Still able to meet as we discussed?

When just about everything costs more money, it's inflation. Dumping trillions back to the people from the taxes they already paid, along with promoting welfare and unemployment payments from those that ARE working? This is part of the downfall of America; the socialist takeover.

I thought I would enjoy my 3rd gen more than I do. I sold quite a quick E30 S54 swap for this just to have a care-free vehicle, but alas I think an X5M or Range Rover Supercharged sport will be the replacement, possibly LR4, maybe even F150 FX4. The biggest issue I have is the harshness. I have...

^Button vs Hex vs Triple Spline does not matter here. As stated part of the issue is the threads are pressed into the slots when the crossbars are loaded up. Just use a shouldered bolt....

To be fair your trading 1 aluminum rack for another, both with very similiar designs, and for your use case removing and reinstalling bars often will most likely result in the same problem... Also, as to the load path Sherpa is talking about...take a look at the competition you want to buy. It...

Yes and no depending on year. You can plug in a laptop via the ODB2 port and read ALL the diagnostic codes, again, many more than the low number of ODB2 codes which is very primitive and rarely point the way forward to a fix. Depending on if the ECU was hacked, we can change which codes get...

I believe both racks are aluminum, and both only use 2 of the 4 Bolts due to the sliding nature of the cross bars. You probably should drill 2 more holes per cross bar with weight for the underside of the crossbar, also use shouldered bolts so they do not bite into the side rail for both...

Funny, quite a few reviews stated the same even on new 3rd Gen 4runners....

Curious, are there better diagnostics tools for the 4runner than ODB2? In the BMW world we have INPA and others to read many more codes that may or may not trigger ODB faults. I find ODB2 to be much too limiting...

Usually on a BMW, the yellow twisted pairs are the CAN High and Low.. as the voltage floats and it just looks for a voltage differential of 5v I believe rather than say 0v and 5v

In my GIF, the Diodes for the Map lights are there so that you have independent control of them. To try it out go here: Circuit Simulator and Import from Text, then paste this in to see why the diodes are needed... $ 1 0.0000049999999999999996 10.20027730826997 50 12 43 R -528 -128 -528 -176...

^Correct, the switches just close the circuit. However the wiring is not actually tied into the door switches, I just did not want to draw in the logic for how the lights come on with the doors open. The main point, being for my diagram, tie in to the ground side of the light, but before the...

Personally enjoying my Alpine ILX-650. I have the parking brake bypass, and I knew to use quality USB-C cable for due to understanding the tech. I only wanted Android Auto, which works quickly. Radio works fine for me, and I use the stock speakers, no additional amp. Bluetooth has been working...

Also, enough want the supercharger, so when you go to sell, remove and sell 4runner and supercharger as separate items.... Though for me I will stick to stock. I wanted a captain slow car after my E30 S54 build.
