Toyota parts website search reveals mini fuses for the Tundra 3rd Gen. Just confirming whether Tundra uses micro fuse or mini fuse? Can't find the answer elsewhere. I believe older Tundra had micro fuses?

2011 GX 460 - I am not interested in MTS, but only in installing crawl control. Is it okay to install just crawl control without MTS? Secondly, if I install crawl control, do I have to do Zero Point Calibration?

Ome more thing, are you using third row seats? If not, they get a 30A rated constant 12V too! Right in the boot area. But yes, its off the main battery and that may not be desirable

Thanks. I don't plan on a dual system so decided to tap into the internal fuse box. Apparently there is a unfused ignition controlled suppy there . I plan to tap it with a fuse tapper and 15A fuse. Good enough to run my 45W fridge and charge phones

yup, constant hot. I found the answer on clublexus https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gx-2nd-gen-2010-present/781047-diy-12v-second-row-accessory-power-for-the-gx-460-a.html

To add I have removed the rear seats. Does the fuse get power when car is off? If not then I can simply pull 12V directly from that

Hello I am adding a 12V socket to the cargo area. I don't want to run it direct from battery, but use a relay to switch it so that it get power only when ignition is on. Where did you tap such a 12V supply from in the engine bay?

All exposed prongs inside the engine by fuse box get 12V live with ignition off too. Wondering what to tap. Need something which gets 12V only when ignition is on

In the engine bay I see a "slot" marked 400W inverter. What's this? I am wondering if its good to pull ignition controlled 12V 20A from this. Is the pin live when car is on? I was thinking of using the SPDT relay, and tapping off the battery if this pin is not feasible. In that case, where...

Congratulations! If you do not mind, can you share the price you paid. Having reference pricing will help everyone a lot.

Perks of living in California. I will offer 24-25K if the vehicle is good. Carvana etc., are at 35000$ !!

Can I not just use something to pull out a few drops of fluid from the engine bay? The 14 tics thing. Should I worry about that? I will be inspecting lines for rust etc., Moreover this vehicle is a true mall cruiser so the AHC has not been stressed really. Its just the age (150,000 miles)

Thanks, We are thinking of getting the LX and transferring the tent from our GX to the new vehicle (LX 570). Just wondering if the shorter length is an issue. I can definitely get after market reinforced crossbars too

I have a CVT mount shasta tent. Its a 2+ person tent, hard shell and very long as its non folding (6 feet length). What kind of crossbar do I need to mount it on the stock rails? Or do I absolutely need a roof rack?

The 100 series people sent me here. Could not find a dedicated AHC thread, figured this is the best place to ask for advice ----- Hello fellow mudders. Insurance totalled our GX 470, and in a couple of days she will be gone. We had very good memories with her. Got at 150,000 miles, and now gone...
