I have a 2007 limited with the JBL synthesis sound system. I am missing one of the rear pillar speaker grilles and I’m hoping someone can help me find a part number or at least the actual name of the part so I can find a replacement online (hopefully). It’s hard to find 4runners in the junk yard because they’re built so well... any help is appreciated. I attached a photo of the grille that is missing, as well as the other side for reference. I think on the non JBL equipped vehicles, there is a mirror in place of these speakers/grilles. Thanks

The part numbers on my speaker grilles (in stone gray) are:
86269-35010 (RH)
86279-35010 (LH)
There is also an “A1” on each grille. That might be the color code, but I’m not positive about that. From your photos, it looks like you have a beige interior. I have a stone gray interior. If A1 is my color code, yours might be A0 or A2.
When I upgraded my stereo, I didn’t retain the tweeters in the rear pillars. I bought a pair of mirrors on eBay to go where the tweeters were. I think I paid $20 shipped for both mirrors. They had minor scratches all over that came out easily with scratch remover. Now they look good as new. After removing the tweeters and grilles, the mirrors popped right into place. The mirrors come in handy on occasion, and when I remember that I have them. I sometimes forget about them because I didn’t have them for ~12 years.

Here are pics of my mirrors. I forgot about the deep scratch on the right mirror, but I can’t see it when I’m driving.

That is very helpful, thank you! I just bought my 4runner a few days ago and I’m loving it. I’m going to derail my own thread here and ask what the best method of upgrading the stock head unit is.. I’m not too disappointed with how the stock JBL system sounds, but eventually I will want to upgrade the speakers and head unit. Did you use the harness kit from Crutchfield to retain your factory steering controls? If I want to keep the factory steering wheel controls, bypass the stock amp, and install all new speakers what is the best harness to do so? In doing this I’m guessing I will lose the two rear pillar speakers, front center dash speaker, and the two front door tweeters is that right? I’m sure this has been asked somewhere so if it has then just shame me publicly.

No public shaming from me, but you should look in the audio section/do a search for answers to your stereo upgrade questions. Not too many audio experts are going to see your question here.
I have even posted in several of the audio threads. Regarding my stereo, I replaced the entire JBL system with a new head unit, new amps and new speakers. I did not buy an aftermarket harness. I only used four wires on the Toyota plug, so I clipped it and attached the four wires I needed manually. You can use component speakers and retain the front door tweeters, but I bought coaxial speakers. I have two amps in my cargo area wired straight from the battery, and I added new speaker wire from the amps straight to the four door speakers and sub. My head unit has no internal power - it is a “dead head”.
I don’t know what would be involved re. retaining all the factory wiring, but bypassing the JBL system. I did it in a way that I could easily understand.
I don’t have steering wheel controls yet, but it’s on my list of summer projects. I bought a control unit that plugs into the back of my head unit, but there are several wires that I have to connect to my Toyota wiring, and I haven’t looked at it very closely yet.
