I will be installing a stereo in my 98 . . .
Before I get started, I have the single smaller sized stereo in the Runner now.
I will be installing a single din stereo. I understand I need the wiring harness adapter. No problem.
But (again, I havent started yet), will I be bolting in the stereo, or do I have to put in the basket with the stupid bend the tabs out to keep it in place deal? - I hope that makes sense.
Also, I havent been able to find any writeups on the install. What dash parts will I need to pull in the process?
Thx,
Dave

Well I always goto crutchfield.com and see what they have as far as installation supplies for my truck.
What kind (brand) of radio is it? I usually hit up their wweb site and look for installation harnesses and the like.
Not much but I hope this Helps,

I did a writeup for my 97, click here
The only difference is the HVAC knobs, you can just skip those steps.

I havent bought the head unit yet, but Im leaning toward the Kenwood 4022 (I think).
SLC - Thanks for the writeup link.
I realize my HVAC knobs are different, but will I still have to remove that plate to access the screws behind?

As previously stated, the stock L/R brackets work best for after market headunits....you have to get a wiring harness? Are you installing an amp, too? I was able to plug right into the back of my Eclipse stereo, but I have a 2000 Taco, so that may be different.
If you're just mounting the h/u and nothing underneath you can get a Scoche pocket to cover the hole - there are tabs on yout stock brackets that will hold w/o any mods.
BTW, OutKast, I am quite jealous of your avatar.

No you won't need the can with the tabs, or the trim ring. The factory brackets will bolt right up to the new head unit. Head units have the holes on the sides marked with a T-Toyota, N-Nissan and there are a few others that may or maynot be marked brand depending.
If you have the factory pocket in your truck now I would recommend cutting the two small tabs off of the top edge of the pocket that fit into the fatory radio. Metra harness should be a 70-1671, and a Scosche harness will be a TA02B, there both the same just depends on whats avalible to you.

I am not putting in an amp at the moment, but I may in the future.
So, from what can tell from Keisur's comments, I do need to remove the HVAC control knobs and stuff, then pull off that panel face, remove the screws, and pop the front dash piece off, then I can pull the radio.
Ok, so that should work.
Thx,
Dave
