I have it holding an Alpine PDX900. Works fine, plenty of room. It is actually flimsier than I though it would be, but gets the job done and does a nice job of hiding the wiring keeping things clean.

Go back in this thread to last August or so, there are some good options without going all high end. You can add a 5 channel amp, all new speakers and use that sub for under $1000 easy. Throw some sound deadening in when you do the speaker replacement and you are golden. Lots of amps have...

Unfortunately, the OP's situation is exactly why dealers try this crap. They'll sometimes find someone who just doesn't want to deal with it. Puts profit in their pocket and on to the next. It's the same thing with scammers, you try enough people, and someone will eventually send you $100 for...

No joke, my wife's A4 would just lose the radio for no reason. If you were driving at night with the lights on, use the blinkers at your own risk, that usually ended the radio for the trip. Of course, sometimes opening the sunroof would fix it. No lie on any of this, these were the...

The 5.8 was pretty bulletproof, so was the 5.4. Turbos do not have the longevity that we expect and demand with our Toyotas. Those bearings will wear out, and it'll happen before many of us are ready to be spending that kind of money on repairs. This may not matter to the original owner, but...

It can be done without digging into the hatch. If you run new wires to the rear doors, you can splice the pos / neg terminals in the door together and get a solid run from the HU to the rear hatch. Tie these together and you have 2ohm to the amp. I would NOT do this unless you are adding an...

Another thing to think about, you've presumably taken a $6k hit on the Limited already. If you drive it for another 5-6 months, I doubt that # would change at all. You are pretty low mileage, which doesn't help matters in that they have to discount it below what they are selling new 18s for...

As a devils advocate here, I just finished a work trip where I rented an Ecoboost Expedition. That little V6 had some serious snap, especially right off the line. Now the throttle mapping was VERY aggressive, and if you really laid into it, was not much different than say, 1/2 way laying into...

Maadcaap Do you have any drawings of the brackets you had cut? I can get them laser cut for nothing at my wife's work, but I'd need to draw up the dimensions of what I wan. Might save me some time if you have already done this work.

Keyser and I disagree with this, the stock speakers suck something horrible, I think there is a bigger magnet in the speaker on my cell phone. I did my fronts first, and while driving you don't really notice the rears, but after the change, it did fill out the truck much better (maybe this...

It'll be cheaper to keep her, but if you want a new one, go for it. I'd try to find one without the XP package, they mark up all the things they add for that a LOT. You can add the accessories you want and leave the others off for much less money. You can almost get into a Off Road Premium...

Except in states that charge you 7% AVT on car purchases. It's charged on "net" so if you sell on your own, you need to get 7% more to break even.

Seriously, that's a family friend of the GM and some special Toyota discount (Military, recent graduate) price right there.

Eco Bar turns off above about 87mph. Also, I leave it on the little truck icon, it isn't displayed with that.

Been a while since this thread was posted on, so I thought I'd provide an update after driving in to work and really appreciating the upgrade. I did the JL C2s all around, 6.5 components up front and 6.5 coax in all 4 rear locations. I have to say, it sounds pretty darn good. Only negative is...
