I've been looking to replace my rear wiper with something better than the OEM wiper for a while, but as anyone who has replaced the rear wiper knows, it screws on to the arm rather than using a traditional mounting method like the standard hook mounting on the front wipers. In looking around for another option, I've seen people mention using the Anco 48-08 adapter, but I've been unable to find it in stock. While looking around for it I did find an adapter made by Bosch which doesn't state that it fits a 3rd gen 4runner, but based on reviews people had used it successfully. For $10, I decided to give it a shot. This is the part I ordered. It fits, and was easy to install. Just unscrew the old blade, and screw the adapter in in it's place. Then you can use any hook style wiper blade on the rear. I went with this one. The only problem I ran into is that the new blade has a latching cover which goes over the hook for extra security. The clearance for getting the wiper onto the adapter doesn't work for that, but I was able to pop the cover off, mount the blade, and then pop the cover back on. So far I'm pretty happy with the new blade, it does a much better job of fully clearing the rear window than the OEM one which had inconsistent contact.
