1. The center console has that little compartment under the arm rest, I didn't know that was there for about year.

2. The passenger power window switch on the driver's side is NOT suppose to light up.

What else have you found after you owned your 4Runner for a while?

 

I found that my wallets empty since I bought it and every time I get a few bucks in my wallet the 4Runner steals it.

 

I found out that I should have gotten the Diff Lock!!!

 

I found out I should have left mine at the Stealership for someone else to worry about!

 

I found that it's possible for a vehicle to have zero mechanical problems even after 8 years of driving it.

 

I finally found out how to lift up the back seats... Then found a McDonalds cup under them!

 

i found out it looks cool with trail damage (rock rash, tree scrapes, big dents etc.)

 

Amen, brother

 

I lent my 4Runner to my father-in-law and he activated the switch that prevents the rear window from going up and down. I did not know that switch was there or what is was for...RTFM

 

I found:
1) The fuel filter is a ROYAL PITA to change.
2) It's not all that hard when you take the little access panel in the passenger side wheel well off.
3) There's a little access panel in the passenger side wheel well!
Yes, I learned them in that order. This is a great board!
4) How to get the rear deck light to work.

I'm sure I'll think of more eventually. I'm sure, too, that I'll learn more as I go. It's an ongoing process.

EEEWWWWW!!!

 

I found that it was too slow so I bolted a bunch of stuff on it.

 

i found out that owning a 4runner will make you feel good after doing a mod.

 

-after about a week, and ramming the parking brake handle in hard, i crawled under the dash and found the little button that turns out the light...

-when i locked the doors and went to close them while the key was in the ignition, thinking 'oh $@!T' as the door slammed.. and then they unlocked again.. phew

-about 4 months after owning it.. hey! theres a light at the back of the cargo area.. sweet, week later it stopped working. WTF!

theres lots.. 4runners were way ahead of their time. and still are.

 

it took me about 4 months to figure out the decklight

i learned i have skid plates from the factory

that my under carriage is really rusty

3.0s suck to fix

 

after owning a 4runner i learned that:

jeeps stink

 

the power window lock button affects the rear window too. i though i broke it somehow but the window lock was just on.

i am too ADHD so i crawled over the whole truck the night i got it, learning about everyhing and what things do.

 

I was in a buddy's 96 Chevy pu this week, sounds like a freight train ! My $runner is nice and quiet & tight , after 185000K

 

After 5 years I just found out it had heated mirrors when the rear window defrost is on.

I don't use them that much, being in Albuquerque, but cool none the less.

 

I found out mine came with a Maglite and a big 1 million candlepower spotlight....Oh and a huge roll of road flares!!!

 

The warning alarm that goes off when the headlights are left on is pretty cool.
