    Constant Power Overhead Compartment

    This would work, but the information on their site is somewhat limited. Does this provide constant power on a 2021 4R? Based on what I saw on Reddit, it’s only powered on when the vehicle is on. I need this powered literally 24-7.

    Constant Power Overhead Compartment

    Oh, I have constant power I’ve added and tied into all around the truck. I’m specifically looking for constant power in the overhead compartment for this project. Since it is a wireless transmitter, I’d like to keep it overhead - with as little obstruction as possible.

    Constant Power Overhead Compartment

    Anyone know if there is constant (always hot) 12v power in the overhead compartment that I can tap into? I have a small BLE device that I’d like to hardwire up there, but it needs to be powered constantly. I feel like when I’ve left the map light on, it eventually turns off after the vehicle...

    Automating My 4Runner

    It’s been a while since I’ve been on here - got busy at work and then got back into my other hobby - home control/automation. My home control system had been suffering the long painful demise of smartthings. After about a month of rebuilding all the basics back in Febuary/March (lights, fans...

    Stacked Pax and Locking Handle - Solved

    I've been wanting to find a solution for locking (2) stacked rotopax with the locking handle without losing the security of the lock... in other words, keep people from being able to spin both the handle and 2nd pack off the base. From all my searching, I couldn't find a solution so I came up...

    Inverter switch backlit?

    Thanks all! And yes, it does seem quite dark to the left of the steering column.

    Inverter switch backlit?

    Dumb question here. Is the inverter switch supposed to be backlit? I mean the light blue backlight, not the orange/green leds when the inverter is on. I was driving after dark today and noticed it was dark, while the surrounding buttons were backlit. I know I tapped into one of those switches...

    Raising the Alternator's voltage to properly feed your AGM Battery!

    Has anyone used the OP’s suggested GMC diode in a 2020/2021? When I first got my runner and put the AGM batteries in, I reached out to one of the voltage booster manufacturers and they told me it wouldn’t work because 2020+ have smart alternators. Based on my testing, that did not appear to be...

    Always On Exterior Power Outlet

    Funny you should say that. To address the concern, many vehicles have an always hot 12v on the 7-pin. In fact, my 7-pin on my camper is regularly exposed to moisture when camped, and stays hot off the camper battery, but never had an issue with a short. That thing would have to be submerged. To...

    Always On Exterior Power Outlet

    Posting in case anyone wants to do the same. Since I’ve had the awning light kit, it’s always bugged me to have to route the power cable through weatherstripping at the door/liftgate to plug it in. I set out to find a way to use the 7-pin trailer connection to power this. This is what I came up...

    2014 Trail Rocker Trim

    Sorry to revive an old thread, but Daytonaviolet, did you get these installed? If so, a couple of questions: 1. How do the old ones come off? Just pry them off? 2. Did you have to order/use any additional parts to install the new fender flares? clips? the attached weather strip/seal?

    Brake squeal common?

    My 2021 squealed terribly when I first got it in the spring. Haven’t heard it in a while - not sure if the dealer addressed it at my 5K service or the conditions haven’t caused it to squeal in a while. It was embarrassing first thing in the morning at a campground… in a brand new vehicle no less.

    Help Needed: Bouncy Ride - 5100’s and Rear Spacers

    That’s my plan, but I am hoping someone can chime in on my theory/question that the much higher caster (1.8 on stock, 4.65 on SPC’s) is causing significant enough camber on turns to rub. Would be good to have some ideas/suggestions before going back in.
