I paid about $105 for the bottom cover and about $165 for the top. I didn't have any seat heaters, so not sure if that would be an issue with these. The bottom foam cushion that I bought off Amazon was noticeably smaller than the factory one, so I went back with the factory cushion. I didn't...

Thanks - they're real leather on the seating surfaces and vinyl/synthetic leather on the back and sides. I believe the factory seats were the same way. Install wasn't too bad, but it definitely helped to have an extra set of hands for connecting the plastic clipping mechanism at the bottom...

Just replaced my driver seat upholstery with new leather from Ebay vendor US Auto Seat Cover out of Houston and thought I'd give my feedback. Overall I'm very happy with the results. I got a quote from a local upholstery shop for $750 for just the driver seat, so decided to try this instead...

I know this thread is a few years old, but wondered if OP (or anyone that's installed Coverking seat covers) has any feedback after having them installed for a while. With the Costco discount Coverking seems to be the best option if you don't want to pay $$$ for Wet Okoles. Going through...

I'm very happy to report this actually fixed the issue. I didn't think the odds were great that this would fix it after so many years of sitting idle, but it appears to have done the trick. I tried the 4WD button, the H4L and the L4L positions (with straight line driving for the H4L and slow...

Thanks for that suggestion. Cleaning switches with some brake cleaner certainly sounds cheaper than buying new switches, especially since I've been using OEM parts whenever possible. I've heard some of the switches are hard to get to, but if I need to buy some new tools to do so I'll spend...

Thanks Charlie - and sorry for the bad info earlier. I've worked on my own cars my whole life, but am new to the world of 4WD. I'd always admired this 4Runner from across the street and when the estate executor offered it to me for a song, I couldn't pass it up. I've changed the LBJ, outer...

The saga continues, but at least I've got some new info. I mistakenly thought I'd checked the 20 amp 4WD fuse when in actuality I checked the 20 amp windshield wiper fuse that is located directly above it. One reason I made the mistake is that the 4WD fuse was missing. I looked at the fuse...

Thanks again Charlie for your insight. The lack of any 4WD lights is the perplexing part for me. I can't get any of the 4WD lights to come on under any scenario. I used the jumper wires to engage the front diff, took it off the jack stands and drove it to the end of our cul de sac and made...

Charlie - thanks very much for the reply. I forgot the '99 Limited was different than the other '99 models, so I'm pretty sure I don't have a relay by the glove box. I was basing that assumption on some internet discussion of other '99 4WD systems (and my limited looking under the glove box)...

Did some additional testing today by applying jumper wires to the blue rear VSV to get 12V power to it. Heard the VSV click and measured about 20 inches of vacuum at the actuator with the engine running. Reconnected the vacuum line to the front diff actuator and jacked up the front so that the...

I realize this thread is several years old, but I'm experiencing similar symptoms with my recently acquired '99 Limited and I can't start a new thread. My 4WD doesn't engage and no 4WD dash lights come on when I push the 4WD button on the J-shifter, or when I put the shifter in the 4WH or 4WL...
