after the drive in to work this morning everything is still AOK. I don't have a write up on the dual batteries but i'll make one soon (and to clarify, it's not a true "dual battery" setup since i usually think of that as when both batteries are charged off the alternator, this is a second...

I'll keep you all updated. I figure if I start getting lights on the dashboard I can hopefully just put everything back the way it was....but that's probably wishful thinking. With fingers crossed, spencer

Done and done! Took about 15 minutes total with tools and clean up and it's working like a charm! Great easy mod. I run my fridge off an aux battery that gets charged from a 70 watt solar panel on the roof (write up coming soon). The problem I forsee is that on long camping trips I'll have...

Aaaah so there are just two OUTLETS. I thought maybe there was a second one under the center console. Well thank you again for all your help. I'm going to try this out! I'll either have a happy report and a full time 400w inverter or I'll be joining a beater corolla forum cuz I blew up my...

thanks again for your help. would i have to do this to both inverters in order to keep things from freaking out (really i think it would only effect the switch on the dash but that doesn't matter much to me). thanks again.

Thanks for your help! I think i'll have to re-think this mod because I pretty much have no idea what i'm looking at here haha. Are the names of those wires the same as on the diagram? I'm not seeing them anywhere.

So I finally cracked in to the rear inverter area (passenger wheel well) and took a look at the wiring. Is there anyone who knows what the equivalent wire colors would be for us? thanks

update? so has anyone done this yet? I'd like to wire the 120v outlet in the back to always be on 400 watts.

If any of you decide NOT to upgrade your speakers but sell your head unit instead, please pm me :) My touch screen became unresponsive about 2 months after buying the 4runner. ok, hijack over.

Great, thanks! I'll grab an extra 80 amp fuse just in case :hatsoff:

So my faithful little Master Flow Tsunami finally pooped out on me (for the second time). First time I emailed them and they sent me a new valve pronto, but now I'm thinking it's time for a higher end compressor. In the meantime, I'm going to Calico this weekend and I know I'm going to be...

So THIS is where your build thread is. I knew I'd find it somewhere. Don't know if you remember from Mud (same name, spencertron) but I was a big fan of your 80. I was thinking about switching to a 5th gen and started asking you questions when I saw your pictures of bimrunner's rig and then saw...

Thanks for the compliments, all. When I first started looking I really liked the silver. I wasn't even really aware of the shoreline blue. When I started throwing around the idea of selling the landcruiser I thought "I'd only do that if I could get a trail edition 4runner". Looked on craigslist...

Nothing crazy. I had my buddy spot me on the hairy stuff but he got some videos of the more exciting, obstacle-free, sections of the trail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mex5IH51wbg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHtLI4zue7k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v3oDk6qQJE...
