    Who cares? This never shows everything anyway.
    Mine's at the dealer while they try to fix an intermittently working backup camera. I have the black screen when going into reverse problem. It seems to happen most when it's really cold. Yay.

    Looks good. I’ve got the Sony AX8100, it’s ok. The Metra dash kit is garbage though. I need to try and put the factory one back on.

    There is a very easy fix for that. I had the issue as well, but after removing the hatch interior panel, then cutting the tape to let the wire breathe a bit, the issue has been taken care of. I wish I could find the thread with the write-up on it.

    Blacked out badges, window deflectors, smoked 3rd brake light. I have a Borla muffler on order as well as some color matched engine cover stickers. I'll be painting the stock wheels soon as well. Falken tires in the fall as well.

    It's not hard to find via googling. I already found it a couple days ago. I just wanted the dealer to do it under warranty saving me the work, but they're still at the point of not being able to replicate it, nothing coming up as a diagnostic fault (I wonder if this system is high tech enough to even throw OBD2 codes to begin with), no info from Toyota, etc.

    I'm going to get the 4Runner back tomorrow and take off the back plastic on Saturday morning to get access to the wiring you're talking about. I've taken off the equivalent piece on a Jeep Liberty before, and now I'm more properly equipped to do so than I was back when I did it on the Jeep.

    Part of the fix wasn't just cutting the tape but also zip tieing the plug that connects to the camera. I think there's another smaller panel that I might be able to utilize and would avoid needing to take the whole thing off, but I don't know if I'll have enough space to work if I try going through that panel.

    Is that the black Metra trim piece? I have the same unit and don't like my silver Metra trim. I plan on switching it out but its hard to find.

    When I get home this evening I’ll send you the run down on it. It’s very easy to do. Couple simple hand tools and some extra time. It’s a minor mod that gives you a little bit of extra storage under your rear seats without hindering the functionality of anything.

    I'm glad I have mud flaps and top plate on my sliders. Wish there were no holes. Imagine driving faster on trails hitting rocks on the side of the body without it. One of the reasons I support full running boards over predator steps.

    Added a cargo carrier up top. Got it Harbor Freight. They had a 10% off coupon this past weekend on items over $50. Normally list dor $99.99. After discount and taxes, it was $96 and some change.

    So far I like it.

    Was a small booger bear getting it to align just right. But won and done.

    Got the rear dashcam working. Grounding was a lot harder than it should have been.

    Also mounted my roof storage box.

    Haha! That must be nice! My bank would be PISSED if they saw what I did to their 4Runner! (Cut body mounts, welded/frame modifications) haha. Only a few more payments for us then I am doing a body mount Relocation AND the fun will Really begin! Congrats!

    We Installed the Meso dome lights (front and middle) and we have LOVED them.... They are bright white but we really only use them in Red mode. Our 8 year old insists on always having the light on at night so she can do whatever 8 year olds do when we are driving around at night and the Red does not kill my night vision while driving. 100% worth it for us

    Taking advantage of above-freezing temps, replaced the phone mount with an ISaddle ‎CH-384. It comes with two magnetic heads, but I prefer to use my existing Garmin clip. The pre-applied adhesive tape on the base was crap, so I had to replace it with two strips of 3M molding tape.

    Also installed a Rexing V3Plus dash cam with front and rear lenses:

    Noticed an occasional chirp coming from somewhere on my drivers side a few of months ago. It started shortly after I replaced my rotors and pads. I thought it might be a bad rotor at first but it went away so I forgot about it.......

    Until yesterday when that occasional chip turned into a constant squeal. Applying the brakes would not change the noise. So it must be a wheel bearing, I thought. Weird.......I haven't heard of anyone else replacing a wheel bearing at 80,000 miles. But I really hope it's a front wheel bearing and not a rear one. Rear wheel bearing looks like a pain in the ass to replace.

    Took off the front drivers side tire to see if I could replicate the sound. Yep, there it is......thankfully. But the sound wasn't coming from the hub. Looked around and I found that the anti-rattle clip from my brake pads had snapped in half and one side of it was just barely touching my rotor. As I would drive, it would squeal incredibly loud for such little contact.

    Ordered a new brake hardware kit for $13 and had the broken clip replaced in 5 min.

    No more squeal :yes:

    Yes, it is the black Metra trim piece. I got it from Crutchfield.
