    Weathertech experience! Awesome and disappointing.

    OK, got my RMA# for the small one and the correct one on the way! Again, it was because of the bug in the package wizard, buying it separate worked OK. At any rate they have 3 models for late model 4th gens (part numbers may be for gray only): For Double Decker setups: A small mat that sits...

    Weathertech experience! Awesome and disappointing.

    That's an outstanding idea! They do issue RMA#'s via the phone, so it probably won't hurt to talk them up a bit :) I've heard their customer service is really good too, so this should be reasonably pleasant. I should have taken notice that the image and part# didn't jive with what I thought...

    Weathertech experience! Awesome and disappointing.

    Yeah, it looks like there's a little bug in their order system - I actually noticed something odd about the part#'s and walked back through it again (FWIW, I'm a developer so I'm reasonbly astute with web interfaces). Anyway, when you're viewing the cargo mats as a seperate item (not in a...

    Weathertech experience! Awesome and disappointing.

    Howdy Folks! Ordered a full set of Weathertech floor liners (liners not the mats)! Took a little less than 2 weeks to arrive, ordered them diretly from WT. The front and rear arrived in a flat blox, the rear cargo liner arrived a day later rolled in a box. The front/rear liners are awesome...

    Whats the Quietest Exhaust for SR5 v8 4runner

    OEM I'm sure. Are you asking what's the quietest aftermarket setup, then it's probably not worth the hassle because the performance gains are so minimal. I've never seen this confirmed via a dyno of a T4R V8 but I've done a significant amount of dyno/tuning time with higher performance cars...

    Do you like the non-functioning hood scoop?

    If it would have been an option for our Limited, I would have likely gotten it. I think it's a neat design touch (that you don't see on many trucks/SUVs) that adds a little character.

    LED Tail lights

    Just a side note: the LED tail-lights on our '08 are THE brightest I have ever seen! I had the wife step on the brakes and looked directly into them and they pretty much burned out my retinas...

    New V8 4WD Limited is home!

    The NAV system is outstanding! It might not be aftermarket level, but it's better than several other OEM systems I'm familiar with. We hadn't used the guide/route assistance yet - totally dig on how it splits the screen and shows visual cues at major intersections (and it went into 2.5D mode...

    New V8 4WD Limited is home!

    Did a quick rinse off from the past week (and the rainy beach trip), and wipe down (so it's not _super_ detailed), but I thought these pics in the sun was better at showing Shadow Mica!

    painting/powder coating wheels

    They will have/want to dis/re-mount the tire since you want contiguous PC over the entire surface of the wheel. Plus when they bake them, I don't think they'd want to leave the tire on. $100/wheel is a reasonable price and pretty standard. There's a company in FL doing $65/wheel, but I have...

    New V8 4WD Limited is home!

    I was a little blown away by the saturation of color particles in the paint. Very cool. Yeah, I have to readjust my offroad expectations as the T4R > X5 in that capacity, I kind of like it both ways - the chrome gives it a little extra contrast (and would match al the badges), but the body...

    New V8 4WD Limited is home!

    Your pics gave us something to look at over the last week :) I think it's an upgraded hitch, like a Class IV - it was part of their package and probably not needed, but all their cars seem to have it. Here's a quick-e of the front (sorry about the slight off square rotation:

    New V8 4WD Limited is home!

    Did a coat of Z5 (I'll do Z2 layer next, then lather, rinse, repeat :D ). Got it in just before it rained! (so zero water spots). We also had our first off road experience in the new ride! Headed down to the point (corner of the intracoastal/ocean), had the Nikon with us so it seemed like a...

    New V8 4WD Limited is home!

    Thanks Folks! Read through the users manual this morning (even if everything is pretty intuitive, there's usually a few do-dads that are hidden). I burned a MP3 CD (just dragged over the folders) - works great!! I was a _tiny_ bit bummed it didn't have the factory installed IPOD interface...

    New V8 4WD Limited is home!

    VERY nice ride, easily as nice as the X5 (which for reference was a 4.4i Sport Package). The Shadow Mica color is off the chart! Glad we went with "stone" leather on the interior - works really nice with the silver/black-wood trim. The wheels are actually like a light graphite, almost like...
