Trying to get rid of all the chrome on my 4runner. I hate it. Looking for: - black grill - black rear door piece (don't know what it's called, but the one above the license plate) - black door handles - sport running boards I would also be appreciative of part numbers of any of these so I don't...

Does anyone have any experience with Mamba rims? They have some at tirerack.com and I think they look pretty sweet but am worried they might look a little too flashy (in the process of blacking out my truck but don't like 100% black rims) I'm thinking of the M2 or M3 18x9" heavily leaning...

no problem. the adapter is just a cable and is plug and play. it couldn't be any easier. i got focal 165KF 6.5 components in the front and focal access 6.5 2-ways in the rear. i don't think there are any online authorized focal dealers. you can get them at woofersetc.com but they won't come...

Re: iPod interface the iPod interface works perfectly. It is as fast as the iPod itself. This link can show how it works and looks better than I can. Alpine iPod microsite. The site doesn't show it but it can show the track info on two lines if you want. I guess there are 2 things I could...

thanks, the lighting sucks but here is a pic of the entire dash: I got an audison amp and focal speakers for the front and rear and it sounds amazing. If you have an iPod I highly recommend this hu. I can get to any of over 8000 songs with ease.

Crutchfield supplied a harness that had all the wires lined up for the factory harness, all I had to do was splice them to the matching wires on the HU. I don't know exactly which wire on the car is the illumination, but it is orange on the HU. I plugged that harness into the factory one and...

All I got was the radio, the PAC SWI-ALP, and the iPod cable, the same stuff the guy from Crutchfield said. They included for free the wiring harness, the dash kit, and very detailed instructions for connecting the wires and taking apart the dash. The only things I had to buy to finish the...

Alpine 9857 HU First off, thanks to all the people on this forum. I read a lot of posts about different hu's, and after a lot of thought I decided to get the Alpine 9857 over any double din because none of them had everything I wanted and if I'm gonna spend $2k on a headunit it better do more...

Thanks for the help, I decided not to risk it and am trying to get a custom box made that won't take up any space. This guy's reserve price is $50 and nobody has bid on it so if anybody is in need of a new stock JBL amp/sub, this might be a good deal

its advertised as being the actual sub and amp for the JBL system on a 4runner, no year mentioned. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=190030357784&ih=009&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT I'm just curious if there is anything in the rear quarter panel on a non-JBL...

I just traded in my BMW for an 06 SR5 4WD for more versatility and love it so far except for the stereo. I couldn't find the answer to this anywhere on the forum: Somebody is selling this on Ebay. My 4runner doesn't have JBL, would this still fit in the rear panel? I want to replace the sub...
