    4Runner vs. Land Cruiser?

    And we could play the same game again, with a 40 series vs. your 1st gen 4runner, but I really wouldn't want either for a daily driver though. And I was under the impression that the original post/thread was 4th gen 4runner vs 100 series, because of the similarities in the drivetrain but the...

    4Runner vs. Land Cruiser?

    Or the inverse, buy a used 100 series for 15K, put 25k worth of insane offroad rebuild into it. How does your 40K stock 4runner stack up?

    4Runner vs. Land Cruiser?

    Well for me at least a LX470 replaced my 4Runner as my daily driver. I kept the 4Runner around as a backup car and was saving it for my son's 1st car. I just traded the 4Runner in on a used TLC (100 series) for my son (he should get his license in about a month). The 4Runner is a nice capable...

    Does this price make sense? (Goes to 4runner on Ebay)

    What's your average ownership cycle?

    New Recaro Seat......at Sam's Club.

    (The link didn't work for me) I'll assume you are referring to the Recaro START booster seat. It appears that you are mocking the fact that someone would buy one of these for their child.... If not: They may be new to Sam's Club but they're not exactly new. Yes, I bought one for my son about...

    Whats a good price for 04 Limited V8 4X4

    The last time I was at the local dealer (getting my T4R serviced), I noticed a similar new 2004 4wd Limited marked at $8000 off MSRP. From my estimations that would be ~$2000 under invoice. Which is backed up by the fact that in my area Toyota is offering a $2000 incentive for 2004 4runners, so...

    Parrot Bluetooth Car Kit

    I would suspect the mute in, but as I said I have not tried to make this work yet. It is something that I have been meaning to do, but the Plug 'n' Drive kit is working well enough for me for now. jlb

    Parrot Bluetooth Car Kit

    No personal experience as I am still using one of the parrot "Plug 'n' Drive" kits, but looking at this it appears that CN2901 pin 6 might be what you are looking for.......... jlb
