Unfortunately, I have the V8 and full time 4WD is all I get. Great in the winter, especially in the high-desert Utah snow. I wish I knew that about the VSC a few weeks ago while getting stuck in the mud up at the cabin. I guess we learn something new everyday! Thanks.

I love my '05. Anyone who has ever owned one of the 3.0 V6 2nd gen. Trucks/4Runners is forced to appreciate the V8s (or the V6) in any of the 4th gen. 4Runners - despite what DOT or Toyota claim for HP. There are a few things I don't like about my 05 4Runner. The first few are things I...

Another thought is the Tacoma guys. They run JBL systems as well and have a bit more support. I'll try to find the company when I get home.

Another reason to dislike OEM manufacturers. :D I believe the size on the JBL is physically larger than that of the standard Double Din openings. When I put in my new HU, an Eclipse Double Din, I had to use an adapter to make the opening fit flush with everything else. It has been a while...

You will need two wiring harnesses to get a Scion HU to work in a JBL equipped 4Runner. This harness will allow you to plug in the OEM JBL harness into the little black box. The device utilizes the stock JBL system with the new HU. Axxess TYTO-01 (tyto01) Wirinig Harness for select 2003-2008...

I had been following your thread on Pirate forever. Any updates on the 4Mogger?

Not to rehash what I've said previously but you should just pay the ticket and be grateful you didn't spend a night in the slammer. A lawyer is going to cost you as much as a ticket. If you learned your lesson, you won't be getting another ticket for something like this and your DL won't be in...

Maybe but driving skills aren't amplified by arrogance. I love the irony in justifying speeding. Deer don't "talk on their phone, drink hot coffee, text, read email, read the newspaper, do their makeup" when they are jumping out in front of you. Yeah, and the faster you're going, the higher...

They look good. I bought mine to keep my boy from destoying my rear seat and two years later, the rear seats still look new. I opted for the map pockets. They look pretty cool but so far, I haven't used them for much. Either way, when I need them, they'll be there.

+1 Insurance will stick it to you either way. Get out from under it while you still can.

OOhh...Devil's advocate time. :D The biggest complaint - which subsequently leads to a bad JD rating, was poor gas mileage. That doesn't vindicate the poor build quality but JD rates complaints the same, whether or not it has to do with someone whining about the MPGs they put out. In...

Were these pictures taken to remember the Cherokee after it was gone or because there was snow in Arizona? :D

Slow and noisy are ok when you only drive 5 miles a day. :)

Yeah, a bunch. I'm sort of a car whore. I buy something...fall in love with it...hit up/contribute to its respective forums/local clubs and chapters...start modding...buy something else... Unfortunately, once I sell something, I can't ever let go. Fortunately, there are plenty of car guys...

'95 Bronco. Better engine than the '96, top comes off and easy to work on while being not full-size truck size '95-96 Toyota FJ80 or the Lexus LX450. I'm a Toyota guy at heart and the solid axle (with lockers) is awesome. Reliable and new enough to offer great creature comforts. H3. I'll get...
