The service advisor at my toyota dealer said I could "..probably wait until my next oil change" before getting it fixed. Up to you, but I would not want to go cross country (during winter) with any issues involving actuators/transfer cases/etc...

Unfortunately, the seal is "inside" so the have to pull a lot of stuff out. I'm not disappointed in the truck - after 155k miles with zero repair issues, this is nothing. The system is full time 4wd and mechanical parts wear..fact of life. What irks me is the dealer's repair price of 11.5...

Just had the same happen to me (posting up to keep this bad@ss board current) :-) After oil/tranny change by dealer (03 v8 4x4 155k miles) I noticed 2 drops of what appeared to be engine oil on the garage floor..was never there before the dealer did the oil change. I figred it was a loose...

Unfortantely, I did not take any pics of the sub before they closed it all up. The only thing "special" CC did was to go out and buy some polyurethane (pillow stuffing?) and put in the stock enclosure - according to the tech, he said it would fill the air better. Whatever he did - sounds...

mrmack - The PDX-5 is awesome..it kicks the sub hard. I can't take the volume past 85% for fear of blowing the sub (although I've been told by circuit city that shouldn't happen). I only put Kappa's in the front, so I used the stock tweeter location (replacing the JBLs). The quarts work...

I upgraded my stock JBL 10 speaker system and bought many of my components from Sonicelectronix.com. Their prices were good and shipping was fast...and I even returned 1 item, (requested RMA 3 days after 14 day cut off) and they credited me no problem..minus 10% stocking fee I think. Your sub...

gkatmar - I didn't have my cam with me when they fit the sub in. They did have to make a ring for it as the diameter is 7.x, a bit smaller than the old enclosure space. I'm not sure how they sealed it...but they did a good job. Clemson - I just checked and think I tossed my birthsheet (wasn't...

It's the Alpine PDX 5.1 (4 x 75w + 1 x 300w). That single Alpine powers the whole setup and it screams - I can't crank the vol all the way for fear of shattering something (window, ear drums, etc)

Finally swapped speakers/sub/amp Wanted to give you folks an update (and thanks for all the help). I finally swapped out my speakers, sub, amp and removed that crap tyto-01 adapter. Holy guacamole - the sound is amazing - way better than stock JBL synthesis! Here's what I (er circuit city)...

The guys at circuit city road shop had the cargo "floor" pulled up and the rear jbl panel exposed...not sure if they had to pull the floor first - but you might try it. Unscrew the trim along the back (where the rear door closes)...at least that's what I would try. They are supposed to swap...

Ah - helps if I'm sober when reading. Yeah, I'll have the shop keep all the parts they swap/don't use in a seperate box and send some pics (just to make sure we are talking about the same thing.)

morbius - If I don't keep the rear pylon speakers for "filler", I'll sell them. (I'm thinking of running those rears with the sub on the last channel - not sure if it will sound any better/worse though). fishin - I had a hard time finding a decent sub/amp that would fit in the same place the...

I'm certainly no pro, but I've learned a few things from the folks on this forum. I believe that as long as all the components are the jbl synthesis ones, there should not be much of an issue to "making it work". Install the speakers, the jbl sub and amp, and the jbl head unit and it should...

The JBL system rocks (for a stock system). I just replaced the h/u with a Kenwood DNX7100 and will be swapping the rest of the speakers, amp, sub in a few days (new stuff on order listed in previous posts). I'll let you know how the new stuff sounds - but if it wasn't for replacing the the...

Wow!
