Slightly different perspective. I went from a 2004 4Runner SR5 to a 2013 GX460 Base. Some things are night and day different obviously. The extra torque from the v8 was instantly noticeable, though the drive-by-wire pedal tuning is very weak-sauce on the GX460. I know that there are products...

PM sent. :)

!!!SOLD!!! Bought this from a guy on Etsy who 3d prints these. It was like $40 new. Honestly the best money I ever spent on the truck, and I'm surprised these aren't all over this forum. Toyota 4Runner Yeti Cupholder Insert 2003-2009 4th Generation | Etsy You just pull out the useless center...

:lmao:

Cool deal. It's on my to-do list also, and we have pretty mild winters here in South Louisiana, so I'll report back as well if I happen to beat you to it.

I found this picture of the back of the door. Looks like the circled areas are the plastic welds to the black panel surrounding the door handle. Not sure if you can directly get to the plastic welds for the accent piece. Hard to tell from this picture. You might be able to drill those out pretty...

I think on some models, it might be other colors like fake granite.

I know what OP is talking about. It's the plastic accent panel next to the door handle. They were usually silver and most are pretty faded and blotchy by now. I was looking for good solutions to this as well. Thought about doing a vinyl wrap on them. I haven't taken a door panel off, but I...

That was my thought too. I guess the whole point of this thread was to see if that policy was something anyone else ran up against too. I don't want to ruffle any feathers. If it's boilerplate Toyota policy everywhere I won't pursue it.

Unfortunately this was in person. I wonder if it's a training issue honestly. I'd say the guy helping me was in his early 20's or maybe even late teens. When I walked up to the desk, he was looking down watching something on his phone. It took about 20 seconds of silence before he even looked up...

I'm the business that IS the internet competition. :hello: I don't care for those that gatekeep information, although I do acknowledge their right to do so (as I suggested in my original post, I get the policy). My local Mazda dealer was great about sharing part numbers. Bought quite a few...

I mean, I guess I can see where they're coming from since you can pretty much beat their price online on pretty much anything, but that's also really unhelpful. The parts guy acted like I was a total annoyance to him and was really rude about it too. Anyone else run across this? For those...

I bought a Bosche replacement from Autozone a few weeks ago. It came with all the pieces to make it stow away when off like normal. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it though. It doesn't touch the window at the very top of it's arc. I kept the factory one, and I'll probably just try to find a...

Bump

Funny, I just pulled the bug-deflector OFF of my 4th gen. I'd been hunting the source of a horrible exterior rattle for months, and a member on here suggested the bug deflector as my likely source from the disrupted air flow over the mirror area. Son of a gun he was right. I'd take a dent and...
