WTB OEM rear bumper for 2012 SR5 Need an OEM rear bumper skin for a 2012 SR5. Silver and near St.Louis MO preferred. Hoping someone nearby who's done a bumper swap might have a donor. FYI, having a backup camera in no way binds one's wife to use said camera. Thanks, MOJoWales

No, It's not constant hot, but hot switched, only with the key in accessory or run position if I recall correctly. Yes, I used the radio ACC and illumination for the kit switches. Yes, both seats on the same fuse, but not the same wire. I'll give some detail but be aware that the hard...

On a mid-price vehicle, which both the 4runner and GC are, if you want all the bells and whistles you will have to add them yourself via the aftermarket. Some vehicles may have specialized packages that offer good value, but in the end you simply can't get something for free. I wanted rock...

You have PM. Might be good to have a backup to survive the dog.

I'm building a subwoofer enclosure for a Polk 10" to fit in the rear. I removed the lower floor panel and ran the wire in preparation. I'll update this when I have finished the installation. Here are some pictures of where I mounted the JL XD700/5 and crossovers for my front components...

Since they been covered here before I won't go into detail about my other mods. They include the ubiquitous forum stubby antenna, Cooper AT3 in stock P series, and adding stock roof racks (from member HokieMike who packages items like a pro :thumb:) Replacing the stock Dunlops with the Cooper...

Here is a copy and paste from my contribution on the aftermarket seat heater thread found here http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/80123-seat-heater-install.html From the seat heater installation of the Amazon kit from earlier in this thread. If you are considering wiring this kit in...

IMO the AVS Aeroskin looks great on 5th generations. I'm not sure how it will hold up but I think it sets off the front of our silver SR5. So far, so good. MOJoWales

I ran new speaker wire to both front and rear doors. The fronts have no connection, just tape and grommet to pass through. After pulling through to this point I did another pull through the yellow tape and hard plastic pieces of the inner wire router/shield. I used some zip ties to attach...

My head unit, Sony XAV-701HD, had two USB cables so I routed the other one into the little cubby hole below the HVAC controls. I also ran an audio input through the same hole here for phone/Mp3 control. I added a rubber grommet where I cut the plastic. To use the steering wheel controls I...

You can disassemble the stock USB connection in the glove box and modify an aftermarket USB terminal to fit there. I removed the glove box as part of my project but you might be able to reach through the access panel in front of and towards the driver side of the USB and release it from...

I added a BOYO VTL425HD license plate camera. Routing the wiring for this was involved, but doable. First, a disclaimer: I had the headliner removed to gain access to the roof to remove some hail damage at the time of my install. Access by lowering the rear, or one side, of the headliner...

Couple of things I learned while updating out 4runner that might save somebody else some hassle. This 4runner was bought as a SR5, 4X4, third row, carpet, non-JBL, non-navigation, running boards, and mudguards. It's a pretty plane-Jane model. It was the only third row equipped 4runner we...

Among the things I finished this week was the seat heater installation of the Amazon kit from earlier in this thread. If you are considering wiring this kit in the same manner I did, you NEED the manual offered in this forum by Nashman69, or another factory reference manual. Everything I did...

I got the connector to release. Not difficult. Routed new speaker wire and connected to the replacement speakers with minimal modification. Everything will be returnable to stock easily. I'll post some pictures and how to do it after I get everything buttoned back up. MOJoWales
