Hey guys,

I have a 2017 TRD Off-road premium that will be here in just a couple weeks and I've spent so much time researching the big upgrades, but I feel like I haven't paid enough attention to the little things!
I have been driving an older car for a decade now and am somewhat behind the times...

I was wondering what kinds of small/cheap accessories you were happy to find for your new 5th gen 4runner.
Things that:

Let's put a high price limit of $200, but it would be fun to see the items <$50 that really make your day! The things that a lot of people don't think about! Pictures and LINKS appreciated! Cheers!

Added Amazon links to itemized list above.

Came across this tire plug repair kit from ARB and I thought it was pretty nice being all together in a case but also coming with a tire pressure gauge, pliers, valve stems, valve stem cores, extra caps, small fold out razor blade and valve stem core tool. I think it was $40 iirc, but its something that could prove priceless if you break a valve stem on a 4x4 trip or need to plug a tire in a pinch.

Tire plugs are great.
I have use this type of kit many times over the years.

I would consider this a requirement not an accessory...
 
LED rechargeable work light

When I received this as a gift from my in-laws I thought it would be a nice light for around the garage, then I realized how PERFECT it is for the 4 runner:

Integrated hooks allow it to hang in the cargo area.
Strong magnets on both ends allow it to attach to the body.
Ability to fold gets light where it’s needed.
Included USB charger allows for easy charging

Yeah, it’s just a light - but it’s a damn fine light.

Honeywell 1200 Lumen Collapsible Multi-Function Rechargeable Work Light Honeywell 1200 Lumen Collapsible Multi-Function Rechargeable Work Light - - Amazon.com

Just gotta give my +1 for this light! I've been wanting to light up the cargo area but didn't want to cut into the ceiling liner to make a permanent mod. This is the perfect length across.

I couldn't use the magnets since I have the aluminum BPF panels, so my solution was cheap $5 V-rings off Amazon rubber wrapped to prevent them from rattling. Works like a charm!

Well daeson, I'm thinking a "Must have (Cheap) accessories for your new 4runner!" might be a box of tissues. It meets all of your criteria, well not maybe cool, but since there are way too many REAL cool things already on this thread it's the best I could do to help out. Happy Trails.
 
For anyone in Canada with dogs or pets or simply wanting to protect your back seats, I have found this seat cover to be really good. they also sell the single covers so you can use them for the third row if you have one

SEAT COVERS
– Optimus Gear


It has zippers so you can fold down the centre piece and/or one of the two seats and still have coverage on the seats that stay up. This is hard to find on many seat covers

Also there are snaps that allow access to the seatbelts and car seat latches as well. Not cheap by any means but IMO worth it if you have dogs or even children in the back. A con is that it can slide around a bit but it's not too bad

I also have the seat back cargo liner from toyota. its OK, not amazing but not bad, it protects the back seats and cargo area. the only con is I wish it stuck better onto the seats. you can add a velcro strip to add more sticking power but I didn't bother - it didn't bother me that much

3d maxpider mats for coverage of all three rows of carpet. hard to find in general if you have a third row
 
Good call. I was just going to post about tool box drawer liner and spray adhesive in those stupid cubbies. Your template will make that super easy. $5 for the drawer liner and $5 for a can of Super 77 spray adhesive.

And for a suggestion no one has done yet, FJ Cruiser D Rings to replace the coat hooks... or you can go to the next level and do a paracord frame using those D rings and hang a 28"x28" bungee net off it...

$10 ea for the D rings and maybe $20 in paracord, velcro wraps cut to size, and the bungee net.

These D rings are an awesome idea! Just did my first road trip and the coat hangers in the back are useless!
