    I mounted it in the bed and yes I removed and sold my S/C. I could not get rid of a pinging issue that caused the engine temperatures to rise.

    Bummer about the s/c. I thought the meth injection was supposed to really help with the pinging.
    Did you ever fix the seatbelt issue with the 4runner seats?

    My pinging issue was pre boost, the methanol didn't kick in till after boost, so it didn't help. I installed a piggy back computer trying to help, but it didn't.
    No, I ended up getting a driver bucket seat out of a Tacoma. But I want to find a 4Runner Limited driver seat to replace it, way more comfortable.

    What is the differance between the limited seat and the one that you had prior?
    You said other one seated you down lower too??
    Thanks for answering my questions.

    The 4Runner seats have more adjustments then the Tacoma seats. And the 3rd Gen 4Runner seats match Tacoma seatbelts.

    Got back from our 1500 mile round trip to Colorado and back and decided to work on my trailer.
    Added a battery box, power disconnect, fuse box, cables and quick disconnect.

    It is a cheap one I got off Amazon, it doesn't have LED's so I need an external light source at night.
    And thank you

    So I purchased a 5 watt battery mender for my expedition trailer. But I won't be able to work on it for a while, so I put it on my Prinsu roof rack to see how it works on my auxiliary battery on my truck.
