I was thinking the same, but i already returned the new one, so no go on that. plus for an extra $100+ i can have a new rebuilt one. so i just went with that option. I have 270k on it, trying to get this thing to over 400k before giving up on her.

what gear ratio am I suppose to pick? I checked the other threads but still unclear

800 isn't bad for a newly rebuild one. salvage yard charged me $500 and another wanted $650 but dont know if its for 4wd or 2wd. thanks for the help.

ah, ok i see now. yes mine is a 2wd and the other came off a 4wd. looks like i might need to drive back 3hrs to return it. I specifically asked if the 4wd was the same as the 2wd and they said yes. may i ask how much did you pay for the new one? Did you have to pay for the return shipping...

so theres been a whining sound coming from the rear of my 4runner. at first i though it was my rear wheel bearings. Took it to a friend since i dont have the space to work on my car. he worked on it and come to find out it was my 3rd member. I set out on a mission to go find a used one at...

hey guys can you help me out with this sound. I though it was the fan clutch at first but further inspecting it sound like like it coming from the alternator area. everthing runs ok except when i'm hitting the 25-30 mph area, then it run a little rough till I pass that speed. Don't know if...

I stand corrected. All the models from different companies people were talking about, was the lower end models. decend price on a solid unit. Never used it, but it has all the bells and whistle and its the NEX line. If you really want, I would try to talk in down some more, and make sure it...

If your looking for a barebone DD with rear camera capabilities and BT, then get the 270bt. But if you want more features for just a fraction more (ebay). Then go for the 2700bs. Pandora, sirus ready, Mirrorlink, 4v preout, and a pretty good processor, if your a stereo enthusiast. I would...

Mirror link is trash, from all make and models. You need a third party app on your phone to run mirror link and the whole thi,g is glitch and doesn't work well. Get the pioneer 270bt, it has all the basic features without all the bells and whistle from the xx700 series. If you really want...

Are the new MS better than the old version? I remember the old version didn't do to well in the rain, when they were on my old Tacomo. But that might be because there was no weight in the back. Had good tread life though. Right now I'm on the fence with the Cooper Discover at3 and the...

Bump. Need tires sooner than expected. Gonna need my shop to order today or tomorrow for the install on monday. Road noise and traction is priority. Was gonna go with the Lts m/s2. But I remembered having the the older m/s on my taco, and when it was wet, I had to becarefull with acceleration.

Congrats on graduating! Where are planning to mount everyting? Is this Jbl or non Jbl? If you have an after market HU, then it good. you need the rca outputs to run an amp. I thinking your gonna spend around $400 for everything. amp: West Coast Customs WCC1600.4 1600W 4-Channel WCC...

^ dont' listen to this guy, MB quart are not german anymore and just an ok budget brand now. Whats you budget for everything, amps, speakers, subs, HU, and install material. Also do the install yourself if you can, its not that hard. Or get someone that knows what they are doing, if you have...

well you get my drift. Was just informing the people that didn't know and are afraid of over powering their speakers. Most good companies conservatively rate their speakers. Now you get the crap you by at autozone and walmart, they OVER rate all their products.

I think those Jbl's only come in 2ohm only, not to sure though. I wished more companies would use 2ohm for speakers. The power rating that they show is misleading. Notice the it puts out 220watts at 14.4 volts, then theres 150watts at 12.6.v. Stock alts put out 14.4 volts but by the time it...
