Factory JBL sub enclosure help

No, No and No
If you run the factory enclosure, buy the JL or Rockford 8". The enclosure volume was something like .43ft3. Minus sub displacement, looking at .39-.4ft3. I had modeled a few different 8" subs in winisd and the JL and RF modeled the best. Pump 250w rms to these and call it a day.
You may not even need a t-harness that tacotunes sells. If your amp takes high level inputs, just tap the front speaker wires, and ignition signal, run those to amp. Power and ground and call it a day. These are subs, not much to it.

A stealth option, adds a sub, amplifies other speakers and it's tuned for the vehicle.

That's just the universal unit.
The one for the 4runner is Alpine PSU-300FRN Powered System Upgrade for select 2010-up Toyota 4Runner without factory premium sound at Crutchfield and $750

Thats the one. Must have posted the wrong link.
After doing some research and reading several related threads, I decided to ditch the OEM JBL sub and replace it with a JL8W3. My overall concern was would the sub fit behind the factory JBL panel. I recently blew a dash speaker and already had an Alpine headunit so I decided to replace all the speakers and use a previous 5 channel amp and Audio EQS EQ to do the upgrade. The end result was much much better than the OEM JBL system. For the JL sub, it is pretty much unreal.
I have a background in car audio and have been around the sub block a time our two. My last 4Runner had a JL10W3. The JL8W3 in the OEM enclosure can carry every bit of sound my 10W3 could. It is not just a night and day change, it is a stratosphere above what the OEM sub was. If your vehicle can accommodate the $180 OEM enclosure and you want near over the top sound it is well worth the upgrade. Everything tucked behind the factory panel with room to spare. The 8W3 is powered by an Alpine PDR-V75 5 channel amp with the 5th channel rated at 250 going to the sub. I added the optional sub volume control knob to the center console which is a must if you are adding this sub.

Question: will the factory enclosure fit a standard SR5 WITHOUT 3rd row? I've only seen it retrofitted in a 3rd row model.
Yep. But you gonna have to make some kind of panel to cover the void left from removing the pocket. I do have 3rd row rear panel envy.

Good job on the factory upgrade. The 8w3 is good for what it is. I've been looking for more output though, and looks like the new sundown sd4-8 with it's neo motor looks like it should fit
I was just comparing the SD4 in 8". It has about 1mm LESS depth than the JL. So it should work. I prefer the inverted surround on the SD4 as well. Helps with front clearance imho.

Yep, definitely a different rear trim panel

This is awesome! I have the OE JBL system in my limited. Would changing the factory JBL sub out for the JL8W3 be beneficial and work out ok with the stock sub amp?

I don't know what the difference is but I can confirm 86150-35080 fit my 2017 SR5 without JBL. And contrary to what others are saying, it does come with a JBL sub (swapped it for a JL 8w3v3-4, and made a custom adapter ring - no mods to the enclosure). I like interior things being factory-looking, so I also sprung for the replacement panel 64730-35140-C0.

I want to put 2 10s in that location, just don't have time to fab the enclosure.

Question for the non-third row option - I've got the part number 86150-35080 sitting in a cart, ready to pull the trigger and swap out the factory JBL for a low profile Kicker or Pioneer 8" in its place. Price is right for an enclosure that won't take up any cargo space, but for the two row models, it looks like I'll need to spend another $340 plus shipping for the new trim panel...that's crazy talk. I'd rather spend a fixed $450 on the Phantom Fit enclosure with a 10" preloaded that just bumps out a couple of inches. Is there a way to get around spending on the new trim panel for the two row models? Maybe go with a black fabric or mesh liner across the opening to cover the factory sub box in the storage cubby? This would be the inspiration, but it's from a custom build according to another thread...same concept though.

I rocked the open panel look for about 2 years, and I think it looked just fine
