You can buy the button cover only now on ebay for about $5-15 bucks. The new cover is made of silicone, comes with new screws, and an angles screwdriver. No more taking the back hatch apart. Just unscrew the 2 screws and remove the old button cover. Clean up what you can and then screw on the...

It depends on the laws of the state you live in. Cangler who posted the original comment lives in California and they do not allow any modifications. People there can even be ticketed for having clear covers over their headlights. CA is the absolute worst state for vehicle modding.

I'm in for this project over the next couple of days. My wife was running an errand Sunday night when suddenly the AC shut off, the radio turned off, the headlights started flickering, all lights on the dash were flashing, and the vehicle went into limp mode. Thankfully she was only 2 miles...

Mine just started doing this today. I'm noticing it's taking a little longer to start as well. I replaced the battery just 2 years ago, but it was just a walmart special. I will get it swapped out. Thanks for the details on what it is.

Love the wheels..they look great on your 4R.

One of my 2 keys that I just had cut Monday already died and today is only Friday. I am going to pickup 2 new batteries and try the foam spacer and noted above and see what happens. My wife and I truly want them to work and I hope with a little modification they will ultimately work long term.

I received my 2 eBay keys at the end of last week (they had the logo), programmed both the remote and chip over the weekend without being cut, then took them to the dealership service department this morning and they cut them by VIN # for free since no programming was involved. The result is 2...

This is a picture from DawgRunner's build thread.

I actually don't see them in the illustration. The image only shows the bolt that is in the area.

Anyone?

Does anyone know the part number or know where I can find a set of the removable grocery bag hooks (light gray) that clip into the rear wheel well trim panels in the cargo area? They were missing when I bought my 4Runner a few years ago and I'd like to replace them. Thanks

For those looking to do this mod, you can purchase a reverse camera button that fits the center console. Found on eBay.

I just ordered the double key set from the eBay vendor. I'm looking forward to doing this mod. I had a similar key with the previous vehicle I had prior to my 4R and it was very convenient.

Awesome rig! I really like the pet liner and think it is on my list now. We cart our Rottweiler in our 4R several times a week and keep a crate ratchet strapped down in the back using the factory tie downs. The liner would help keep the mess down and the tie down bars would make for a better...

I've got to do this mod sometime this fall. Use of the camera at anytime would be very helpful. Thanks for the easy write up and pictures!
