I've been running the Extreme HID kit for 2 years now, and haven't had a single issue. I love them! My only issue is that tons of people flash me because they think my high beams are on. I've aimed them properly, they are just THAT much brighter. I originally installed them as a safety...

I was actually thinking about doing a spacer lift as well. Looking at Spidertrax too - to widen out the stance if I put a lift in. My runner is a daily driver as well - but I'd love to eventually get another daily driver and turn this beast into an off-road machine.

Hey! It's great to see someone else from the same town. I live in the West End, and park in an off-street lot. It's probably not mine. You'd be able to recognize mine from the Thule ski box covered in ski resort stickers. Do you live right in town? Here's a list of mods I've done in the...

I bought the exact same truck, the 2006 4Runner Sport Edition 4WD in the same color, Silver. I've looked for tasteful mods over the last year that were relatively easy to perform. Here's what I've done so far: 1. Toyota OEM Skid Plate - $117 Toyota Parts and Accessories Store 2...

Agreed. I'm guilty of the same thing, I fried an actuator while attempting the VSC mod. The trim piece is by far the best looking one of the bunch. I'll probably leave it be too.

Looks great I-1100! One thing I did notice on mine and yours, is that the trim color is less black than our climate control area. I know this may be picky, but I was considering painting the trim piece a deeper black to match better.

I live up in Maine and rent a ski house every year deep in the mountains. I was looking for a good and cheap tire upgrade to get me through the deep snow and keep me stable on slick icy conditions. I found the Mastercraft Courser MSR tire for a great price at a local tire shop, and decided to...

Those are good suggestions. I think I may have a professional interior carpet cleaning before considering a new carpet purchase. I wonder how much this would cost? I have a Weathertech Cargo Liner - maybe I'll spring for the front/rear liners as well.

Just checked with them, they do not offer carpeting for the 2006 4Runner.

It's about 5mph off. I'd like to have accurate speed readings on the instrument cluster, and also would like to get accurate readings on Range, MPG, etc. on the climate control panel.

I bought a used runner last year, and it came with some nasty stains. I've gotten most of it out, but there's still alot I couldn't get. Looking to replace the factory carpeting for the passenger compartment in my 2006 Sport Edition. Does anyone have any experience doing this? Where could I...

Thanks for the info! After attempting the VSC mod and having my actuator fried, I've decided not to cut any electrical wires ever again. I don't want to turn anyone else away from this - I just don't feel my knowledge and skills are adequate for attempting this mod. Do you guys know if a...

I recently upsized from 265/65/17 to 265/70/17 about 2000 miles ago. Although these are just snow tires, I won't be going back to 65's. The ride seems better with the larger tire - less bouncy and more of a planted feel. I also noticed about a 3% speedo error and was able to confirm this on...

I got mine off eBay using Bing Cashback (10% off). As long as the seller has a high positive rating, you should be fine.

Do a search for the Eclipse AVN726E. I just installed it in mine, and it's loaded with features. I paid around $570 on ebay with Bing cashback. Great price on a flagship headunit.
