Here in the US, we did get the hoodscoop but it didn't do anything. What we didn't get is an externally mounted spare.

[@ef7andapp170]

11:28 the pad is supposed to be for static discharge. Touch the pad before you get out and close the door to avoid getting a shock when you touch the handle...in theory. I forget what other cars I've seen these on.

[@ethang.4907]

Maybe your supposed to touch it before filling up at a gas station?

[@paulmcadam6825]

Great post!

[@MegaRetr]

Wow these are very capable and reliable 😊🎉🎉🎉

[@limjaheybobandy]

I noticed a display right above the rearview mirror. Looked it up and seems like an overhead gauge cluster with an altimeter and compass? SO cool.

[@gabrielmillien7439]

Cool, the sticker looks nice.

[@Skunkola]

Oh lordy that's a stunner

[@nickpapagiorgio5056]

That is a nice truck! That would be a. Perfect winter vehicle for someone like me living in upstate ny! How much is that one going to the states for?

[@haqnawaz7752]

Head lights and front bumper does not come in this surf model. It is 2000 01 model

[@nismoj14]

These are very capable four-wheel drives just the independent front suspension lets them down

[@lennymirabeau874]

Those little pads might be for the keyless entry receiver signal if this one most probably had that option.

[@dahotrod1533]

My 95 surf had keyless entry at one point in it's life, the module is located under the drivers seat which has the aerial built in. Unfortunately it's impossible to get the keys and program them in this modern day.

We did get the hood scoop on 4Runner sport editions. They didn’t have a purpose except looks. But it was included. Check my page if you wanna see. My 02 had it.

[@PacificCoastAuto]

I looked it up and you are correct. It seems like it was a special model. Thanks for the knowledge. /Derek

[@KeithShaw-ih2mk]

Do you think you could find a japanese supplier for those stickers?

[@PacificCoastAuto]

You might be surprised what Toyota has lying around. They did small runs of all sorts of sticker packages. That said, a good sticker company can remake them pretty much identically. You would need measurements and some high quality pictures to use for reference.

cool
