Hello. New to this board. I bought my first 4Runner a month ago (2004, Limited, V8). Been lurking a while and thought I'd throw out a couple questions.

1) I have been having a hard time finding a front end cover (a.k.a. bra) for my vehicle. Has anyone found such a product. According to my local dealer I can order one directly from Toyota but they have no photo to show me how it looks. Additionally, it is almost $200 and I have to pay in advance. Thoughts???

2) Also, after only a few hundred miles, the 4Runner started making a squeaking noise anytime I ran over a significant bump. It almost sounds like I have a family of mice living in the cargo area. I'm pretty sure it is an interior problem but I can't zero in on what is causing the noise. I've taken it to the dealership but they say they can't find it. It's a minor complaint, but something that should not happen to a vehicle with only 1,500 miles. Any other 4th generation owners experience this problem?

Thanks in advance.

do you have a tonneau cover over the cargo area? mine sometimes squeaks over bumps. i think padding it out with some felt would stop it, but i just took it out instead.

I need the cover, when I'm transporting "special liquids". It makes me feel good to know it's under the cover.
