Ok so i replaced my battery with a optima and accidently reversed the polairty and then changed it back but i think i blew a few fuses, i was wondering if i use the battery and replace the fuses with others of the same size but higher voltage would it hurt my car?

dont use higher than what it says just replace the ones that you blew and you should be fine

DO NOT use higher amperage (not Voltage) fuses. They are set to pop before the capacity of the wires are reached. If you use higher amperage fuses, you risk setting your truck on fire in the event something grounds out, OR if you messed anything up by crossing the cables.

RECAP: Overloaded wires=FIRE

well its hooked up straight right now but i just have to touch the old fuze thats broken off in my fuze box to my new one and it starts what amerage battery is normal for a 4 runner because i have a very power hungry stereo that uses alot of my batter.

i had a question i was not asking to be judged i do not spell very its not one of my strengths, isnt this forum supposed to be for help and advice, and not to say rude S#$@ to people

Being illiterate does not quite disqualify you from working on cars, but hooking up a battery backwards certainly does! Best advice is for your own and everyone else's safety is to outsource your car repair

thanks for the help guys im out of a car and so far iv got nothing but critisizm from people, this is really good forum

just replace the fuses that blew with the same size fuse. the only reason they blew is becuz you freakin hooked it up wrong. its not that hard to figure out. i mean come onnnnnnn. seriously?

do not use any higher than oem spec fuses otherwise your car will catch fire

Nothing but criticism? I believe I explained exactly what you need to do without critisizing you one bit. Like i said, replace the fuses with the correct amperage fuses. Higher amp fuses can cause a fire.

well i belive that the fuse trey comes out so that the fuses can be losend by some 8 or 10mm bolts as i have been reading other places but i cannot figure out how to get the fuse trey out to do so.

It slides out the bottom of the fuse block, and is clipped in. Depending on your year, the clip may be on the top of the fuse block, or inside of it.

it is a 2000, so do i need to un bolt the whole fuse box inorder to remove it.

You have to unbolt the bust block no matter what year it is. You have to have the clearance to slide it out the bottom.
