New owner - much kudos!!

[thrak]

I just picked up an 07 4Runner Sport in Shadow Mica a couple weeks ago and just started poking aroung here a couple days ago. ALREADY, this place has provided me with 2 fixes that annoyed the CRAP outta me!!

WHY dont the maplights come on when you open the door?? It leaves the drivers/passengar area so dark at night... well, found the fix and it works awesome!!

WHY cant I turn on my fog lights with my parking lights like every other vehicle I've ever owned?? Well, found the fix and its working perfectly!

Just wanted to let you guys know this place is great!

1 question. I need a trailer hitch but dont know which one to get that will fill in the middle square on the bumper, instead of going underneath the bumper... is the factory one the only one that comes up there?

Pics! And no, thats not artificial lens flare.. it was just really bright that day haha!

Congrats and welcome to the forum. Nice bike. As for the question, i will defer that to more knowledgeable owners.

Sorry, don't know anything about hitches as mine came with one from the factory. I'm assuming you have a V6 since yours didn't come with a hitch?

I will comment on the bike though. Is that a Yamaha 650 custom? Lowered? Nice. I was going to get an custom as my first bike, but got a stupid good deal on my Magna instead.

Welcome and congrats ..... nice color too.

I need to do those mods too , to chicken Im guess , also would like to have live 12v output instead of ignition live.

Nice bike and 4Runner. You have the best of both worlds! Welcome to the site and 4Runner family.

Thanks everyone! :biggrin2:


I guess people browse this site late, and I'm up early...


The bike is a VStar 1100 custom... good eye, since the 650 looks almost the same!



I think I'll head over to the accessories section to ask abuot the hitch... yeah, its a V6, but omg, I'm getting 23-24mpg out of it! I never expected that!!! Much better than the 14 I was getting from my 5.9L V8 Ram I traded. :

Welcome, you can install the factory hitch or a Hidden Hitch. The Hidden Hitch is much more reasonable.

Could you point me in the direction of those two fixes?

Also, that's the exact same 4Runner I'm currently looking for! Do you mind if I ask how much over invoice you paid?

Actually, I got mine used. My credit union runs a car finder service. And they had to repo this. I got it 2 days later. Everything is in perfect shape.. even still had the new car smell!!!

2007 w/ less than 12,000 mi and I paid $24,100 before my trade. Needless to say I jumped on it. They repo'd it on wed. and I bought it friday.
