where we were which was about 60 miles away, it didn't arrived yet. In the video at the end, 6:36 picture you can see the smoke in the distance.

Depending on where you are going in Big Sur. If its closer to Monterey then it will be smoker than south.

Put in my optima battery, but can someone tell me what this wire is under my dash.

Getting ready to go Caribou hunting next Friday so I am test fitting gear and making a swing out hitch mounted bumper for my gas cans and HI-Lift jack. I still have another nights worth of work on the bumper I believe.

I like those drawers, where from?

I like those drawers, where from?

They are Mil Surplus 81 mm Mortar cases. Made out of stamped steel. I bought them locally for $15 and I am actually going to buy a third for the middle this weekend. I have all of my recovery gear in them I just need another for my tools. They have holes in them so they are not water tight however, I am going to utilize the holes to put two small wheels in the back to make rolling them in and out easier.

my guess would be to hook up a trailer brake.

... can someone tell me what this wire is under my dash.

Electric Trailer brake connector would be my guess.

 

[RysiuM]

my guess would be to hook up a trailer brake.

In my 2012 SR5 trailer brake plug is deep, deep down inside on the left side (behind parking brake) wrapped together with big bunch of wires. It also came with matching plug in "extension cord". The plug doesn't look like on your picture. My brake control plug looks like the picture below:

However under the dash I have very similar plug hanging loose and not connected to anything. Wires from this plug are wrapped together with other wires going from different switches on the left side. I have no clue what this plug it is for. I tested it once if maybe I could get dimming circuit on one of these wires but no luck.

I tried to identify this plug using electrical diagram, but still couldn't find anything that might match. So bottom line is I have no clue :noidea:

In my 5th gen, I bought a 3rd gen

My wife needed a car before next week, after searching for a couple days I found this clean AZ owned 2002 Toyota 4Runner Sport Edition 2wd with 196kmiles and a clean carfax. I negotiated well and was able to purchase it on my Amex card for $6k out the door. They wanted $7500-otd so I think I got a killer deal. Tires and battery are new. Door locks need a look over. The interior is nearly perfect. I love it. I remember when these came out in 2002 and I thought they were the best thing out at the time. Let me know what you think!

Here is another

 

[derryck]

I just bought a silver w/ black 2016 4runner limited and put in some Diode Dynamics HIDs, and LED interior lights and some no name LED DRLs. I traded a 2014 Explorer Sport and the Explorer was MUCH quicker, drove more like a car on the road and had a lot more 'bells and whistles' but I love the 4runner. I had a 98 with 300K on the clock when I sold it and have always wanted another one. Super reliable, very off-road capable and the back window make it the best dog hauler on the planet and I have 2 Dobermans that love to ride in the car.

Only to the first picture. Second and third was way beyond that. The color looks the same as my Bismarck.
