On a 2nd gen does that hole panel pull off to get at the rear speakers?

 

If you thinking of the whole trim that runs from the rear of the Runner to the back of the passenger doors, then yes. some where there is write-up about it. i'm not quite sure where it is at. I hope this helps.

 

This isn't exactly an Off Roading question. I'm moving it to SUV and Truck.

 

yeah its the entire panel. you have to take off certain parts of the trim to be able to take the panel off. like the trim that holds the carpet down at the back doors. and the small panel that is right next to the back seats. and the carpet one on the back door. after that you just start pulling and it should come off. on and the top panel right above the back door. make sure you take that off and there are 4 screws (i think its 4) 2 on each side that also hold the large panels in, the rest are just clips that you have to pull and hope that you don't brake. have fun!!!!

 

I used a panel removal tool to take out my panels. It made it a lot easier to reach in to where the clips are and provide force more locally around the clips reducing the possiblity of their breakage..... The fun part is putting the panels back on and trying to line up with the clips you can't see.

 

is this panel removal tool called a crowbar? hahaha
