As long as it's unlocked, it's perfectly fine. I've done it since I bought it new. FWIW, my dealer made the same complaint. I suspect they either know something Toyota isn't telling 4Runner owners, or they don't know the functionality of the vehicle.

The dealers just don't know what they are talking about on this issue. The only difference between the V6 system and the V8 system is the option for 2WD on the V6, other than that they are identical. Toyota gave it the 2WD option because they figured someone buying a V6 would be looking for better gas mileage, so they gave it a 2WD option to increase it a little more. When it is in 4WD unlocked, it is in the same mode the V8 is in all the time. You should call the service manager and ask him why it is not good to run it in 4WD. It is very bad that the service departments don't know how these trucks work, because they probably scare a lot of people.

The answer, I believe, is both. I have a 2004 SR5, and the system does fold flat when the extra "shelf" is not needed. The fact that this is an option leads me to believe that it can be removed, although I'm not sure why one would want/need to since it folds flat. Hope this helps!

Any one have any expierience with dimming LCD in their auto climate control or know if you can change the lights it is in a 99 Runner Limited. It is only at night when lights are on so i am assuming it is an illumination light or something. Its only backlight on the screen the lights on the knobs are still bright.
Thanks

In the 2005 Limited, the shelf can be flattened and/or removed.

I have been researching a similar problem where my auto climate display is dim on one side. I have yet to tackle this, but according to the manual, you have to remove the AC control panel (removing 2 screws and 4 claws). Once you remove the face of the AC control panel you should be able to change out the bulbs.

I own a 1999 Toyota 4Runner SR5 2WD and had the rotors replaced 3 times under warranty and now having the same problem. Should I just sale the car. I can't afford rotors every 5-10,000 miles.

If you can afford it ... the answer is YES. Btw, I just purchased a 2006 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4WD V8 (5 Speed) Shadow Mica/Stone Leather, after selling my 2005 Camry, and I am loving it, as nothing can compare next to it...
I believe and hope the 2006 4Runner should not have rotor issues (most bugs worked out as it is 4th year production since 2003 model), as I have been doing a lot of research and have not found any issues with the generation of 2003 year model.
I drove other SUVs compact/medium size but nothing can compare to the beast (I call the 4Runner)...
Good luck...
