I just had this happen to me after a service for the Takata airbag recall, battery replacement, and scheduled maint. No XM available as an audio source, icon disappeared. Solution: I read someone fixed it by removing the fuse for the radio and turning on the 4runner, then turning off and...

Can anyone confirm the above listed touch up paint (1F7) is the correct color for the 5th gen trail valences?

He's messing with us. I'm pretty sure all roads in BC look like that

The blacked out racks look good. Plastidip? Also did you build that boombox or what the is that?

Noice! My 2016 truck looks almost identical other than the TRD offroad badging (which looks sweet), anyway just wanted to let you know you should be able to get some $ for those running boards. Roughly $300-350. I'm jealous of your wheel and tire upgrade plans... that will be awesome.

I feel like i'm kind of asking the same question as G X B but.. nothing additional is required like a wiring harness or anything other than just plugging it in to get the headlights to auto turn on in the dark?

Congrats on your 4runner and welcome! You're going to love it. You can't have my hood though :bounce:

I run my 9'6" longboard out the back window like your photo. I put one tie down strap across it diagonally inside the 4runner using the hooks in the rear cargo area and it is easy to throw it in and feels secure. No problems on the freeway either. I just put a towel down to prevent wax from...

Thanks for sharing, I take 395 once a year to mammoth and wasn't aware of those off roading opportunities.Amazing photo through the arch of Whitney's peak, and that photo aimed down the road of the ancient bristlecone pine forest is great too. Was the ancient bristlecone pine forest cool?

haha of course a v8 sounds better. Paradox155 - I have the same year/model/color, love the sound. Good stuff.

I really like my KDSS. Drives like a sports car on windy roads. I had several dealers near me and one was way better than the others. Once I met a salesperson that wasn't slimy and he wasn't able to find the 4runner I was looking for I let him have my phone number and a few weeks later he sent...

Someone needs to make lug nut grenades

I believe the ones with the holes are pre-2012 or pre-2013. Also the door handle being black rather than red in that photo looks like the older style 5th gen. For newer sr5 and trail the OEM running boards are the ones in the first photo. The dealer tried to order the OEM running boards for my...

Vent mount is a good option, otherwise I recently got one something like the first link below and have only used it a little bit but holds better than you'd think...

NMT16, Dakine Aero Rack Pads or FCS Premium Hard Rack Pads and some tie down straps should do it. I have the Dakine Aero Rack Pads but haven't used them yet. I just throw the board threw the rear window and strap it down. I believe I've seen info on here around installing roof rack cross bars...
