Yea I saw the clamps that would fit at Lowes I just didn't grab one for whatever reason. I might grab one next time I'm there just in case cause it wouldn't hurt

I just followed what you did and rerouted my ac drain too so thanks for that! My splash guard was in the way though so I only zip tied it in the one place near the bottom of the frame so hopefully that's enough to hold it. Do you think the splyce barb is enough to keep them together or have...

Dang, yea that's a lot! I only did the head unit and backup camera. The speakers are good enough for me but I don't jam out too hard haha. I think the ax5000 is definitely worth it though, so much nicer. What kind of sound deadening did you do? Before I got my runner I was worried about road...

I just installed a Sony in mine, ax-5000 I think is the model, also did a cheap $50 backup cam that crutchfield recommended and so far I'm really liking it. P.S. Peep the avg MPG :rockon:

Yea they definitely did, I even told them I was gonna take it to another shop to check it out so I wish they were just honest with me. But all is good cause I found one haha. And will do man! You've been a ton of help on my posts so I appreciate it

Unfortunately I went and looked at that runner and the rust was very significant, took it to a toyota dealer and they advised me not to purchase it. BUT, yesterday I found an awesome 2008 with 140k miles on it with a clean frame at another toyota dealer and snatched it up immediately so I'm...

Yea it may be too good to be true. It's only had one owner and shows no accidents/damage reported on the carfax for what its worth. I have an appointment with a toyota dealer to look it over before I purchase so I'll voice my concerns with them and see what they can find.

Thanks guys! I couldn't believe my eyes when I got the pics from the dealer, looked too clean to me haha. I've got them saying they will hold it for me til friday and I've got an appointment with the toyota dealer that's next to them for them to look it over before I purchase it. Here's to...

Can anyone provide any input on these pics? 2008 4runner with 140k on it at a dealer about two hours from me. Asked them to send pics of the frame before I drive up there to get a better look and they sent back these. It looks good but almost looks like it was painted over? idk maybe not edit...

Yea I may just have to walk away from this one cause the dealer doesn't really wanna work with me on taking much off the price. Unfortunately I'm not in the Richmond area, I'm near JMU if you're familiar with that. The rust has definitely been the first thing I've looked for when looking at...

Yea no you're exactly right, it's a used car dealership trying to maximize profits. If it was a toyota dealership they probably would've just fixed it with oem parts and I'd be a happy new owner but I guess that's too much to ask from this other dealer. If I can get them to knock $1000 off I'll...

Thanks for the lengthy write up! Looks like the dealer is just trying jip me honestly. Basically its a small local dealer that has a 4runner I want but before buying I took it to a shop who found both the cv axles need to be replaced along with the front rotors and a few other minor things. I...

Not to hijack the thread but how much should the CV axle replacements for both sides be? I'm looking at buying a 2009 that needs both sides done and the front rotors and pads and the shop is quoting about 650ish for parts whereas when I take it back to the dealer they are saying all the parts...
