cheap Michelin mats from Walmart. They are all-season and do a great job holding water/snow. Had to retrofit the driver's side a bit (used my kid's scissors.) $30.

Just changed my in-cabin air filter and noticed a huge difference. Avoid purchasing a replacement at the stealership if you can. I paid double what I could have bought it for online.

I know this is lame, but I was in Florida last week and had the chance to drive my Dad's 09 Honda CRV. If you want a tall wagon that handles well, with good gas mileage (avg'd 25 MPG), decent space, and all-wheel drive, it's a pretty nice package. Then I got back to Cincinnati, climbed in my T4R...

Tires I have an 04 V6 Sport Edition. I just replaced the OEM Dunlops at 56K miles with Cooper Discoverer CTS (highway) tires. I hated the Dunlops - they just never seemed to balance (even with road force balancing.) I was looking for a tire that would improve handling, get good gas mileage...

Cooper Discoverer CTS Just put 265/65/R17 Cooper Discoverer CTS tires on my 04 Sport Edition. I was looking for a highway tire with good handling, good gas mileage, and long life. I did a lot of research but ultimately chose the Coopers for their warranty (70K miles), rolling resistance, and...
