What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

Looks clean. They also have these same style buttons but with two buttons in 1 slot.

 

I also installed in the rear cargo area.

 

Glad to help!

 

Man, I feel your pain. I am a bit OCD about this kind of stuff and could NEVER get rid of some areas inside that would show up in certain lighting conditions etc. Tried to figure out what the right cleaner to use etc. no luck. Then this past weekend my wife said she saw some thing on windshield cleaning on social media somewhere and told me about it.

Not sure I got the steps 100% right, but my 2018 windshield (inside) looks the best it ever has...

1. Wipe with liberal amount of rubbing alcohol on a microfiber cloth.
2. Dry/wipe with dry microfiber cloth.
3. Wipe with window cleaner on a microfiber cloth.
4. Wipe with dry microfiber cloth.

All of that said, the outside is pitted and 'sandblasted' all to hell. The joys of New England roads and winters.

 

I use a foam window cleaner in an aerosol can and a squeegee on the inside and once a month clay bar the outside.

 

Ahhh... Clay bar outside, good call.

 

Here's my "Anytime " Fog light switch I mentioned in another post

 

Added this ICS holder for my SwitchPros panel -

 

i believe its supposed to be that way, always stars pushing forward.

 

its always a battle in the concrete jungle!

 

Think of it this way: You have a [fabric] flag, on a flagpole, on each side of the vehicle. The vehicle is in motion. Now which way will the flags fly? The stars will be forward ("anchored" on the flagpole end of the fabric) on both sides of the vehicle and the "loose end' of each flag will be pointing toward the rear of the vehicle. (That is, of course, assuming the vehicle is moving forward.) So when viewing the moving vehicle from the passenger's side, the stars will be toward the front of the vehicle, providing the flag that "backward" look.

Want to mess your brain up a little more? Think about pennants on a [forward-moving] sailboat. The "loose end" of the pennant actually points toward the bow, rather than the stern. Why? The wind inflating the sails and moving the craft blows the pennant.

Now you're just giving me a headache.

 

im good, i know which way they go as I already have them on my 2022 and never had a second guess about the passenger side.

 

Stop bringing logic to this thread !

 

All of this would make sense, if it werent for the fact that the masses of air move in circles due to the fact that the earth is flat. The rest is just an optic illusion.

 

Ahh yes, this reminds of me of that famous quote from Franklin D. Roosevelt: The only thing we have to fear is....SPHERE itself!

 

Lolol, nice.

 

I just ordered it after seeing your post. Thx.

 

Drove the 2011 to our Granddaughter & Grandson, Grandparents Day Special at school.

 

Sorry. It's the engineer/nerd in me.

 

So I tried the seat heat. I could feel the heat, not super warm like and old Jeep Grand we had, but I am sure it will feel good once the temps really drop.

 

Thank you for the update!!

 

Got all my skid plates (back) on, replaced most of the hardware.

Look at those beautiful shiny carriage bolts.

 

Fellow engineer; I can attest.
