Where did you get the heated seats? and did you have to make a seat bracket??

Got the seat heaters here:

2005 Toyota 4Runner Factory Seat Heaters(driver & passanger sides)

The 4Runner set installs without a hitch and as far as a seat bracket goes, no, but not sure what you're wondering about.

Very nice! Liking it so far.....

That must have been one hell of a tree you hit to rip half your roof rack off!!

How hard were the heaters to install? Very interested, although I'll be doing a little shopping around price-wise first.

LOL! Ironically it was NOT a big tree, just a very stout Aspen about 2" in diameter. Hooked the hi-lift just right and peeled it off. Didn't even feel it, just saw and heard the hi lift crashing off the back.

Seat heaters are very easy. There are a couple of threads with detailed instructions. The hardest part is getting into the seat cushions and threading the wire loom, but it only took me about 3 hours, despite the cat

LOL thanks, I'll check out the install threads...we were just talking about seat heaters the other day and I like how the factory buttons on these fit right into the FJ slots.

Truck looks great. Looks like you're ready for the Moab springfling II.

Yes, and the subpoena that was going to screw it up just got reissued for a date in May instead!

Yes, very nice, although I have run into a problem with one of the switches and might need to replace it, but waiting for warm weather (counter intuitively) to work on that.
