What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

I added the American flag decals to my rear windows.

I saw these on a local 4R a while back and really like them. Seems to be a couple of places online to get these and I imagine quality may differ between sellers.

May I ask you (and anyone else reading who has these) where you purchased them and what you think about the fitment? And much is visibility impacted out the rear quarters? Thanks.
 
You just pull up on it. It has these 'fingers' that snap in. When you replace it the tips will bend if not aligned with slots. Just reach under and get them started in the right spot. Then press down. Give it a tap and it's back in place.

Now the bottom of that piece has a square box like 'foot' so it would not cave in under pressure. But I had to cut that off with a rotary tool and cutter disc. Very easy. Also the cloth part has two screws and 5 or 6 clips that hold it to the base. I took that off to make the cut. Then just snapped it back together.

It just pops apart pretty much like a lot of the other parts. You see a the top of that picture is a rectangle of gray foam. Look just above it. You see that slot. Now look to the left of the bottom edge of gray foam. You see that 'finger'. It fits in that slot and you can see, it one I bent once. It's deformed but would be tough to break. It still works fine. To the left of that bent one is another finger and it fits a slot off to the top right that can't be seen. Two more on the other end. One is barely in frame at very bottom of photo. The part that covers the seatbelt also fits in a slot but it's not a clip deal. It just drops in.

Actually, you can see the four slots in the first picture if you want an idea of where you need to pull.

That's for a Limited 3rd row seats model. Not sure the others are made that way.

Thanks, I know that panel just snaps out, I meant the panel with the subwoofer trim. Thanks anyway

Awesome to see the install... I don't see many pictures after the install... Thanks for posting this Jon...

Every time I open my hood, a friend of mine who is typically not easily impressed, says" Man, that looks like it was installed at the factory.

I don't know how you measured and aligned all those parts but mine went together like it was laser guided.

Here's another pic for your scrap book.

THANK YOU !.... Awesome Feedback....

I can't tell you how many of these I have made, 300-400 or more now...
 
I think I did the most expensive and at the same time cheapest modification yet to my 4runner.

I won a CVT RTT...... I am so excited :rockon:

Now i need to finish making my roof rack and start gathering gear for a camping trip.

I got mine on eBay and the fitment was spot on. Only impact on visibility is the rear passenger but not significant enough to impact driving. On the driver side I never really look out the rear quarter just because of its location compared to the driver seat.
 
Took a trip to Valdez Alaska for a fishing charter. Swung by Rainbow Ridge for the scenery and another photo shoot on the way back [emoji41]

Then I installed the Focal is 690toy front speakers. Makes an amazing difference and really moves the soundstage up, as many people have mentioned before. I also have a small Alpine amp tucked behind the dash, and a tiny Pioneer sub under the front seat. Put all this together and it makes a pretty good system.

By the way, I saw you just north of Rainbow Ridge [MENTION=146703]RedST4R[/MENTION] . I can point out some pretty awesome spots in that area for some mild off-roading and fantastic scenery if you're interested!
