#603 of 659 '05 4Runner grocery hooks? by bm196 Oct 02, 2005 (11:35 am)
If you have the parcel shelf, you don't get the hooks which are part of the interior rear wheels covers. But--it looks like the compartment where the parcel shelf locks on the wheel covers is removeable, to allow for replacement with the hooks--if you don't want to use the shelf or lock it down. Anybody find the replacement hooks anywhere? Part numbers?
#604 of 659 Best Bike Rack Option by gurgs24 Oct 11, 2005 (9:13 am)
I am trying to decide between getting a rear hitch bike rack or a roof mount rack to go on the factory rails to haul a couple of mountain bikes to the trails with my 05 4Runner. What do people think the best option is?   I own a trunk mount Saris rack right now that I used with my car which worked reasonable well, but when loaded with more than two bikes they would bump into each other and get scratched. Wondering if people have better luck keeping them apart with hitch mount racks.   I am 5'11" and reasonable fit so I don't think I would have too much trouble loading them on and off the roof rack, but I haven't ever tried so I don't know I guess. Also do the Yakima and Thule attachements they sell to adapt to the factory rack work pretty well? Also keep reading horror stories about how people forget the bikes are up there and crunching them. Definitely don't want to do that.   I guess I am not looking for the for the pros and cons of each because I found those in my research already, but just people's experiences with them and their utility. Thanks. Replies to this message: blasky (Nov 10, 2005 4:46 pm)

Replying to: jstone (Aug 10, 2005 2:49 pm) Try Ebay or Scionlife, look for a Scion 6-disk, an easy swap & steering wheel controls still work. E-mail me I'll give you more details/info. Unfortunately, it doesn't apply to those w/ JBL system.
#607 of 659 05 4Runner - add an air intake by donnandy Oct 26, 2005 (1:00 pm)
I am thinking of purchasing the K&N cold air intake and changing the factory air filter system. Have anybody modified the factory air filter to a cold air intake value to the manifold? If yes, are there any suggestions or issues after installing it? Replies to this message: tripowertom (Oct 27, 2005 4:33 pm) ut54321 (Dec 12, 2006 12:44 am)

Replying to: donnandy (Oct 26, 2005 1:00 pm) I installed the K&N "Aircharger" cold air intake (p/n 63-9023) on my '05 V6 Sport 4WD this past June. The kit was pretty straight forward to install, plan on a couple of hours, and looks good under the hood. Defineatly gives the truck a "throater" sound. K&N advertises a increase of 9hp or so at the rear wheels and improved gas mileage.....I havn't noticed the increased hp but I'm no a lead-foot. I am getting 20.5 mpg in mostly around town driving. I did save all of the factory parts I removed and the installation instructions.....just in case. I have had no problems at all since the installation. Hope this helps!
#611 of 659 4runner - entry remote / key fobs by blasky Nov 10, 2005 (2:17 pm)
Anyone know if a key fob from a 2003 4runner can be programmed to work on a 2005?   I have a 2005 but picked up two fobs on ebay that are from a 2003. They are new and have not been programmed, however, I noticed that the FCC ID numbers are different.   Before I pay the dealer to try to program them, Im wondering if this is the determining factor, or if the car will recognize multiple fob signals.   Thanks, Brian

Replying to: gurgs24 (Oct 11, 2005 9:13 am) Hi there - Being that you have an SUV, I would go with a rear hitch mount system. The car is high enough, and then to have to throw your bike on top is a bit of a hassle. My friend does this with his Lexus SUV, and its a bit of a joke. Especially if you go riding with short people, you are the one who is always loading/unloading the bikes. Not to mention the stories I have heard about people forgetting about the bikes on top of the car and they "TRY" to go into a drivethrough or park in the garage.   I would suggest going with a rear hatch rack that folds down to allow access to the tailgate. It truly is the most convenient. This is what I have had for my past two 4runners and it is great. In fact, I picked up a new rack this summer at Costco for $140 (it was a Softride rack that held 4 bikes and lowered effortlessly). I doubt they still have them since its a summer item, but I would look around. I chose a fold-down rack over the swing type. Also, my bike rack "arms" come off so its not sticking out when not in use. As a side note - I prefer the HOLLYWOOD racks over the Thule/Yakima bc their arms fold down when not in use.   Hope this helps   Brian
