FYI if you're curious... the new (used) srs module fixed my flashing airbag light and no programming was necessary. That was the last of the apparent issues from my submerging, so as long as nothing else pops up all is well now!
What did you do with your 4runner today?

Deer hit is fixed!! I threw some extra reinforcement welds on my adapter plate to bumper bar for the winch while I was in there. Also cleaned up the lower grill area where the fairlead and ditch lights are. Was in a hurry when we cut the hole in the top of the cover for the winch remote the first time. Decided to spend an extra few minutes on it so much tighter now. Next time I get a slow day at work that break plants going in!

Trans fluid exchange at 218k with Maxlife. Wish me luck lol
218k fluid, still kinda red. Monitored temps over the past couple weeks and never saw over 163° around town
How I was able to pump fluid out by myself. Filled through the fill port on the trans. Overall easier job than I was expecting

I ordered 6 more kc cyclones for "rock lights". Since I have a Switchpros now, making the harness should be easy peasy.

Mounted ditch lights, Cali Raised LED light bar bracket and CB antenna. Ran out of daylight (and waiting on harness parts) to wire them, and need to mount CB.
Being dark (wasn't fun to do with dancing my flashlight around) I didn't get any pictures.

Changing up the wheel color again, back to the OG finish after a Citristrip soak
How hard was it to remove the color? Was that paint or some kind of dip?

It was Steel It stainless spray paint. Really no different than any other spray paint, I just liked the color. The key with Citristrip (found at Home Depot) is to lay it on THICK and cover it with plastic so it can't breathe and has to eat the paint. Took around 4 hours per wheel but very little cleanup afterwards with the pressure washer. Wish we could get the old Jasco that had methylene chloride in it, it would remove ANY paint in about 15min. But this Citristrip stuff has a nice orange smell to it, win some ya lose some.

Flush mount Bass control knob - 4th Gen 4R
I installed a Bass control knob for my MTX TNP212D2 Subwoofer
Dual 12" sealed enclosure with 250-watt mono amplifier.
Reading on another thread I saw where someone else had done this mod to one of the blanks on the dash console - left of the steering wheel.
I installed it next to a switch I'm afraid to touch... AUTO LSD anyone?
I'm also afraid to press the PARTY MODE switch in my 5th Gen! hehe
The mod is rather simple... I removed some of the ABS plastic behind the blank. Drilled the proper sized hole. Removed the base knob from it's housing and flush mounted it behind the blank with the help of some superglue.
Easy to reach and looks like it came that way.
From Godsmack to Tupac... I'm ready to roll!

Someone actually using their shelf! Knob relocation looks clean.

with that shelf, you can put 4 12s custom build box. but make sure you use some heavy duty velcro, or better yet, use some metal brackets, you don't want that flying during an accident.

Don't give me any ideas... hehe (Of course I'll have to look into that now)
I used heavy duty velcro to anchor the box down and this weekend I'll install some metal brackets along with:

At the moment I'm working on the sound system in my 2011 SR5 - a tad trickier because of that PM crap Toyota went with. I finally got the rear speakers functioning by bypassing the blown hatch speakers. Debating on replacing them just or leaving them jumpered. A sub would make them indistinguishable and a waste of time and money to replace.

I gave up on rear speakers, we usually put a lot more money to the front, sound deadener on the doors, and nice multi-channel amp with power.

Yeah, it was like chasing a ghost reading wiring diagrams for a couple of weeks trying to understand what the h*** they were thinking with that setup on the 2011 model. I'd get more sound from a tuna can than what was passed off as rear speakers. The hatch speakers, tho. I have some ideas for a stand-alone bluetooth setup for camping when the hatch is open more.

doing my suspension replacement and replacing all the boots on the axles, first my passenger axle was stuck, so i ordered the axle forks, they worked great. got as far as the control arms but all the cam bolts are frozen. so saw them off it is. got shitty blades this morning so only cut one bolt in like 30 mins of trying, so got carbines blades after i got out of work and in the morning back to take all the crap off. than its alot of energy bushings and order some new cam bolt time. do i just order two set of whichever brand from rockauto???
my drivers axle didn't have a circlip that retains it in place so it slide out easy. i also bent the shield on one of them is that replaceable?

Just bought a Pedal Commander for my 4th gen 4Runner Sport
I just bought a Pedal Commander for my 2005 4th gen 4Runner Sporty and looking forward to installing it tomorrow.
Has anyone else done this with their 4th gen?
What should my expectations be?
Is it worth it?
