just stumbled on this old thread and figured I'd chime in just for posterity, since I"m towing an e30 325e race car on a 1500lb open-deck trailer (with electric brakes) this weekend 4 hours to the track. Anyhow, last month pulled a 77 e21 (about 2400lbs + a spare set of wheels) back from...

EDIT: Pending payment from Carl. SOLD. I've gotten four emails on this so far, so price is firm since I apparently priced it low :) Also, it does include the iPod cable I believe, but will double-check. Everything works perfectly (radio, CD, ipod controller, etc). Order of dibs: 1. Carl 2...

EDIT: SOLD! I have the Scion Pioneer OEM deck with the iPod controller for sale. It is plug and play with OEM 4Runner wiring (at least the 4th generation, not sure about earlier models). Sound is a bit better than the base 4Runner deck, and it has the iPod controller integrated, which is nice...

awesome, thanks! I must have missed the slip-joint fittings because they were rotated on top and I was under the car on my back.

I can see the Zerk fittings for the driveshaft ujoints, but figured there would also be one for the slip-joint (which I suspect is the cause of an intermittent driveline "clunk" when leaving stoplights). I don't see one anyplace - anyone know if there is one - There should be grease in there...

Sold sold sold

ugh... though I'm not going to throw any stones on that, as my last SUV was a lifted XJ that I never once got to wheel in any real terrain (there's noplace to do it around here, and I didn't trust it to go 3 hours to the mountains). That said, I bought it as a rusty, crappy POS as a favor to a...

lol yeah...but I don't think so in this case. Having worked in construction/home renovation I know how banged up your vehicles get, how dirty they get, and how full of crap/junk/trash/tools they get. This guy's rig was spotless, not a scratch or ding anywhere on it. It was pretty impressive...

really? why is this needed? on the beach near hatteras the other day loaded up to go home. The dog gets first shift driving... unloading at home sucks this is how you pack when you're driving to Hatteras from Michigan for a week at the beach... simply badass....at the surf break...

how would you say the handling is with the A/T KO's compared to the stock Dunlops? I've had them on my old XJ, but that thing handled like crap, so it's hard to make a comparison.

$300 for a stock stereo? :eek:

was blacking out the badges on the T4R and recalled that I still had lettering from a recent debadge of a buddy's Titan. Wonder if my wife would notice (the T4R is her daily driver) or how many odd looks she would get....

It's fine, the only problem we've had was a burst water coolant hose while out in the middle of the bay (doh). It came on the boat. That said, it's a pretty heavy boat and I'd like a bit more power...the 225 gets it up on plane, but not with much authority. I'd much prefer a pair of lightweight...

oh yeah? Where you at?

word...road trip to OBX swiming in the tidepools...he's a bit small for the real surf
