Thoughts on changing diff and transfer case oil after running in 4H at 60-65mph for 1.5hrs. Figured if you can shift at 50.... 60-65 should be fine. I've read the other threads concerning 4H speed thresholds, there doesn't seem to be a consensus.... beyond running at that speed is stupid...

2nd pit peeve Exhaust coming in the rear window. The next upgrade will be side exhaust pipes to reduce exhaust drag.

hate entune Entune. So I got rid of it. Now it sounds almost as good as my entertainment system. And navigation is 100X better.

Scosche I wouldn’d bother with a scosche kit. I bought both to compare. You can’t use the factory brackets to bolt the HU to the dash and the fit is worse than the metra kit. I fixed the looseness of the metra kit by wrapping the spring clips twice with electrical tape. Still not a...

test drive I test drove models with and without KDSS before purchasing. The first model I drove was a basic SR5, after driving that I decided a 4Runner was not for me. 6 months later I started getting more serious about purchasing a new vehicle and had the opportunity to drive a model with...

Finally found a you tube video with the info. Black antenna lead is the satellite radio antenna and the white is GPS antenna. Some temporarily finished photos:

Back to the original question: Anyone know which antenna lead is which? GPS/Satellite radio... Does it matter?

The only reason I got that unit is because New Egg offered a $395 promotional gift card with it. $800 was significantly less to swallow than $1200. I'll post some video/pics once the FM antenna adapter and front mount camera arrive and I have to pull everything out again. Install is extremely...

Anyone that has done a newer pioneer install. Just installed my new head unit yesterday. A little miffed at the 3 different antenna connections combined with maestro kit not having the right adapters for pioneer/2018 4runner. The OEM leads consist of a: single black, single white and double...

metra/maestro rr/pioneer w8400nex I'll be installing a pioneer unit next weekend in mine. Debating on taking the metra kit (99-8227S) into a bodyshop to have it paint matched. Metra apparently does have a kit that is close to current colors (99-8227CHG), but good luck finding it anywhere...

2 questions For those that have it: are there any performance gains? Secondly, does the side outlet reduce/eliminate rear window drag exhaust entering vehicle? I've been considering Borla's rear exit for some time now, but would prefer side exit for rear window issue.

I will admit I did not reset ECU by pulling the power after the install.

just insatlled Did a few things differently than most because I didn't like the vacuum line touching the intake manifold... Really just flipped the throttle coupler 180. And added a wire loom clamp to the back of the air box. Not sure if it is related, but did a 30mi dinner trip lat night and...

It was definitely the windows. I’ve never seen a passenger seat rattle like that before just from windows.... at least an inch of movement After many tests it is definitely the windows.

Glad the kit I ordered from a local dealership is back ordered, allowed me to cancel the order and order the individual parts, saving $100. Thanks guys.
