Screw the RDX...man card intact. Quick status update. No more suburban soccer mom SUV (Acura RDX) - see first post of this thread; sold it and bought a Mustang GT 3 months ago. GT 6 speed manual (as God intended) Performance Package: 6 pot Brembo brakes K brace Retuned suspension (stiffer...

To add insult to injury, I just took the 4Runner in for a brake job (front pads + all rotors turned), rear diff fluid change and oil change. I have no problem with the posts; all in good fun. I think most of us lost our balls / minds via marriage and kids.

Surprisingly there is a compartment for a pair of balls in front of the shifter. Mine wouldn't fit so I had to put them in the back. I am seriously thinking about the FABULOUS rainbow sticker on the rear bumper (appropriate for the RDX). The only minor consolations are the 6.2 second 0-60 and...

No good deed goes unpunished. The tale of woe started when I foolishly traded in my wife's 2011 Honda Pilot for a 2014 Acura RDX as a surprise for her birthday. The Pilot was beat to hell for only being 3 years old. It was scraped on both sides (wide SUV in a narrow downtown underground...

Paragon, Where did you order the slotted rotors and pads? I would like to upgrade my brakes as well. Thank you in advance. RK

I get the same smell after driving aggressively. I checked the front and rear wheels and could not isolate anything.

Ironman 4X4 (what?) 2" lift I found out that my 4Runner's driver side rear shock was leaking and my passenger side front strut was leaking at 40K miles. My driver side front was completely blown but was replaced while it was still under warranty. Instead of replacing it with OEM parts and...

I hate nickel and diming so I priced the rims to move quickly. 4 rims and centercap. The TPMS is not included. I finally got new tires / rim / lift kit installed. Local sale (Houston) is preferred but will ship (at your cost) if necessary. They have very minor blemishes on the rims; the rims are...

Thank you. I will be sure to check in with you in the future before making any decisions. Your omniscient knowledge humbles me. I will sacrifice the ballasts to the lumen gods in your honor.

Didn't realize a cheap mod would cause this much reaction! Antman, I right there with you. :snacker:

SL, Got the full sized. Enough room in the engine bay.

After some research, I installed some HID bulbs on the 4Runner this weekend. I dove into other forums and they suggested HIDmasters (HIDmasters) had the best bang for the buck. Apparently, it's the exact same product as DDM's but much cheaper. I bought the basic package (H11's, 6000K with full...

Deka - appreciate the well wishes SB - good to know; thank you. JS - with Houston honored as the "Fattest City" by Men's Health magazine, I don't think it would be all that hard to find some people to sit in the back to level out the 4Runner!

It's been flooding in Houston (they dont' call it the Bayou City for nothing). It looks like this 4Runner owner did not see the ditch...what's the water fording capability of our 4Runners again? I might need to know for my commute home (seriously).
