Hey Aquasport, thanks a lot for the confirmation, the picture and also for that detailed summary - I'll make my own sketch based on your description; it's cool to be able to put all this information together in my head. Thanks a ton for taking the time to respond and giving me that useful...

Interesting, I didn't know that but it does make sense. I will take a look into it, it's just a matter of if I want a stopgap to not deal with the excessive wires hanging out of the cassette deck until I install a new head unit. Thanks for the information!

Great points you raised about the backup camera and the microphone. I had planned to do both eventually, and good to know they play well with the Sony headunit you mentioned, so I might as well plan for all three at the same time. I will add this to my list - thanks for the update, that was very...

This is awesome information, thank you so much. Exactly what I was looking for in terms of the exhaust. Good to know that the factory Y-pipe is not the most efficient, to put it lightly if I catch your context from above. So a pretty dumb question, but I am going to ask anyway, if the headers...

Excellent! Thanks for the follow up. I will check into the updates and send you a PM if any questions, just need some time to sort through stuff and make some strategic decisions on what to do when.

Perfect. I really appreciate everyone's help and friendly/honest input on my rather vague question. I visited a local performance garage this weekend on the recommendation from my trusted mechanic. Going to go for a Magnaflow exhaust for sure and possibly the K&N CAI for the 04 V8. The guy at...

Thank you for the tip, Bluesky. I had no idea, I will set up the build thread directory and have a look!

Great information, and thanks a lot, rdruss!

Man that picture is great - nice ride! :hatsoff:

Hey Importman, thanks for all your suggestions and feedback, much appreciated! A few comments to your post: I will call and ask my insurance agent again, but I am 99% sure she said it was lift that would cause insurance issues. She checked with the underwriter and he cleared the aftermarket...

Hey RDRUSS, out of curiosity, do you think an aftermarket CAI for my 4Runner is potentially worth it? I am wondering if the change of filter size (assuming a larger one in the aftermarket CAI) and type (oiled vs dry which I believe the OEM filter is) might make a noticeable difference?

Thanks for the input! I think you're referring to the all black TRD pro wheels with the red badge? If so, yes I completely agree. They are actually on my list of considerations if I can get a set at a decent price. I think you're spot on with "They look aftermarket without looking aftermarket."...

Thanks a lot for your input! This is exactly the kind of advice I was looking for. I had also wondered if the snorkel might act as a CAI, and thanks to your input, it seems that it does, or at least has a similar effect. Something for me to consider. Like you, I am also concerned with...

Hey Folks, I am the proud new owner of an '04 Limited V8 with about a quarter million miles on it. Can't tell from the exterior, though, as it was garage kept by the original owner. My 4Runner is all stock and I am debating on what I want to do in terms of aftermarket mods after I have my...

Thanks a lot for the explanation, what you wrote makes sense. I definitely will consider this mod and also cutting off the resonator. Great to know it has lasted 18 months with no issues and almost no corrosion. I appreciate you taking the time to explain the resonator mod and giving me your...
