    Yeah our 2010 4runner doesn’t have it, but I’m almost certain my moms 2010 rav4 does. It should be standard, I bet it’s even nice for the ladies on a hot day

    I'll have to do that another day. I smell rain, and both my seats are still in the bed of the truck. OOF

    When I pull my seats to put the Katzkin leather on, I plan on renting one of these to do the carpet while everything is out...

    I'll look into that soon. Maybe this coming weekend.

    Just put the last bolt in, and have driven 1.5 miles up the road. The rain is here. Talk about good timing.

    One of these days I'll have this truck set up, and cleaned the way I want it. Lol

    I didn't take many finished photos. I was in a hurry to beat the rain, and drive up the road so I could post.

    Everything is cleaner, but still won't pass @Professional Hand Model's sniff test. :rofl:

    I know my back is aching from the gravel work, not to mention the seats. Drivers side wasn't too bad.
    Passenger seat though. :muscleflexing::curls::militarypress:

    Here are all the images I do have all in one place. Man, this website is slow today. Must be a lot of traffic on here, or on the tower. I'm trying to upload photos. Lol

    The robot weld that held the bracket with stud on for the trim piece that's missing broke some time or another. I'll have to drill it out, and bolt that back on. I do not enjoy a hole in my floor board going directly outside. Lol. 20200322_163548.jpg

    Tuff Stuff.. I was using that detailing cars back in the 90's. Well, until they got one of those fancy extraction machines.

    I put some miles on recently; having the vibration and the dash rattle gone plus adding the reverse camera and the BT I enjoy driving it more. Of course $1.90 gas helps too! Oh, and a fresh timing belt and water pump!

    Picked up some practically new Falken wild peaks mounted and balanced on some 02 4 runner wheels for $475.00 (certificates included). I was thinking about getting them mounted back on my starfish wheels but the look is kinda growing on me. If I do keep them on, debating whether to take the paint off or respray them.20200322_172359.jpg

    Added some covercraft seat savers. I was tempted to get some Katzkins this year, but I have a growing pile of stuff I need to install. Fit could probably be a bit better, but they have a nice durable feel.

    Put the Element fire extinguisher on the overhead molle rack. Zip ties at the moment.

    Generally you only need to replace if there's wear. Dirt cleans & we have some great cleaning forums on this site.

    I think I'll pull mine soon for a good cleaning and give it a good pressure wash it at the local self-serve car wash.

    I did the floormats last month. It was pretty nasty with the pressure washer!

    I mean the full carpet this time around.

    It's on the agenda. I am slightly concerned about the wiring on the floor boards. We have an electric pressure washer, but I'm not sure if it has enough "oomph" to blast all that out.

    I'll probably pull the front, and rear. Then hose her down, and suck out the remnants with a home depot rental.

    I just don't want to cause any rust, or any foul odors. My trucks carpet may be stained, but it doesn't stink. Even with my recent milk accident

    Hell, maybe I'll pull the whole carpet out. We will see how it goes.

    I really want to pull my plastic bedliner out, and investigate. I'm trying to stay busy on my truck, and not spend any money. I'm saving to build a shop. I am tired of being rained out, or not being able to tinker because I don't have adequate lighting, or heat. Lol (I work nights so on the weekends I'm off it's difficult to work on anything. This weekend was an exception.)

    I ask all the usuals here on this thread to keep me in check. Ask me once in a while how I'm doing with that.

    This coming weekend is oil change, and most likely pressure washing depending on weather. The oil change is happening regardless.

    Within the last few days I replaced the PCV valve, replaced the steering column seal and did an oil change with Mobile 1 High Millage/Toyota Filter.

    Today I dropped it off at the shop to get the new timing belt kit and Flowmaster 50 Delta Flow muffler installed.

    I'm in a very similar boat. I have headers that need installation, big brake kit and roof rack. I'm missing tools for some and a good spot for others. Having a dirt driveway sucks and also trying to be conservative with money until the outcome of this stuff is known.

    Kind of wish I didn't drop 10k on my house last month but also glad it wasn't the 15k I planned!

    I'm seriously considering using my Trump stimulus check to order long tube headers and dirty deeds exhaust/fuel injectors. But I recognize that's not exactly a smart use for that money....almost feel guilty.

    But I also know they want us to stimulate the economy with that money and it would help a small company like Dirty Deeds...

    Gravel driveway here! With my hip, and backing acting up in a big way I don't expect to always be able to lie down and tinker. So I'm putting the time in while I can.

    My pops thinks I should stay small scale, and just go bare minimum. I want to build my dream shop though lol big dreams come with big costs

    Also, side note from today. I cranked up the truck today to let her warm up. She beeped at me. I didn't think anything of it, and stopped to get gas. Cranked her up, and she beeped at me again. 3 or 4 steady beeps.

    No new error codes. What does it mean?

    Also, now that the floor is clean there is a persistent squeak somewhere on the passenger side. I'm going nuts. It really is squeaky clean.

    5 long beeps on crank up. I counted this time.

    What does it mean? Is my truck angry that I am cleaning it?

    No more squeak on passenger side anymore. I think it was items I had in my rear door rubbing

    I was buckled this time. Maybe the sensor for seat belt buckle is bad/going out.
