I haven't seen it listed, so...did you replace the dash tweeters on the '21 with the Subaru tweeters?

You know, I ordered a set, installed them and pulled the right out and sent them back!

I didn’t like the way they sounded. They were too tinny.
They are strictly tweets, no midrange at all!

There has to be a better option than those for that location!

Plenty of alternative solutions in this thread. Some really liked the Subaru tweeters, others were not impressed. Still others had suggestions and install instructions for better speakers for half the price (with one version being considerably more @ $229):

Kicker Subaru Tweeter Upgrade for 4runner?

Now you need to get MESO’s puddle light control kit, for anytime control of your lights. Makes a great alternative to ditch lights.

Then wire the meso puddles to your reverse trigger. It lets others know your backing up. Also provides additional light when backing up.

Oh that’s a good idea. I’ll have to look that up.

Thanks for the suggestion, but not doing that.
I’ve got Rigid’s that provide more than enough back up light! It’s like the Sun shining when it goes into reverse!

These photos may help you a little more.
In the first photo, notice at the end of the crude arrow, there is the small buss bar under the OEM fuse terminal to make the connection to the battery terminal for the cable to the auxiliary circuit.
This way all power to the auxiliary circuit is bypassing those fuses.
Hope these help.

Those two fuses, is that something new for 2021 models?
I presume the 250A is from the alternator? And the 70A is for supplying the vehicle’s loads?

Yes sir, you are correct.
My 2014 was not like this one at the Batt Terminals.

Wow awesome! So does that just attach to the existing trailer hitch and then still leave a spot to use for towing?

Yes sir it does attach to the existing pintle hitch and is made to allow for towing as well!
