I too have had good battery life in my vehicles using the Tender. What you have is a good setup too. To keep me from driving off with the Tender attached I put a clothes-pin on the front drivers seat when the tender is connected. When I open my door I take the clothes-pin off the seat and...
No, disconnecting the battery is not easier for me than just plugging it into the socket in front of the vehicle. Disconnecting the negative battery cable doesn't keep the battery chemically active and proper voltage maintained during storage. Disconnecting the battery does stop the parasitic...
I'll have to get the model number off the Tender tomorrow but The connections I think are all the same on all of the Tenders I have. I connected the 16 guage positive wire to the battery terminal in the underhood passenger side fuse panel. I drilled a small hole in the side of the panel to allow...
On occasion my TRD PRO will not be driven on a daily basis and could be sitting for a week or two. I like to keep a battery tender on my 12V battery during that time. To avoid having to open the hood and remove the fuse panel cover to install the Battery Tender, I installed an external Battery...
If you drive with the rear tailgate window down on your 4Runner be aware that changing the airflow dynamics (extending the tail pipe) could possibly cause exhaust fumes to enter the cabin through the back tailgate window. Just something to think about.
I found you can purchase the spray color of your vehicle at O'Riely Auto Parts. It's $36 a can, and a perfet match for the last 3 vehicles I bought it for.
Thanks for clearifying the "HV" for me. That was simple enough, just wasn't thinking, lol. Well I'm about to find out today hopefully. I don't have access to service manual information or a wiring diagram and I want to be sure before I use that terminal. I spent $72,000 for the Pro so I should...
Not sure what you mean by "HV" manual. But if you're refering to High Voltage I'm not posting about the High Voltage battey here. I'm posting about the vehicle 12 volt battery here. Like I mentioned in my post, to jump start the vehicle or connect a battery tender to it, you connect to the...
They were used on the Raptors by Ford to identify and satisfy the width regulations for safety. Not to produce more visual light for the driver. They since became popular for truck enthusiast to add on other vehicles in the amber color.
Ford uses amber LED grille lights (officially...
On the 2025 4Runner TRD PRO Hybrid does anyone know if this terminal in the passenger side under-hood fuse panel is connected directly to the battery? I want to connect a lead to it and run it out to the front of my grille area to connect a battery tender rather than opening the hood all of the...
Nice! I read on one forum that installing the gas struts helped or stopped his hood from the common hood vibration that plagues the 4Runners while driving down the road. Did these struts have any affect on the hood vibration? If so, I would purchase them for this reason alone. The hood vibrating...
Why not just be careful when getting in and out and conentrate on not kicking your panels. And, let passengers know that too. That's what I do and my panels look like new on all of my vehicles. I have a Corvette that the panels look like new and Vettes are hard to get in and out of. I do have...
