thanks for the reply! i get the feeling this sub forum isnt frequented as much as some of the other ones ;) at any rate, i ended up getting toyota pads, powerslot rotors, and bilstein struts. havent installed the rotors or pads yet (still waiting for the rotors in the mail) but decided to do...

you guys are the experts! im about to replace my brake pads, rotors, and struts (all only on the front, not touching anything in the rear) on my 2002 sport edition 4runner. my buddy gets a 20% discount on parts at the local toyota dealership. i called toyota today and these are the prices they...

its nothing to worry about. very moist air, thats all

i have a 2002 sport edition. i have a PS2, dvd player, and navigation in mine. The headrests are terrible for installing tv's, esp 7" ones. the headrests are way too small. i had to replace my headrests. these are myron and davis screens.

which is exactly why im just shaking my head in shame, and laughing at the same time that this guy is gonna go out and buy a soldering iron, flux, solder, etc. and learn to solder (when he cant even crimp) JUST to fix a remote turn on wire. LOL! dont forget to use heat shrink on that bad boy...

haha, so you think your crimp tool is the problem, so your just going to resort to an even more complicated and more expensive solution? soldering? get a real crimp tool! thats 100% of the problem. those cheap crimpers you get at radio shack SUCK. and i think i remember you mentioning pliers -...

yea, what he said.

haha, thats a bad example. we are talking about an easy to access remote turn on wire here with no stress on it. not a clutch. i think your comparing apples and oranges. i used crimp connectors for 5 years and never had any problems. i still use them. you make them sound as if its "rolling the...

man, you guys are killin the poor guy. i was a custom installer at auto sound electronics in springfield va for 5 years... you dont need to solder the wires of the remote turn on, and you sure dont need shrink tubing (we arent reconnecting wires under your hood here, or in any place where they...

i did install everything in my truck myself. however, i did not fabricate the headrests and cut into them. a company called Myron & Davis makes the tv's prefabbed into the headrest. i bought them like that, then replaced my stock headrests and wired them up to the headunit. i would have bought...

i use the GPS all the time. but then again, i travel a whole lot. thats just me though, you may not even need GPS living your lifestyle. its just something you have to evaluate :) im always going on roadtrips to ski resorts in the winter with my buddies, and always going to beaches and other...

what do you mean by "the logos wont line up"? i thought you took out the old guage faces and installed the new ones in place of them. do you install them "over" the old ones, and thats what you mean by it wont line up? or are the numbers slightly off position so that the needle is slightly...

thats great and all, but you should think about putting some accessories on your truck. you dont have any accessories.

yes, i just had the recall performed on my 02 sport edition 4runner last month. ball joint of some sort. it was free. do it. you know you want to
