    Removable JBL Speaker - Smash and Grab

    I'd also be concerned about how hot the battery is going to get baking in the sun in the south in the summer months. Can't be good! Seems like an unnecessary fire risk. Or perhaps they have a note in their owners manual to remove it on a hot day.

    Costco Interstate batteries(24f)

    I've heard that the Costco Interstate batteries are of lower quality than those sold by other Instate dealers. Plus, if you do have a failure, you can only warranty those through Costco whereas if you buy through an Interstate dealer any warranty issues will be covered by any Interstate dealer...

    Oil Change Interval Poll

    I changed the oil on my '24 for the first time at 1250 miles. Was kind of surprise how black it was. I'll do it again at 5k miles and 5k after that. Most of my driving is city driving so a lot of stop and go and way too much sitting in traffic. Not ideal conditions for oil longevity.

    Valvomax?

    I did my first oil change on my '24 last weekend. Replaced the factory plug with the ValvoMax. First off I discovered that my plug was installed without a crush washer. Also, the factory plug was not magnetic. I'm not worried about not having a magnetic plug, particularly since you can lay...

    Tahara Assembly Plant Video

    Cool video. It's crazy how three different rigs are being made at any given moment. I knew all three came from there, but I had figured that they would run one or another any given day, not a mix. Crazy impressive!

    How much are people paying for the NEW 4Runner?

    It seems like most dealers in SoCal were willing to sell for TRD ORP's they had on the lot for $2-3K below MSRP. If you are looking for a unicorn (something very specific) like I was then you're stuck with MSRP. I didn't mind paying a little extra to get exactly what I wanted because I...

    Anyone know of any companies offering Fluid Film coating or something similar is southern California? Fortunately they don't use salt on the roads here but it's still a good idea to have done to maximize the life of your rig.
