    The 4Runner tonneau cover retails for $150, but a lot of dealers are selling it online only for a little under $100. But then you plug in your address and shipping is usually $30-$40. I found one with a free shipping code offer, so I got it for under $100 last week. As far as protecting the cargo area from dog hair (and worse, like the occasional vomit), instead of just covering the back of the passenger seats I'd recommend a cargo area cover that has straps that attach around the posts of the back seat passenger headrests and covers not only the back of the 2nd row passenger seats, but the entire floor of the cargo area; you tuck the excess fabric in around the edges of the floor under the floor mat to keep it in place. It's easy to take the cover out out, hose it off and let it dry before putting it back in. I have one that I was using in a Lexus RX 350 and moved it to the 2018 4Runner Limited that I recently purchased. It was little big for the Lexus and fits better in the 4Runner. They are not made specific for a particular SUV but my recollection is they are in different sizes and the manufacturer advises which size to get for various SUVs. I have a golden retriever who sheds, can get wet and muddy on hikes and is a sloppy drinker from her water bowl, so having all but the plastic sides of the cargo area covered is essential to keeping the cargo area from becoming a mess over time.

    Just found your channel and have already found it so useful!! I’m cheap and never want to pay a lot of money for modifications so this video is so useful to empower us to be able to do it ourselves!! Thanks!! The first thing I’m doing when I get my 4Runner is doing the blacked out emblems!! $40 on Amazon!!

      I’m there with you, I think I did those emblem black out overlay’s 3 weeks after buying it. 😆

    I have the husky liner for the cargo and i love it. Also, I think the amber cuts through fog more than the white lights that’s why most ppl prefer them but I maybe wrong

    I also got my rims and roof rails powder coated black on my SR5. I have a center console organizer as well. I’m guessing you also have one in your glove box but forgot to mention it. My house is in mats from Toyota are eh, i’m going to get the Husky ones that you mentioned that are higher on the sides. 👍 I was also thinking about getting the grids that go in the back windows to store items up off the floor.

    what about a mod to keep the dust from accumulating on the inside of the hatch door? I live on a dirt road and sometimes I have a thick layer when I open the hatch door. Its a pain when I'm trying to load groceries w/o getting dust on my clothes.

    What's your take on the block heater?. I live in ND where it gets to -35/40 degrees in winter months. Is it a fact that the 5gen runner has a place in the block for the installation of a block heater. Love to hear the scoop on this. Thanks 😎👍

    • @VikingsGarage

      I’ve never installed one myself but yes with a quick google search you can actually see the pre-existing spot where it goes…
