    Curious where you all have mounted your kill switches? Any recommendations for what switch to buy? Thanks, Scott

    Apple CarPlay/Upgraded Head Unit

    Frankly, I don't find myself using the USB connector that often. I just can't train myself to take my phone out of my pocket and plug it in every time I jump into the car. Yet, when I do take the time to connect it, I haven't noticed any issues with Android Auto when I try. Honestly, I...

    Reverse wire for rear camera installation

    I picked up the brake light signal behind the kick panel just to the left of the drivers feet: 3rd Gen TR4 Backup cam? Hope this helps, Scott

    BXBuilt lead times in 2021

    Just ordered mine! Isn't there a fuse for the DRLs? Why cut the wire?

    3rd Gen TR4 Backup cam?

    weekendclimber Indeed, this is what I ended up doing. I found the IE2 connector behind the kick panel on the driver side. Then I fashioned a tool to extract the contact from the connector block. I stripped away some of the white/blue insulation and soldered my purple backup wire to it, then...

    3rd Gen TR4 Backup cam?

    CLeeJ Thanks for the tips. I ended up angling the camera down a little, re-tightening the screws, and then securing it into the plastic lens with a bunch of bathroom calking. I couldn't get rid of the lines on my camera, so I just turned off the lines that the Sony head unit overlays. I can...

    Diagnose & Repair Steering Play/Rattle

    Just a follow up here... The JB Weld held up for a while, but now the play has returned. I haven't pulled the steering column out yet, but I suspect the JB Weld just wasn't up the task.

    Replacing rear license plate bezel

    Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. I just finished painting and refurbishing a bezel I pulled from a junkyard. I used Rust-oleum Flat Soft Iron, followed by Satin Clear Enamel. We also installed a rear backup backup camera while we were at it. It took several hours to...

    3rd Gen TR4 Backup cam?

    I finally hooked up my AliExpress camera today. This was just a dry-run to see how the camera worked with my Sony head unit. I like the way it replaces the existing lens - very clean. When I mounted it to the driver side the camera unit was actually on the outside, further from the...

    TBU Upgrade Problem with Rotor Diameter

    Need some help here! I'm in the middle of a TBU on my 2001 SR5 that originally came with standard 15" steelies and calipers stamped S12WE. Everything I've read seemed to indicate that the Tundra rotors are thicker, but the same diameter. Not in my case! I popped the new rotor on and...

    Excellent, thanks for circling back!

    3rd Gen TR4 Backup cam?

    That's pretty slick! I think I'm going to order one too. Does the camera cast a shadow on your license plate at night? It looks like it might block some of the light from your LED bulb.

    JZiggy's "Grown Up" 4Runner Build

    Thanks Jordan! Regarding your wheel cylinders... I'm having trouble finding the WCT-068's locally in San Jose. Where did you get yours?

    JZiggy's "Grown Up" 4Runner Build

    Looking at doing the same. I have the smaller 15" S12WE calipers now. Are you still happy with the S13WE calipers? Any regrets not going with larger S13WL's? What pads/shims did you use? I only see part numbers for the larger calipers, unless they both uses the same pads.
