Augie, thanks for the reply but I'm still not sure entirely what I'm supposed to do. Do you think you can try and tell me one more time?

http://www.thuleracks.com/thule/product.asp?dept_id=2&sku=754xt The Thule bars mount to the clamp onto the stock rack and replace the stock cross bars. I'd like to remove the two cross bars, if I can, as for me they are no longer necessary.

I just bought a set of Thule bars that mount onto the stock rack. But I'd like to remove the stock bars so that I don't have two different sets of bars, and with one of those not being used at all. Can anyone give me some tips?

I noticed that when the sun hits my temp. and clock panel that icons for the air bag show up from the lighting and make them visible. Yet, unlike many vehicles that have a very visible on/off switch for the passenger side airbag on the dash through usage of the key, I've not found one on my...

How is it not level? Are you speaking of when you are towing?

While working to mount my Streamlight flashlight in my recently acquired '99 Cruiser, I moved the seats around to facilitate easy access to my mount spot. Under the drivers seat I noticed a fan-type thingamabob and I am unsure of its usage and purpose. Looking at that spot from under the...

How about walking or riding a bike everyday and saving yourself lots of money spent on maintaining the vehicle as well as keeping one more car off the road?

My recently purchased '99 Cruiser has the stock roof rack, but the rails themselves are inadequate to the task of securely carrying my two 17 foot kayaks. For anyone in the know . . . what do I need? I had a Yakima rack that attached onto my '94 4Runner using clamps at the end of the...

I'm interested in wiring up a few electrical odds and ends in my truck and would like to see your ideas as to how you have wired up switches for multiple items. The stock switch holes will only work for a limited number of accessories, and I'm sure that some of you out there have a whole switch...

I don't know about thier contributions to Cruisers from personal experience or from hearing about them from others, but they are not an uncommon mod on other Toyota pickups and 4Runner's. They give a horsepower gain because it is less drag on the engine. And you can wire up a switch in the...

In my '99 Cruiser I would like for the 12v plugs front and rear, or at least one of the two, to give constant power even when the truck is turned off. Is there an easy way I can do this?

Daytime running lights are fine as a concept, but at night even before I turn on my low beams once I switch the ignition the daytime running lights come on automatically. I'd like to put a manual switch on them so that they only come on when the switch is on. What would be the best way to go...

My brother and I sat down on the folded down tailgate on my '99 Cruiser yesterday and the tailgate cable on the passenger side snapped. After I removed the rubber sheath the reason for the snap was rather evident. It seems that water had gotten inside the sheath and had rusted the cable away...

So what do the switches control?

I tried to install the third row seats in my recently purchased '99 Cruiser this afternoon. They were just sitting in the back of the truck at purchase. I can't for the life of me get the front latch into the hole in the floor so I can bring the rear latch down and lock the seat in place...
