    LOL Yup. Thanks for the help. I was just coming to post this: 2011 Toyota 4Runner Parts - Toyota Parts - Toyota-Parts.com Shipping is much better at your site. Thanks. TL

    Door lamp broken...

    I have a 2011 T4R Limited. The light at the bottom of the drivers door broke so that it hangs loosely from the wire harness. The clip that should keep it in place broke off. The clip is part of the cover or "lens" for the light, but it does not appear to me that this part would be available...

    Retractable Running Boards

    I want to add these as well. My grandmother can't get into my wifes 4runner. These would be great. I got a pair of AMP boards for my Tacoma and tried to see if they would work for the 4runner. The frame is different and the location of the brake lines makes it impractical. I spoke to some...

    Power running boards

    Supposedly an option for 2012. My wife would love to have these on her 2011. Dealers on OK aren't open until Mon. Wondering if anyone has any info on the possibility of a DIY. I'll bet they charge an arm and a leg for the parts.

    Mounting Spare tire extension

    Thanks. Makes me wonder... Maybe I could give Toyota an idea or two. BUT there are some guys on here and the Tacoma forums I frequent that could definitely make an impact. You'd think they'd keep an eye on these forums and steal some talent - or at least the ideas. I wonder if the black...

    Mounting Spare tire extension

    Did this to my Tacoma a few years back and got around to the T4R today. These are available commercially: Amazon.com: Accu-gage - Chek A Spare, Valve Extender: Automotive You also need a Hood Support clip. There are lots of 'em out there. My dealer had PN 53455-33011 in stock. I mounted...

    Ride quality on long trips question

    I drove our '11 Ltd for 5hr or so yesterday. For the record I miss our '04 Ltd and think it better met our needs in almost every way. My wife (it's her car) had told me she thought the new one had a nicer ride. Yesterday I had to agree. I think she may be right. On this count the 5th gen wins.

    Horrible Gas Mileage

    I'm jealous. Our identical t4r (10wk old) replaced a 4th gen with V6. It's my wifes daily driver and she tools around the city. She is charmed by the ECO light and tries to keep it on. I drive it once a week or so when we take a highway trip for maybe 50-60mi round trip. The 4th gen usually...

    There's a setting somewhere to avoid toll roads. Make sure that isn't a problem.

    Retractable Running Boards

    I too have struck out locally. Anyone know what the address is to tell them we're interested? My Grandmother can't even get into my wifes new truck...

    Aries vs Westin vs Steelcraft Nerf Bars

    OP - Pardon the hijack. I wanted the power deployed ones so my grandmother could get in my wifes truck. They don't make those for the T4R so I'd like something like our 4th generation had. This looks very close. I assume these are the Westin Sure Grip running boards. When you search the...

    ANOTHER wheel trade post

    Smart Key - Open/Close Windows

    p47 in the 2011 owners manual. Holding the unlock button down opens the windows and moonroof. Doesn't work for me. I called my dealer. They said that doesn't exist... I'm not aware of a way to control the rear window from the smart key.

    Cargo area privacy screen

    Yeah, I know. We didn't use the one in our 2004 10 times in 6yr, but my wife sure wanted one... I got brownie points for making them throw it in. It just surprised me that the LE wouldn't have it. I figured they just lost the darn thing at the dealership. I guess Toyota realized most people...
