    DIY: Interior LED swap (cluster, HVAC, switches, window, *steering wheel)

    I can't recall. I believe the size matches the ones you take out. Think I had to look up the size as if it burned out and needed to replace and ordered that size. My LEDs are still working with no issues.

    Add cargo shelf?

    It was an easy-ish install. Any 4runner that didn't come with a deck likely wont have the holes needed to bolt a deck to. To solve this, I had to put the deck in as it would sit, mark holes and drill through the floor. I treated the exposed area with some rust stopper paint. 24+ hours later I...

    Recommended OBD dongles for 4th

    I ordered the veepeak and it showed up. Downloaded torq pro and car scanner with toyota packages, ect. I don't really need to monitor temps but its a plus with reading and clearing codes. I haven't played with it yet but soon. I suppose I'll try and call thinkdiag 2 company and get specifics on...

    Recommended OBD dongles for 4th

    Wow. Thank you for adding two new contenders. The vx nano claims to allow you to program new keys. That would be nice to do without doing the annoying programming without one. Is there any proven apps that can do seat belt chime, keys/fobs, even if you have to purchase the premium app? I did...

    Recommended OBD dongles for 4th

    This site saved me once again! Hood latch spring cleaning and check engine, vsc light, traction light for a loose gas cap. Thank you board! After all this and needing to clear codes, I wanted a scanner and was looking at bluetooth dongles. Saw a few posts claiming a few apps can do that...

    Best window vent shade/wind deflector brand?

    I have weather techs and they're alright. They'll shift your windows which may offset tinted windows. They also put their dumb stickers on them. I like weather seal mount but maybe think about exterior depending on the look you want.

    DIY: Interior LED swap (cluster, HVAC, switches, window, *steering wheel)

    Currently still in the process of upgrading my T4R. I've done all non solder bulbs. Anyone that stumbles on this, if you buy the ones on amazon, 50 pk, that go in the holders and don't need resistors... you can scuff or sand the acrylic to reduce the hot spot effects in your center console...

    Lighting of A/C LCD Screen

    Absolutely have to mod going from 6v to 12v

    Lighting of A/C LCD Screen

    I believe those are 6v bulbs. Most people swap them out to LEDs that are 12v. They do make amber color LEDs, almost a given to be brighter being LED.

    Options for grille hardware that's jacked?

    Good to know! I figure I could use some stainless steel ones from the store if I match them up good enough, but for now I just bit the bullet and ordered some from the dealership. 8 total, like 2.60 a stud, and just under a dollar for the nut. They also want $72 for a new latch if I want to...

    Options for grille hardware that's jacked?

    No dice. I've stopped for now because they all go to snap city. They look like they are giving and then the darn things just snap. Pretty lame. I wouldn't mind buying new ones, but then have to consider the grille frame as well. Kind of wish we didn't dump salt on the roads like we do here.

    Options for grille hardware that's jacked?

    So salt has been pretty murderous on vehicles. I wanted to swap out my grille and bug deflector with the grille from TEQ customs and a hood protector and what should be a simple and fun job turned into every 10mm bolt and stud being royally jacked. Even wd40 doesn't seem to help. Am I still able...

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    Thank your for the trade! Slowly getting things marked off the list of things to do to her. The last of the dash lights and cluster lights and auxiliary power ports are next!

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    Finally got my DD shelf installed and then built a bigger shelf / sleeper platform for the back. It all comes out in 5 minutes to go back to stock with the DD, or can use the shelf for work. Can use any combination of seat up or down as well. Fits a full size mattress.

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    No sir, not yet. Maybe next weekend. Kind of depends on when I find some time, or enough time. Not sure if that will require a little, or a lot to be honest. The DD shelf, phone holder, rexing dash cam, and LED console lights are next on the list, then maybe cluster and a new fuse panel to...
