3rd gen 4runner. Deckplate & Weird thing inside.
Hi. Getting right to things. I think I have the deckplate mod done when I bought my runner about 2 weeks ago. If this does mean I have it done, to increase my power I just take the circular thing out and leave it in my truck or what?
Also what is the thing next to my rear view mirror? does it hold something?
I think it will upload upside down or sideways. uploading hasn't been very friendly to me.
Deckplate?

I'll get on that! So that is the deckplate mod? That's cool that I bought it with that! And leaving that circle out doesn't hurt anything at all?

Yep, that's the deckplate mod. I close mine in really sandy/dusty conditions or really wet ones. Did they leave you some sort of cleanable air filter (I have a tru-flow which I clean, oil lightly and re-use)?

They didn't even mention that there was a deckplate. I just took my mechanic with me and he said everything was good and I got it. Any reusable air filter will be better than disposable ones for the deckplate?

I don't think so, other than cost. I went with the True-flow for both trucks because of cost over the 96's paper version and others' reviews of the filter. The 99 had a K&N from the previous owner that he over-oiled and got the MAF dirty which caused hesitation and an intermittent code. One cleaned MAF and goodbye K&N and all is good. MY filters are 7 well cared for years old and still going.
