I have a 2010. Have replaced every...single...door...actuator...so far 3 times. What's weird is that when one starts acting up, another happens very shortly after. Makes me wonder if it's just one of them that fails, and something about the failure causes the electric current to stop going to...

Started the write-up thread here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/221340-write-up-replace-5th-gen-factory-jbl-while-retaining-stock-h-u.html#post2391907

Objectives I wanted to replace my factory JBL system while retaining the stock HU and all of its functionality (satellite radio, BT, aux, etc.). In this project, I replaced all factory JBL speakers (including the sub) and added an aftermarket amplifier to power the new speakers. This project is...

Based on discussion in this thread: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/182165-any-interest-writeup-5th-gen-jbl-nav-system-overhaul.html I am posting a write-up for how to replace the stock JBL system in a 5th gen 4R with a new amplifier, speakers and sub, while retaining the stock H/U...

sandcrawler Neauxla Ezlife45 Believe it or not, I'm back. Finished MBA, got married and had to deal with a tumor issue since I've last posted here. But all is well now. I'm going to post a quick read guide later this afternoon, then will build it out as needed.

Thanks sandcrawler! Good news is I already had a big portion of it done, so it shouldn't take me more than a week or so to finish.

Oh and Party Mode isn't as elaborate as everyone seems to think it is. It's just a crossover, removing low frequencies from the back and rear speakers and feeding a stronger low frequency signal (or more gain on the output stage) to the subwoofer. I was able to verify this when I did my project...

Sorry guys, I'm here. I got engaged late last year and things have been unbelievably crazy. Ok, I will definitely do the write-up as there seems to be plenty of interest here. Just to be clear--I retained all stock functionality, keeping HU in place, BT, voice nav...everything. This can be...

I am interested as well; not sure if this thread is still active or not.

Anyone have experience trying to cram 285/55/20 Trail Grapplers on stock 20" wheels? I currently have BFG AT 285/55/20s on stock wheels with no lift, other than adjustable Bilstein 5100s on the maximum lift setting to level the truck. It looks and drives very nice. When the tread was larger...

Good, thanks. I hadn't thought of that.

Hey guys, My sister had me drive her 06 4R today because of a "roaring" noise she described at 35 and 70 MPH. Sure enough, I begin to hear it and feel it in the floorboard. It sounds like an airplane taking off...as the airplane gets faster, the engines roar loader, and it has that same turbine...

This is essentially what I did on a JBL system, except I added a new amp (retaining the old one as well, tho). I'm working on the write-up now; holidays are slowing me down.

Had to have all 4 of mine replaced one after the other in my 2010. Luckily this happened under warranty. Service adviser said he had seen a ton of 4Rs come in with this problem...

Sounds good. I'll get working on it. And I can provide advice if anyone wants to go a cheaper route or change things up. I'll be back soon.
