250 km/h in a 1980's AMG SL560. Scary fast car

I've got the same issue on my 2008 SR5. I've tried clay bar, rubbing compound, etc. with no luck.

I filled up in Green River, reset the odometer, drove the nearly 300 miles and then filled up again. Some fairly steep climbs going up but also get to basically coast going down the mountain passes. Computer showed about 10% higher than actual. My V8 Grand Cherokee averaged between 17 and 18...

Driving from Green River, Utah to Denver, Colorado (350 miles), I got a calculated 22.6mpg. Computer showed 25.1mpg. Speed was between 60 and 80 mph going up and down several mountain passes. Pretty damn good I think as I had 2 passengers plus several hundred pounds of gear along for the ride.

Same thing happened to me when changing out radio. The contacts for the 4x4 switch are very thin and easy to bend. I put the connector on and bent one terminal so it wasn't making contact. I took a needle nose pliers and straightened it out. Put everything back together carefully and all is...

I have an 08 with the 3rd row seats. The middle row of seats will tilt forward for entry to the 3rd row. I really don't have much use for mine and have them removed all the time and stored in the garage. I believe that you are correct - you can't retrofit the seats into a 4Runner that didn't...

Just outside Glacier National Park near Polebridge, Montana.

Pretty simple install. I bought mine from E-bay for $74 shipped and it included the wiring harness and instructions. The easiest way to get to the wire in A9 is to remove the plug by loosening the screw that holds the plug in, remove the plug and then peeling back some of the electrical tape...

DIY for me. 5 qts of Mobil 1 at WM costs $26.00, Toyota filter less than $5.00. Add a $10 rebate from Mobil 1 and I get a quality oil change for less than $25. My drain plug didn't have a washer on it. Lost from a previous change? I bought my 08 used so that's what I'm guessing.

My mileage over the past 2 tanks of gas has been 21.1 mpg. I do a mix of driving but it's about 70% highway with speeds between 55 and 75. I do notice that the factory computer is off about 10%. The last tank, the computer said 24.4 mpg but I calculated 22.2. Still not bad for a 4000+ pound...

I thought about trying to remove the Scion logo but was worried about "hazing" the black fascia of the radio. I suppose I could try it on the old HU though...

Just finished installing the T1808 in my 2008 SR5 that I picked up off Craigslist for only $35. With the help from this forum, it took well under an hour and some of that time was spent detailing the parts that came off. The sound quality is WAY better than the factory HU (11823). I have the...

It works in an 08 SR5 w/sunroof just fine. Takes all of about 2 minutes. It took longer to get the ladder out to reach the learn button on my garage door opener than to remove and replace the console. Had the parts from Conicelli's in a couple of days for $84.17. A big improvement.
