1998 4-runner sr5

Pop into your local car audio shop and ask them if it pops out as your thinking of changing stereos, they may do it for you for free if your smiling nicely at them.

Thks Scotty. It's worth a try.

Try looking at some of the Australian Surf owners sites like

Thanks Bubba, this is a good site. I did not find the info I need but I am not finished looking thru the site yet. I bookmarked it.

Is the 98 the same as the 92? I have a 92 SR5 RHD though, but will be similar in design. I can tell you how to get mine out if your is the same.

I don't know if they are the same or not. I have never seen a RHD If you paste the link below and scroll down to the small pics the one showing the heater/radio panel is like mine. The part I am trying to remove from mine is the brown frame outlining the vents/radio, etc. I had no problem getting the top above the air vents and the clock but am not sure what is holding the sides/bottom in.

Try remove the gear stick suround by gently pulling it up. Then once thats out there should be two screws holding the bottom of the stereo surround. You should be ablr to pull this gently towards you and get it out that way. Im only 80% sure about that so dont force it to much but if theres those two screws at the bottom once the first bits out the rest should come out okay.

I will give that a try. Thks.
