I would not get the JBL system from the factory. Much better audio equipment is available to you on the aftermarket at very similar (or even less) pricing. Factory audio just does not compare.

Please post installed pics if you decide to go with them. The picture looks awesome. I may have to break down and get them now. Appreciate the link very much...

Thumbs Up To XREAS Drove both pretty hard and big difference for me. Glad I got it and would recommend it to anyone who drives fairly aggressively - especially in the corners.

I don't think I have the breakdown by item any more, but it is as simple as getting invoice pricing and adding it all up. I purchased a report (for $12 I think) from Consumer Reports, but there are many services out there that list invoice pricing. I also took into consideration that the...

I ran her around 75 most of the way back from the mountains this past weekend with no noticeable noises of any kind. Very smooth sailing. Definitely no vibrations.

Thanks for the props on the truck. Total price was just over $32K out the door, and that included tax, tags doc fees etc. They list the leather (sticker price) at around $1100, but I think the actual cost to have it done was in the $800-$900 range. Dealer had it put in, but it is all Toyota...

Damn Vinnie, you have great eyes. It looks a lot better uncovered...!

Thanks guys. And thanks again for all your helpful insight. I actually got the Harley hitch plate online, but don't remember the exact store/website. It was around $30, minus the pin. A Yahoo or Google search should quickly find you one, as it did me. And the Harley...

Just picked up my new '04 Sport V8 this weekend. I put some pics below. I wanted to thank everyone on this board for helping me make informed decisions. What a great help everyone's comments and input have been. You guys (and gals) are the best! Options include leather interior, side...

And my baby...

Just got my new '04 Sport this weekend and absolutely love it! Lots of great tips and info from this board helped me immensely - what a huge amount of help/education this forum has been. I put pics of it in the "gallery" section. Below are a couple of my other rides...
