I live in Canada where it is mandatory to have daytime running lights. For some reason my Canadian purchased 2005 4Runner only has the 4 yellow lights on during the day. Does anyone know how to reprogram the computer so my headlights are on during the day. Thanks, Tim

That system sounds good. However, I purchased the Evolution 1800 which is longer. With the back spoiler, the front of the box sticks over the last rail by about 2 and a bit feet. With the current configuration the box bounces. I talked with Toyota and they said they do not make any sturdier rails.

Thule Cargo Box I have a Thule Cargo Box on my new 05 4Runner. If find with the current stock rail system the box bounces around a lot. I had Thule feet and rails on my old 96 4Runner with no problems. Thule said that I have to buy new feet and rails to go on top of the stock rack. This seems...
