Cool! Paypal info sent.

Yes, this does fit the 4runner. I had it installed in my 5th gen. You just need an hex head thread plug, which is already in there. I actually have a Tundra now but it's the 1794 with the fugly wood trim. $55 shipped to the lower 48. Thanks!

I have Hybrid Audio Technology Legatia 3" speakers in mine. Took a little bit of work to fit them(adjusting brackets) but they sound awesome. I would only recommend those if you plan on adding an amplifier as well. I don't think the stock HU would drive those speakers very well. You can add an...

Speaking of taking the 4runner to the coast. Where are some good spots to take it off road/beach combing? Anything in Washington or Northern Oregon Coast? Looking for something more family fun rather than hard core.

Stick with the 5100's. Not only can you easily get the .875" lift but you'll get improved handling/feel from the shocks. It also helps immensely with the braking nose dive. I've had 5100's on all 4 corners for over a year. Can't imagine going back to the stock setup. I think I ordered mine...

If you pull out the sliding tray and hardware you're left with a partial carpet with foam on the back side. You can strip that out as well and you're left with a flat, metal floor. Well, there are metal ridges but they're maybe 1/2" high. It's a good platform to build storage. Or just carpet...

Did the price go up? I purchased more in May and it was still $60.

Painted fenders on a TE seems like a design update fail... Like someone else mentioned, black plastic fenders save from many noticeable scratches. Not to mention the front and rear bumpers. Now the TE looks just like the limited or SR5. Just uglier with that fish mouth...

Phew, I figured it out. Fortunately, before my wife had to drive another 10 miles on the freeway. I ran through a mental check of the install steps. I realized I didn't fully torque the back wheel lug nuts after install. My dad showed up right at that time and I lost track. Just glad I caught...

I installed 5100's all around this weekend - no other change. The suspension felt great around town, big improvement over stock. It even felt great on the highway going 60 for a while. After hopping on the freeway for a few minutes there's a harsh chattering when going 50-60mph or so. Doesn't...

It's really not that tough to remove. I unbolted and pulled all the parts out in less than 30 minutes. No swearing involved. It does leave a slightly lumpy floor. There's a raised edge in the carpet on the sides and back. You can easily remove that carpet piece and lay down foam pad and some...

I agree that trying to fit 4" speakers in the dash doesn't seem worth the effort. Even if you found one that worked well firing off the windshield you'd have problems integrating with a tweeter. You'd either have to mount it in the same spot or have lots and lots of tuning. A 3.5" wideband is...

That's why you have one of each. ;) We're a two vehicle household and fortunately my wife likes trucks/suvs and fun cars. So we have the 4runner and an Audi S4. :) I like the color on that Porsche. Some day, when I have the space and extra money I'd love to have a Cayman or 911. The...

Planning on modding the grill and would like a spare to cut up. Please let me know if you have one and how much. Thanks!

That's a good price. Sounds right about invoice. Mine came with Nav and KDSS - I paid invoice at just over $38k. I'm 6'1" 260(and shrinking). At first, I thought it was uncomfortable. Especially after my F150 with huge seats. Then I adjusted the seating position and it's 100x better. With...
