Sorry for not posting - got really busy with life - I'll post photos soon. However, have decided to keep the car for now - thanks for all the feedback/advice. I upgraded it to my satisfaction. Installed a new stereo myself with bluetooth, iPod capability to replace the non working one. Added...

Thanks for posting - how are these working out for you? I'm wondering about these vs the Rostra which a slightly more expensive.

There's a heated seat install thread here on t4! Should have looked :confused: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/general-discussions/136923-instructions-anyone-interested-installing-heated-seats.html

Is it easy to remove the seat covers? I hadn't thought of that.

hmm- that's a thought

Yeah, I've thought about finding seats from a 2001+ 3rd gen. Probably worth doing... Anyone here done it? Is the harness already pre-wired to just plug in?

I'm no longer sure about KBB. I originally went into the dealership to try and purchase a 2010 LE with 15K miles. They wouldn't go below 38K for the LE and above 2K for the trade in. Needless to say at that price, I felt I could just get a new LE for a few grand more. The dealer used KBB...

Thats good advice

I love my SR5 but I'm less of an offroader now than when i got my first one 13 years ago. Wife hates having to determine when to shift into 4x. So ft awd with Torsen seems best overall for an occasional hitting of trails and mostly pavement here in the rainy and occasionally snowy northwest. And...

Thanks for the all replies guys - very helpful

CL only has dealers mostly advertising. The dealer I talked to didn't come close to blue book or Edmunds TMV. I'm aware of those....

I have a 2000 4Runner SR5 with 182k miles. Probably needs a new timing belt, tires etc. Around 1500$ to be put in of just maintenance. Car is in great shape and running fine, I bought new and did oil changes every 5k with regular scheduled maintenance. Only issue is that I hit a pole in the...

According the following DAC is standard on SR5 and LE:  Downhill Assist Control (DAC) – (4x4 models) (SR5 and Limited only) DAC requires Lo so it lends more credence that it is a simple mistake.

I doubt it and hope not and its there in this photo: https://www.google.com/search?q=2014+4runner+limited+interior&client=safari&hl=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=NmUCUui3M8S5iwKj14HoDg&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAA&biw=1024&bih=672#biv=i%7C67%3Bd%7CQSLaKoDZQgZY1M%3A Also DAC is standard for the limited...

I had read mention that projector lamps were only on the limited but it looks like they are standard across the board which is cool. Both standard and option talk of lamps with turn signals, is this a mistake: Standard - Color-keyed front and rear bumpers, door handles, heated power outside...
