Oh, 2005 Limited.

What is the real reason that Toyota does not recommend using the latch system in the center seat? Is it because you cannot use the 60/40 split seats if using the center? I have been using the center with the latch system for our rear facing infant carseat, and want to do the same with our new...

I would like to add remote start to my 2005 4Runner Limited, but I wanted to check with you guys first. Would the 791XV work? I don't want to foul up any of the electronics in the vehicle, and I'm not sure if there are compatibility issues. I'm sure the installers at Best Buy would ensure me...

Here are some more pics. Had the top off today, not bad. Ben

Yes, it's turbo. 7MGTE.

It's not really that slow, but it's not fast enough! Once I install the downpipe and test pipe, it should be a world of difference. Ben

Here's the MK3 I picked up, sitting on some GTC01's. She's slow, but I'm hoping my quick mod plan will wake her up. Here's the info so far: 1. Previous owner kept it stock (older guy, 50ish). 2. 160k miles 3. Rear end was chattering, so I changed the diff fluid with LSD additive. Chatter is...

I tried explaining to her that with the decline of the 4Runner's trade in value, it is in my best interest to run it til it dies. If by driving the Supra 5k per year buys me 2 or 3 extra years of 4Runner use, that saves me 2 or 3 years of potential new car payment. It's opportunity cost...

Here is one from the seller with the winter rims on it. Ben

I'll post some once I get it. The wife isn't too happy about this though. Even though I've talked the guy down to the KBB value range. I think it's a steal, plus it will make the 4Runner last that much longer. I guess women don't think with the same logic...they only see the immediate...

Barn burner?

So this Saturday I'm going to look at an 89 Supra Turbo! I've wanted one since I was a kid, and was just reintroduced to them. Surprisingly, for a 20 year old car, they look great. The one I'm getting has 160k on the clock, but the owner has maintained this thing beautifully! I plan on...

I still don't see any legit feedback... Ben

Is this for real? And if so, will it work on our V8 4Runners? Thoughts? http://www.runyourcarwithwater.com/ Ben

I find myself looking for more reasons to use it. Anyone have any ideas? Can I strap the mother-in-law to it? Ben
