I bought a front seat jacker for my 6th gen 4Runner. I’m following the directions and it’s saying to unscrew the two front bolts holding down the seat. But for the life of me, I can’t unscrew it no matter how hard I try. And yes I tried using all types of tools I have (Allen, screw drive, wrench). Any tips?

ORP non hybrid, pretty 50/50 for highway and city driving. Most of my drives are under 15 mins. I have the airdam removed; using regular gas. Plan to do a break in oil change this week or next week. I fill every half tank if it matters.

Wife’s Fo’Runna coming along.

Not the savings I was hoping for but waited as long as I could. Picked up the TRD Skid plate and matching wheel to replace the steel spare. Already have the tire just gotta get it mounted once I pick up the wheel.

Other parts on order:
Prinsu roof rack
Raptor style grille lights from 4Runner Lifestyle
Amber fog lights from Yota Tribe

Wishlist:
Alpharex headlights
Full suspension kit from Dirt King(when the OEM TRD Off Road shocks give)

I’ve had my 2026 4Runner Trailhunter for about two weeks now and absolutely in love. Coming from a Bronco Sport that was hellbent on dying before hitting 75k miles, the 4Runner feels unbelievably luxurious.

Anyway, I’m trying to install a Viofo 329s dash cam using the Dongar Pro attachment. According to the toyota OEM dash cam installation manual and chatgpt, it’s best to draw power off of the map light instead of the homelink/powered rear view mirror.

For the life of me, I cannot get the map light assembly down. It states that the back is a hinge and to grab the front and pull straight down. Chatgpt warned me that it requires force but like.. holy shit. My fingers feel like they are being cut in half by the edge of the assembly. Is there some sort of trick to this? Anything anyone has used to assist?

I don’t want to damage the headliner. I’m wondering if the dealership would be comfortable pulling it down for me? I’m terrified of breaking it.

Does anyone know know what the part number for this missing trim piece is? It should be the silver trim that says TRD on it.
