    Factory JBL sub enclosure help

    After doing some research and reading several related threads, I decided to ditch the OEM JBL sub and replace it with a JL8W3. My overall concern was would the sub fit behind the factory JBL panel. I recently blew a dash speaker and already had an Alpine headunit so I decided to replace all the...

    I JUST missed Apple Carplay...

    That is true. I require XM and had to forego the wireless CarPlay. It really isn't a big deal to plug in as it also charges as well. You can't go wrong with either.

    ^This If you want Sirius XM you have to go with the ILX-207. Combine either with a Maestro and you won’t regret it.

    I JUST missed Apple Carplay...

    Because using a phone while driving in some municipalities and states is illegal. Allowing a text message to be read to you, reply and send all why touching anything and never taking you eyes off the road is much more preferable to those drivers swerving from lane to lane. Also integrating nav...

    CarPlay runs from your iPhone. The headunit is essentially an extended monitor. It is not software driven by the oem headunit. Liklyhood of a manufacturer update interfering would be very slim

    I JUST missed Apple Carplay...

    I have had an aftermarket audio system in just about every vehicle I have had. When I got my 2018 LE I was pretty satisfied with the audio and bluetooth so I told myself I would not touch this one. Fast forward 10 months later and a spur of the moment trip to Florida and we rented an Audi Q7...

    Canvasback Cargo Liner

    I ordered last week based on this thread. All black with side liners and bumper cover. I also got the cut outs in the side liner for the storage pockets and subwoofer. I really want to protect the rear when going camping and hauling stuff. If it works out we will get one for the wifes CRV as well.

    5th Gen Bumper cover issue (possible resolution)

    Did you name your 4Runner? What is it?

    My daughter has named my 4Runner. Since I have a Limited and did not like the only two parts that had the faux wood, I covered the passenger piece in a black ash vinyl and charged the shift knob to a TRD. All black interior now. Hence the name she gave it “The Executive Mr. Blackwood”. She is 8

    2017 TRD Offroad airfilter installed wrong from factory/dealer

    Ok. I think you might be over reacting. It takes more than 12k miles to damage cylinder walls unless a bucket of material is dumped directly into the motor. How was air filter installed wrong. An explanation and pics would really help.

    2018 with gunmental glove box trim spider-cracking?

    In order to wrap the part properly, you need to remove the center section. It really is not that hard at all. To ensure the wrap lasts, wrapping around the edges and folding over the sides and ends is a must. The link for the vinyl is below. The 24" x 49" is the smallest piece that will work as...

    2018 with gunmental glove box trim spider-cracking?

    I was pretty disenchanted with the faux wood in my Limited. The only place the faux wood was located was shift knob and the passenger dash trim. I did not like it from the min I saw it. So, I covered it with black ash wood grain vinyl. I also replaced the shift knob with the TRD variety. Much...
