Because there is no such thing as a new 3rd gen, and I don't want a Tacoma, and do want a Toyota. In fact I almost did not "why even buy an automatic". While still shopping I almost got a 2014 FJ just to get at least slightly new kinda-4runner in manual. But a '14 fj is still pretty old and FJ...

And I can't stand that I have to use this automatic. It's always not going when I want and going when I don't want, and I never have this problem on my decrepit old 3rd gen, or 1st gen, or any other manual I've ever owned regardless of make or model. I even have the OTT tune now. If anything...

I did it with a Launch X431 about $100 from aliexpress, no subscription, use forever, unlimited vehicles, all makes. Even came with a tpms learner for gm & ford. Link to details in the description.

Sounds good. No problem. They are not in my way.

You wanna drive 3 hours to meet me half way somewhere? I'll do it just for the fun of it. I'm in central nj and it looks like Owego is the half-way point. I'll bring the torque wrench and bolts and throw 'em on. It will be a wash for us both in terms of money just because of the gas, but I'll be...

I would probably be constitutionally incapable of resisting the urge to make this jack do double duty as a 12v power source, and add a switch to make the exposed jack not live so water/snow/salty snow can get all over it. Or conversely maybe adding a big diode so that the +12v can only go in...

They also make a plug that goes in the OBDII port. It's not as convenient for regular frequent repeated use as a jack on the outside. If you are going to want to plug in regularly, then it's definitely worth installing a jack. But if ity's only going to be occasionally, you don't have to...

Anyway thanks for the part numbers and links.

Good god. Just holy hell. And I don't even know who to blame. Is it really just that thoughtless design? Or did all designers involved hate this as much as I do, but execs forced them to do it this way to reduce part counts and assembly steps, at the expense of all other priorities like...

Wow. Well I guess it makes sense to bother trying to rebuild the lip after all. That is kind of ridiculous to have such a big part so easily broken. I mean it's a mudflap. it IS going to take hits. At least the part costs less than I would have imagined.

Here's the original expansion nuts vs the license plate nuts. They need to poke through more than one layer on the back side so I found these unusual ones that are longer than most. I can't find a link for them on the Ace hardware site. They were in the loose hardware drawers, and they were...

The u-clip nuts were originally on part 1, now they are on part 2, and parts 1 & 2 are not connected to each other any more. Part 2 is not super rigid and only connected by real screws over on the inboard side. At the outboard side it's only attached by those loose push button rivets. So when...

I was wrong about one of the cracks I described, it was just this molding seam that stars at the top-right screw here and goes left & around the other screw.

Stock. I guess they are an option but a pre-installed option I didn't get to choose. I call them flaps but they are pretty rigid and sculpted, no flap or flex to them.

Well, I care about the guy behind me too. I mean for one thing I am the guy behind you and I don't need to be tailgating to catch a rock from you. And I would hate the imbalanced look with flaps in front and no matching ones in back.

What is this lower rear passenger side quarter panel part called & part number (in heritage blue)? And in other totally unrelated news of no particular consequence, if you have the mud flaps, do not back into a snow drift. :) Not even slowly, into a soft snow drift that isn't hard enough to...

Firewall's no problem at all. Nice empty hole with a plug all ready to go. Only problem is you can't see the spot from the inside so you have to work by feel to grab the wire and pull it in. The cold is why I haven't tried any other cameras yet. I have recieved a couple, including 2 that can be...

Look closely at the screen pic, the bottom of the car is not on the red line, it's just off the bottom of the screen. If you look through the text you can barely see the license plate. When the object in front of you just goes off the edge of the screen, you're still almost a foot away. With...

I recently had the dash apart again to install the beatsonic front camera kit, and along the way I tested restoring the factory wiring directly to the head unit without the beatsonic amp or any other harnesses. No change. What I have not tested yet is reconnecting the DCM. My key fob remote...

Beat-Sonic did upload the real (not scanned) manual: https://www.4runner6g.com/forum/attachments/cs15_instructionmanual_ver-01-pdf.31665/?hash=ee07c0e92a747cc04504b5edc39bfe4a This way you can print the programming directions to keep in the truck and keep the original at home where it won't...
