Did you ever find out what the problem was? I am having a similar issue with my front speakers, but I DO NOT have JBL system.. and where the amp looks to be in JBL systems, I have empty storage. When we test my front speakers they arent even getting power from the HU (new pioneer avh-x2800bs)...

Thank you!! Since it is happening to both front speakers, is there one spot this can be happening in the wires.. or is it more likely to be happening in two separate instances at the same time?

Thanks for the suggestions y'all! Going to look in my area for detailers There are a few Toyota dealerships around me; maybe I can shop the price around them.

Thank you!

That'd be a great option if I had 4WD and better tires ;)

Hello All, My Shadow mica 2007 4runner has been through alot since high school, college, and starting my adult life. One pet peeve of mine is that the doors and hood have amassed scratches from various origins. I have read alot about resprays but most articles were from owners looking to...

The speakers are stock. I was thinking of getting new speakers as well but that is alt of work for me to start researching. (I research products for weeks before buying them lol) Is there anything about wiring that could make certain settings on the HU unavailable? When the unit was set up I...

Hello everyone! I originally picked up my 2007 SR5 with non-jbl stock radio and speakers before college, and replaced the stock HU with an Alpine deck. During college the radio was stolen and I put the stock HU back in. Recently my front speakers started going out. First the the FR, then...

I checked out the first 3-4 links you provided N8, and to be honest I don't think any of that is really in my wheelhouse.... I can watercool a PC but show me car parts and I become completely dumbfounded lol

It's funny you say that because the AAA contractor who brought out my new battery said the same thing about general retail mechanics. He also highly recommended a specific local Firestone to go to, and he warned me of two other ones in my area to stay away from. I dont feel exactly comfortable...

I also had AAA out recently to replace a warrantied battery, and in 1.5yrs time it had corroded over with blue dust, indicative of sulfur yea? Well apparently someone who had worked on the car previously, had probably washed that area down with water, spreading the blue dust to tons of...

Thank you soo much for all this invaluable info! I contacted Firestone and explained in 90k miles the only maintenance that'd been done was on tires (rotation, alignment, balancing), oil changes, and battery swaps... they quoted me about $450 for the following: -oil change -tranny maintenance...

I am trying to avoid going in blind on price expectation by seeing what other members have paid for similar maintenance... I have a standing appointment at Firestone tomorrow to see what they say, and like I said in my OP I do not necessarily trust my local dealership.... but either way I'm just...

Oh Ok, it's the V6 model

Hey T4R folk.. long time lurker here... I'm just coming up on 100k on my 2007 4Runner SR5 and I had a question about maintenance. I've never done more than oil changes and tire rotation and I was wondering what is typical maintenance to perform around 90k-100k. I usually go to Firestone but I'd...
