As a 3000GT owner, it does have room for 4, if two of the people have no legs :) I will say it's generally reliable and does have good MPG, but it's not quick - unless you're talking a VR4.

If you've got something to connect the speaker not a big deal. You can get the factory speaker grille from the dealer for about $35 or so. The trick would be finding a speaker to fit - my understanding is the OEM speaker is about $120. Took a little bit of time getting the dash cut to fit - not...

Out of curiousity, why? Price increase coming? Have a bumper on order but was holding off on getting the lights until the bumper had shipped...

Been really happy with the Wranger SilentArmors here. Pretty quiet ride on the road, no complaints off road - though we're not doing rock crawling - but have done a few trails that I'd consider relatively rough for a stock vehicle.

The antenna issue has been discussed quite a bit. The 4Runner has a diversity antenna system - which as best I can tell means that there are two antennas in the vehicle and the factory head unit picked which one had the best signal. I do know that the antenna bundle from the factory harness has...

Some minor issues we didn't notice on our recent purchase that we had to correct later: - Cabin air filter - cheap & easy to do, but one that seems to get missed - Ensure all interior lights work - some of the AC control lights were burned out, we checked the headlights & tail lights but...

Eclipse does make nice stuff (I've got an old Eclipse unit in my 3000GT) but they're exiting the retail market in North America, which is too bad. We'd considered the Eclipse AVN726E unit, but it was hard to find them anywhere. The Pioneer had more features, a better screen and a much lower...

For MY 2011 the Ford Explorer has moved to the Taurus unibody chassis, four wheel independent suspension and no longer is available with a two-speed transfer case. In short - not real 4wd - though the are trying their best to 'fake it' in software with multiple terrain modes. I guess the real...

Ok, I can save you money on this. They don't show it on the item page, but Amazon does offer 30% off on this right now (through Sept 4th) using coupon code: UIBMC8UY - making it $122.50 from them w/free shipping - good on most the pioneer models - 3200, 4200, 5200, 6200, 7200 (the 4200 & 5200...

Well the Midland 1001LWX currently has a $10 rebate on it - available for $45shipped from buy.com -$10 rebate = $35. It has the weather radio as well. The Midland is probably better sized for installation in the center console than in a DIN slot though. I'd probably do the Cobra for if you're...

Oddly enough we happened to have this same conversation with a local dealer today. My girlfriend has an '05 v6 4Runner that she recently bought. Had it in for some window tinting and to repair some bumper damage I'd done to it (oops!). Service guy recommended waiting till 100k miles (probably a...

Avast 5 has a free version - should be able to get a key from their website - if I recall you have to provide an email address and they email you the key. IMHO - keeping your computer up to date on patches is just as important (if not more so) than running anti-virus - but you really should do...

I know this question has been asked to death, and hate to add to it, but am looking for some specific information. Has anyone out there with a v6 4Runner - without an aftermarket bumper - installed an OME lift with 885 springs in the front? If you run/ran this setup did you have any issues...
