    Installed a Sprint Booster. I'm a really mellow older suburban driver, but the stock throttle latency and foot travel required to go faster was not working for me.

    Too expensive, but then again I'm glad there was a solution for this.

    Got some pictures of the front camera view yesterday. It really shows everything that is missing from view with the long hood. Please excuse the quality of the cell phone pictures.

    You’re right, this mod is plug and play in certain trims of certain years. And the actual part changed from a 6 pin device to a 4 pin for MY 2000+.

    It’s described in this thread. Read the linked posts. One member listed the combinations in a chart.

    Important:
    -Get the correct P/N for your 4R.
    -Decide if it’s plug and play or if you need to do a wiring mod.
    -When you get it, test it before snapping it into the dash. The tabs are oriented such that it will be very difficult to remove if you need to replace it.
    -There’s a post that describes how to set up the Entune screen for dimming.
    -The info is in the long linked thread, mostly toward the end. Summary chart: How to use:

    Thanks man, this is my first 4R, got it at the end of Feb. Didn't think to try this because in previous vehicles it turned on interior lights and the cargo/bed light in pickups. Went and tried it while cleaning the Outer Banks out of my truck today and sure enough

    All of them.
    Good deal. Glad it worked for you. Mine was the opposite. I was kinda disappointed it doesn’t turn on the interior lights. As far as I can tell there’s really no way to do what I want without either opening a door or manually turning on the lights.

    I have had this question since day one. How do we make a mod to turn on interior lights? Maybe tap a door signal to make the truck think a door is open..? I know little about electricity.
    This is a big annoyance (1st world problem) we have with the 4Runner.

    Any performance gains? I have been kind of following KDMaxx tuning and they keep saying their Tuning will be available soon. Still waiting. I agree, I have heard the Taco trans is kind of crappy, but even the manual guys have had good success with tuning the 3.5

    Mine went in today for a brush guard and Hella lights. I could NOT bust the bolts loose to install the guard (I'm 70+ with a bad knee and a heart condition). We have a good mechanic, so he's doing it today. Installing a gun safe in the wife's RAV4. Friday, it gets a brush guard and side rails. The colors are close to matching! Pics when finished!

    Turned over 80k on our cross country trip. Missed it by one mile so I waited a few and decided to get a long BoooB.

Thanks to the wife for the early fathers day gift. I guess bigger tires are in order at some point but it turned out great. A before and after pic below.

    LED lights I added a month ago were junk. One side lost about 5-6 of the within a few days. So I ordered some more expensive ones and installed them today when they came in.

    Silly little mod that really only pleases me, but whatever...

    Gave my JBA UCA's a few pumps of Mobil1 synthetic grease.

    Now she's all set for the weekly run to Kroger...:D
