    what an unbelievable difference! - kappa 3.5 dash speakers

    Static noise I installed the kappas last night and everything went pretty well. I was on my way to work this morning and noticed static on 3 different sports radio stations. There is no popping but the static is annoying. I only seem to really notice on talk radio. Also the sound does not seem...

    This is a Toyota Extra Care Warranty only sold by Toyota dealerships. I have no plans to alter the mechanical aspects of the car.

    Aftermarket Warranty Options if Factory is Expired

    Read the thread, this is in regard to buying a Toyota Platinum Warranty AFTER the factory 3yr/36k has expired. I spoke to Jerry about this and he said he could NOT sell me a warranty. He said after 3yr/36k the warranty has to be purchased locally and will be more expensive. So, unfortunately...

    Aftermarket Warranty Options if Factory is Expired

    I have Toyota of Plano down to $1,695 for the Toyota Extra Care Platinum Warranty. It's good for 5 years/60,000 miles and has a $0 deductable. It covers virtually everything besides brake pads, oil changes, etc (normal upkeep). I'm going to see if I can get the price down a little more and...

    Anyone Hardwire a Radar Detector yet?

    Thanks to this thread I mounted my 9500ix this weekend using the 12" invisicord and the performance package mount that I linked below. I would have used the blendmount, but this one came with the detector I bought. I had to attach it at the skinniest part of the mirror extension and it works...

    Aftermarket Warranty Options if Factory is Expired

    To be clear, I'm only talking about a warranty after the 3yr/36k has expired. You just need to call Troy or Jerry listed in these threads. They will hook you up. They were very helpful to me even though they couldn't sell me a warranty.

    I'm in Dallas. Hoping the Mavs don't let it slip tonight! Here are some pics from the dealer. I plan on taking more after I go on my river trip in a couple weeks. Enjoy for now. I also included two of my FJ40.

    Aftermarket Warranty Options if Factory is Expired

    I've thought about canceling the warranty outright and not getting another one, but I worry about the 4 wheel drive controls and the computer. I had a 2001 4runner sport prior and had no issues until 110k miles. From 110k - 140k I had to reseal the radiator, get a new antenna, fix the radio...

    Aftermarket Warranty Options if Factory is Expired

    Hi guys, I just purchased a used 2010 Trail Edition with 45k miles on it, so the factory warranty is expired. Because of this, I bought a warranty from the Ford stealer I purchased the 4runner from just in case I had to buy it from the dealer. However, I probably overpaid because of this and...

    Hey guys, I picked up a used 2010 4runner Trail a couple weeks ago and found this site helpful in answering initial questions. This is a great forum and I look forward to contributing. Keep up the good work. I went from a 2001 Sport to a 2010 Trail. I picked one up with KDSS and Leather...
