Hello all, Just posted my three Scion iPod cables in the classified section. jb

Welcome to the dreaded harmonic drone club...HDC. There are a lot of posts that describe it as different sounds or feelings but in essence it is an harmonic drone produced around 70 mph that is heard and felt while under power. Take your foot off the gas and it goes away, apply power and it...

Thanks for the advice and install write up. I found a company out of Arizona that sold me the kit for $76 shipped. Again, I appreciate y'all taking the time to post. jb

As you can tell from the pic below, we are in need of an aftermarket airbag lift. Do y'all have any suggestions on a good kit that can be installed DIY? Thanks in advance for any suggestions and/or pics provided. jb p.s. we searched but either our computer or the forum stalled.

Try as they may, Toyota can't escape the Camry blah. It's a Camry...:sleep:

Blah...hybrid schmibrid. Trucks are powered by gas, and better trucks are powered by deisel. Make a deisel option and leave the hybrid technobabble to the commuter rat race types who you'll catch hugging a tree as you 4 wheel by them on the trail. One of the best South Park episodes was about...

Pure speculation here, but I think Toyota will absorb the Seqoia into the 4R market by making the 4R slightly larger in the next generation or two. They will look to capitalize off of the 4R reputation and kill the crappy sales of the anemic Seqoia.

With the Pioneer HU above and the Eclipse speakers you have you should have a match for better sound, no clipping. One caveat is there were some reviews of those speakers that stated clipping was a common problem, so beware. I don't think you will get much bass fill with the Eclipse speakers...

Need the speaker model info. Are the Bazookas you're looking at powered? Clipping occurs when an amplifier is asked to deliver more current to a speaker than the amp is capable of doing. When an amplifier clips, it literally cuts off the tops and bottoms of the musical waveforms that it's...

Apples and Oranges, but the G35 is a nice car. The Runner and G35 both have their own purpose and uses that really don't mix for comparison. Depends on what you want in the end. edit: Get an automatic...shifting drives me crazy. :beer:

You got it Whip; top is Pike's Peak and the bottom is Bridal Viel Falls.

I'm fairly certain you will need to amp any upgraded speakers if you intend to have better sound than you are currently getting from your stock system. A simple speaker swap is not going to yield much of a difference except maybe in the thickness of your wallet. I had the same question you...

Good question and I just did. My Nuvi 360 says 2872.3 and the Runner's odo says 2894.2 for the Colorado trip. That is a difference of just under one percent. My Runner has 32,450 miles on it and the original Dunlop tires. The 19.6 MPG is based upon the odo which I believe is more accurate...

My '05 4x4 V8 had the harmonic for a little while then it seems to have gone away. I jacked up my front skid plate a while ago and usually go without it. When I took the Runner in for the drone, I was told to put the skid plate back on and see if it continues...and it actually stopped. I...

Just finished a 2800 mile round trip Colorado "sponveling" [spontaneous traveling] adventure. :dancin: In the V8 we hand calculated an average 19.6 MPG with a full load in the boot and a hitch carrier full of camping gear. Unleaded fuel prices averaged...$3.29, which really cut into our beer...
