Well this is an old thread, but no point in making a new one. The original problem got worse and I've basically been living with a faulty stereo all this time. Edit: I just went and checked out the system. It seem that all my components ARE working. I think that the front center speaker...

I'd be interested in one front speaker and the amp if you want to part it out.

Well I figured out the problem with the front driver side speaker. Checked for voltage all the way to the speaker leads (the wires that go in to the housing and attach to the speaker) and thats when I noticed one was disconnected where it attaches to the speaker. Is there a correct way to fix...

Update: Pulled the HU to check connectors. They all looked properly connected but wiggled them all in anyways. Turn the stereo on and most of the speakers are working! WTF? So I go around and check them all and everything works except for the front driver side speaker. Probably should have...

To start off, I've done a number of searches for this and haven't found my issue. I have a 2003 4-Runner with the JBL 10 speaker sound system. In the past I got an occasional cutout from the door speakers that was intermitent and then they would start working again. Well at some point they...

Sorry, maybe not the right place for this, but why doesn't it work for the JBL system and what comparable system would work with the JBL system?

Didn't read the whole thread, but my fronts froze too. Passenger front around 90,000 (lower inside piston IIRC) then the drivers side (same piston) at around 100,000. I got the vehicle at 85,000 so who knows if they were replaced before I got it. It's a 2003 V8 Limited. I bought the car in...

No one has taken the lower control arm off before or had this problem?

Hey guys, I've searched and can't seem to find any info. Anyways, installed a daystar 2.5/1.5 easy install kit a couple weeks ago and went to get an alignment last weekend. The alignment tech said the front cam adjust bolt assembly on the drivers side lower control arm is broken. You can...

Like the title says, I'm looking for FJ Cruiser Bilstein suspension for the front and rear (shocks/struts and springs). I would consider the non-Bilstein (black) setup as well if it's low mileage and in good shape. I'd prefer the fronts are fully assembled with the tophats on and ready to...

So I'm still trying to decide what to do on mine. In researching, I have found some people remove the factory rubber spring isolator and some leave it. What did you do? If it's about 1/4" that would be around 1/2" difference of lift one way or the other. If you left it in with the 2" net...

I didn't see anywhere that you mentioned whether or not you you had XREAS previously. My truck has XREAS and 123k miles and I'm thinking I can't be too far off from needing shocks. I'm thinking about just switching to a Bilstein FJ setup but I've always liked the idea of XREAS, but I'm not...

I can't speak for the V6 but the V8 with 123k is extremely smooth...it feels like it just rolled off the showroom floor. I've been so impressed with this truck - I've never had a vehicle with 100k+ that drove so nicely. My 0.02

Yeah I had that too now that I think of it. I read through the one for the Tundra a couple times prior to doing mine. It would probably suffice if you didn't have the service manual.

So mtnbiker: You ended up doing the FJ suspension with a 2" lift in front and 1.5" in back? Do you have any shots straight on from the side so we can see the stance better (hard to judge when it's at an angle). Also, do you have before/after measurements of the wheel wells and running boards...
