I have mine on "feel".......like the boosted bass..........

There were 2 fj's "available" at the dealer when I test drove my runner so I drove both the day I decided on the runner. The fj was nice and actually drove better than I thought it would....but the runner was the hands down winner and with the X-REAS it kicks butt. I thought the fj was a nice...

I got mine a from Auto Anything as well a few weeks ago. They just happened to be having a 10% mat sale so I got the full set (front, back, cargo cover) for about $180 shipped. I think the mats are the same for '03-'06.

I have the sport with the grey interior with black seats and I bought the grey husky liners. It doesn't match the Toyota stone exactly, no. I've always tended to find anything on the floor that's black will show dirt, dust and debris a lot more than grey so there was no way I was putting black...

Thanks for the replies. I'm installing mine tomorrow.....I'll let everyone know how it turns out. I know what you mean about the cable. I was able to find the cheapie cable at Radio Shack but I've been looking for a better cable and I can't find one locally. Monster has them on their web...

You know you can run your Iriver through your console accessory port and save yourself the $75+ the PIE unit costs with the '06 Scion HU don't you? I agree with the installing it yourself, it's easy, plus you'll learn everything you ever wanted to know about tearing your dash apart and putting...

I've seen that person over there trying to get that much for a single disk '06. I picked mine up as a buy it now for $140 I think brand new still sealed in the Toyota box with the users manual. For me it was well worth the small amount of money I spent for the sound quality improvement you get...

I've seen both Mothers and Clay Magic at Autozone. I got the Clay Magic kit and was very satisfied with the products and results.

I just picked up a Sirius radio and will be installing it this weekend. What I'm going to do is use an add-a-circuit and run a wire from the fuse box to a 12v accessory outlet that I'll hide behind the dash and plug my sirius into. I've also read that others have used the add-a-circuit and cut...

Ok, so I've upgraded the stock HU in my '06 sport to the '06 Scion single disk model. Now I want to install a plug and play satellite radio system. I've spent the past few days searching through all the threads here and have gotten a lot of useful info (as always) and I feel pretty comfortable...

I think the 2006 was a "major" update year for the 4th generation wasn't it? New bumpers, lower-body cladding, projector headlights, LED tail lights, new steps and roof rack for the Sport models, etc. Can't imagine that 2007 would bring anything other than minor tweaks. I just got my '06 not...

I had Cross Terrains on my Grand Cherokee that I just got rid of when I got my new runner. They performed just as advertised for me: great on-road ride, quiet, high mileage and good on road in poor weather. I didn't take them off road so I can't comment there but would probably agree with...

The model number for the '06 Scion HU with the single disc is the T1807. It's the one with the volume control knob in the center. This is what I installed in my Runner........as for differences between the '05 and '06........other than the volume control knob vs. the push-buttons I don't know...

LOL, that's a very good analogy. They seemed way too soft and "squishy" to me and I always ended up with a stiff and sore back after a trip that lasted any longer than an hour or so.

I have to agree. I plan to upgrade my tires as well when the Dunlops need to be replaced.....and I've added the Scion HU and plan to upgrade my speakers at some point. Don't know if either of those are really considered "mods" or not though. Other than that, my Runner will stay pretty much...
