Alpine touch screen “media player” most likely. I have one of those “power packs” I can use with it. But it also means new speakers throughout so may take my time with it (my list is always pretty long for the runner!)

showed in preview... showed after posting... now I can’t see them myself. This thing isn’t loving iPhone pics rn.

Damn! Sorry about that. I’ll try again. I also thought I’d add another scion radio I picked up. Not quite as elaborate as the alpine, but a decent little pioneer and the backlighting changes colors. I’ll try to add both pics here (made them smaller... hopefully that helps). $50 + shipping for...

I bought this alpine unit a while back from a private seller and ran it for a few months. Didn’t want to redo the entire system in my 4th gen and this worked perfectly instead. Now that I’m done with suspension mods and such, I figure it’s time to do a full aftermarket system, so I’ll pass this...

When I was wiring aux reverse lights the other day, I tried to measure to see if one of my 255/75/17 tires would fit in the space location, and it was awfully close... so close I figured I’d just skip it. Glad to hear it worked! I have one tire wearing unevenly after the lift (positive camber)...

Fj+Bilstein etc Ended up with kind of a mix of components so I thought I’d post. Love the way it came out. Front: Moog 81108 with Bilsteins at 1.75, toytec .5” top plate Rear: factory FJ 4x4 springs, bilsteins, 1.5” daystar spacer Tires: 255/75r17 firestone destination A/T on procomp...

Another vote for 1.75, provided the front has settled at least 1” lower than the rear

V6 or v8? Either way, I’d at least start with a good tune up (plugs, air filter, tb cleaning, maf cleaning, ecu reset, check tire pressure, synthetic diff fluids if they’ve never been done, etc)

Here in FL, at least, the 06 and up 4x4s all came at a premium. A budget of $12k was only seeing 4x4s with 150 on the clock. Ended up getting mine (v6, sr5, 4x4, shadow mica, 132k) for $10,800 just a couple months ago And was happy about it (and still am... though I’ve spend a few more $ on her...

Mine was similar... couldn’t find anything loose by hand. Had a shop putting on my fj coils check it out, and after some looking, they determined it was the sway bar end links (worn bushings). They said it isn’t something you can usually feel by hand, but when they gave it a dead blow, there was...

Yes did the drain/refill with a new filter. Odd thing... replaced a cracked vacuum hose and cleaned the throttle body (it was bad) and the problem has subsided a lot. Kind of crazy, but I think the trans wasn’t sure what to do at stops as it was still swing some throttle. I actually did manage...

Resurrection! Mine has been doing this. The truck is pretty new to me and obviously it is a bit unnerving as it seems like a transmission issue, though on the electrical side of things. If I brake hard to a stop, or brake hard while driving, and then step on the gas, tre transmission hunts for...

Question... I bought My 08 v6 4x4 with this rough country lift already installed: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F362421215794 It is supposed to be a 3/2 lift and came with shocks for the rear. The problem is, the rear is sitting just over 2”...

I’m in the same boat. New-to-me 08 SR5 that came with a 3/2 lift installed when I bought it. Looks like a 1” spacer in the rear and a 2” coil spacer up front. However, it still has the full factory rake somehow (about 2” plus difference at the wheel wells). I’m assuming this is because the front...
