This isn't going to help you much, but the head unit you are swapping in should have a wire to trigger the power antenna. I would check the web for more information in that direction. Now, i can say I ditched the power antenna many moons ago and changed over to the Taco whip, less headache and...

I'm not sure what model Compustar I have, it was installed 8 years ago when FutureShop still existed in Canada. When my system was installed, they placed the antenna in the top part of the driver side windshield. I was a little pissed at first, but man. I can start\arm\disarm my truck from a...

03 is first model year, might I suggest 05 and up. VVTI engine and a few more "better" cosmetic tweaks (projectors might be 06). I mean the choice is yours and obvious get what you can afford.

Ouch, looks like you lost that exchange. Its always sad to see a 3rd gen like that. Hope everyone involved is ok.

Did you just get sad yesterday? Sometimes people are mean.

Couple things I noticed after installing a lift on my 4runner. 1. Upper control arms are necessary to get the alignment right. Dont spend big money on tires just to have them wear out on the outer edge quicker than normal. 2. Depending on how old your CVs are, then are going to leak grease and...

Depends if you have aftermarket CV's in there already. Mine was 36mm with NAPA CVs. Lucky the local tool shop has a no questions asked return policy so i didn't have to spend $15 on a socket that didn't work. Also to add to the previous question, when i did my CVs the nut was finger tight. When...

When you really don't want to do a job, bid high. If the person bites, then why not do it. From my experiences, dealers don't like working on older vehicals anymore. Nice clean warranty work is all they want to do. The prices might also seem high because they are priced seperate, the package to...

With more lift comes more parts to replace. Im going through this right now by replacing my CV axles and installing new All-Pro Upper control arms to fix alignment issues. Also lower balljoints becausing having my tire fall off in traffic is not something i want to experience. I have the Toytec...

So, with the website showing everything as Out of Stock, how does that work?

Changed my spark plugs, which they almost look like the original factory plugs if they weren't all NGKs. I can tell by the Seat of the Pants dyno I gained some HP and smoothness. Also tried a quality of life adjustment. I removed the passenger side swaybar link. After the lift my truck was...

Another bangbros film maker huh?

I find that only way your going to get any traction with the dealer honoring the warrenty is to take it to the next level. Sounds like you bought it from an actual Toyota Dealership. It might not get you anywhere, but try calling Toyota Corporate and ask about the dealers standing, then explain...

I was going by the information I found here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/136498-pre-purchase-info-modifications-write-ups-quick-links-faqs.html which states the following From my findings and comparing models locally, I have to agree that projectors start on 2006 models. You are...

You can do anything if your willing to through money at it. Don't let one semi-negative internet comment stop you, or him from doing whatever he wants to his vehicle. Look to see if there is an air ride system for his car. Check and see if they make adjustable coilovers for the front and airbags...
