I was wondering if folks wouldn't mind taking measurements and posting the height from the ground to the center of the wheel well. AND, posting how full their fuel tank is. I don't know if the 2X4 vs. 4X4 vs. XREAS vs. etc makes a difference. Maybe post that info as well. It looks like mine...

I have an '07, non-3rd row seat and with stackable cargo shelf. Does anyone know a good cargo mat that will cover the entire floor area with the shelf collapsed? Better yet, does anyone know of one that covers the back of the rear seats and/or the sides of the cargo area? I'm using my 4Runner...

Probably going to order a kit in the next day or so. So, I wanted to check here and see if anyone had a longer(er) term review of these bags. All my searching looks like folks have been happy with them. Also, wanted to make sure there wasn't a new/better solution that I haven't discovered. I...

I know $160 > $99. But, It's still the easiest $160 I've spent. Well worth that and more.

Factory filter. Looked identical to the one I took off, except made in Taiwan vs. Japan. If I'm within .5 q., I probably won't worry about it. Thanks, Skip

Did the first oil change last night. I'm kind of surprised/worried that it took 7.5 quarts of oil. I had a hard time checking the level - due to the clearness of the oil. So, I used a small jeweler's' file and scored the surface to get a better read on the level. I'm 98% sure I'm just at the...

Has anyone installed a disconnect switch on the speed sensor circuit to try and temporarily bypass the nav lockouts while moving?

That's HUGE! Thanks!!! I've downloaded both the T4R and Lexus IS350 Nav/Radio wiring diagrams. I'm going to try and figure is we can do the same thing as them. - Skip

Does anyone know where I can find/buy a wiring schematic for my 4Runner? Specifically, I currently need the radio/nav wiring schematic. But, I would like the whole deal for future projects. I've searched for a factory service manual, but could find nothing. Should I just go to the dealer and...

It's a long thread. It started without being able to input directions. However, that changed with the addition of the switch between their pink and white/silver wire. It looks like a few had issuses... but, it always seems to be bad connections/spices or utilizing the wrong wires. As soon...

I've had a few days with the XM now. I lost reception for the first time tonight for about half a second while making a u-turn under an overpass. But, the weather is very bad today, so I wonder if that didn't contribute. So far, I've very happy with the antenna placement. - Skip

That's the one! Thanks!! So, this mod looks pretty easy - just cutting two wires and adding a switch between them. But, I'm hesitant to do because I don't know what (if any) changes there are in wire colors between the '07 Lexus IS and my '07 4Runner. It seems there are wire differences...

Re: Brake Contoller always on The prodigy goes into "power saving mode" after 15 minutes of no motion or activity. So, (at least for me) power from the battery is a non-issue. - Skip

I could be wrong... It's happened once before. ;): But, I thought I remembered seeing something where manipulation/splicing of the wires and adding a switch (and maybe other components)would allow Nav override. I think part of it had to do with tricking the system into thinking it was not...

I "think" I remember seeing a post on one of the sites (maybe this one) which featured a switch, wiring (and maybe even a timer) modification which allowed Nav override functionality. Does someone remember this? A link or push in the right direction would be awesome. I've searched around...
