#550 of 659 04 4runner v6 towing by white4runner Feb 18, 2005 (11:57 am)
I have an 04 4runner 4x4 with 4.0L v6 and 4spd auto. I want to tow a lite trailer that weighs 2200# dry with a max weight of 3150#. Will be towing in mountains about half the time. Should I add a trans cooler? Thanks
#551 of 659 Winch by packmann Feb 21, 2005 (6:05 pm)
I just ordered a 2005 4Runner Sport which will arrive in April. i have made a major lifestyle change and now live at a 6 acre site in the central California mountains. My house is at the top of a plot of land which slopes at a 70 degree angle. i want to protect my house from potential fires this summer. and there are many downed trees below my house. I am contemplating getting a Warn winch (9000 lb.0) to pull up braches which I chain saw on the slope below my house. The 4Runner will have a rear trailer hitch, and I plan on attaching a winch on a receiver bracket with an aircraft-type electrical connection to my battery to winch up the cut timber. Have any of you tried this set-up, and can you give me any advice? There is an asphalt road above the slope, and i figure on parking the 4Runner on the road and winching up the downed trees.

Replying to: packmann (Feb 21, 2005 6:05 pm) I have a friend with a Wood-Mizer and he takes a hydraulic winch on a skid into the woods. It's easier to position than a SUV and is a pretty versatile setup. He ties the skid off on stumps and uses the 15' remote to control the log hauling so he's out of the line of fire if the cable breaks.   I'm in a grass fire area so maintaining my Survivable Space is a bit easier.   Steve, Host

Thanks Steve, HOST for the reply to my inquiry. I'm concerned that a wood mizer, winch , and a skid, might not do too well on a 70% slope. I will await the delivery of the V-8 Sport 4X4 4Runner and hope that some other reader of this forum has had some experience with a rear-mounted winch, connected to a universal mount on a rear hitch trailer receiver. I'm also curious whether or not the VIP securiy sysem may be a value to me. I drive to work, where I have a secure parking place. I garage my vehicle at my home. I live in a very rural mountain area, but I may well park my vehicle at a trailhead and snowshoe, hike, or mountain bike from the 4Runner. Will the VIP accessory be worth it in my situation? I can still add port installed options until late March. What accessories would any of you wished that you had added, and why? Replies to this message: skipjakk (Mar 11, 2005 5:08 pm)

Replying to: packmann (Feb 21, 2005 6:05 pm) Hello Packmann, This is off of the automotive subject, but I wanted to ask you a question or two (if you don't mind). I live in the San Diego area and am looking for some land up in your neck of the woods. Can you tell me what town you are near and the cost per acre, land is going for? Additionally, is there more land available there? I'm also contemplating Oregon. My email address is yobow1yahoo.com (that's a one after the w). Thanks and I hope to hear from you soon.   David

#557 of 659 Aftermarket Stereo Question.... by kevink32 Mar 02, 2005 (7:52 pm)
Just placed an order for my 2005 4Runner Sport; comes in about a week. Anyways, I opted for the stock toyota stereo due to the fact that I want to put my own stereo components into the vehicle. The question is, does anyone have any experience with changing out the stock stereo for an aftermarket one. My plan is to replace the stock unit with an aftermarket Double-DIN Stereo. I have measured the slot that's in the 4RUNNER, and it seems to measure 4" by 8". From what I've read, the Double-DIN aftermarket recievers measure around 4" by 7". I'm wondering if the slot behind the stock stereo is actually a Double-DIN opening with the correct dimensions, or if some sort of mounting kit will be needed to make this fit. If a kit is needed, does anyone know where one of these can be attained? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help..... Replies to this message: socal007 (Mar 03, 2005 10:45 pm)

Replying to: kevink32 (Mar 02, 2005 7:52 pm) Easiest upgrade is to swap out the OE head-unit for one out of a Scion. I did and so have many others. Try searching other websites, 4runner dot org, Tundra solutions dot com for info. Scion 1804 is single disc, 1805 is 6 disc. Don't use any other Scion mdl #, these are the newer mdl's.
