The other thing I noticed about having the ECO on when I was driving was that I was actually get worse gas mileage! I think the ECO has something to do with what gears you use. I tend to have a leadfoot so I think it was trying to stay in "more efficient" gears, while I'm flooring the gas. I...

This is really good, exactly what I was looking for. The next step is to hack the NAV so we can play DVD movies on the screen!

Hi all, has anyone figured out a way to use the GPS while moving. I cannot enter a destination through either voice commands or touch screen while moving. Now I know this is a bad idea for me to do while driving, but my wife in the passenger seat is fully capable of this. I find this very...

I just installed the running boards on my limited last night. It was a little bit of pain because it is cold up here and my garage is covered in dirt, but its very straightforward. They look good I like them. The thing is Toyota has different "divisions" in different parts of the country...

I definitely want to put on mud flaps (I think it will help) but they are not on the limited version and my local parts department does not have them... Has anyone found them?

Has anyone figured out anything with the GPS yet? My buddy has a lexus and he got the GPS to work even while moving. He said something about disconnecting the wire to the tachometer. Also he can play movies in his GPS.

It will probably bottom out below the windshield. The wiper mount is offset to the passenger side and not in the middle. Do the other models not have this issue?

I have a limited and I've noticed the rear windshield wiper only clears like 50% of my rear windshield. Has anyone else noticed this? Its seems like poor design. Its an issue for me because i have salt all over my rear windshield due to living in upstate ny and having no mud flaps on the rear...

Nice pics, I also have the blizzard pearl. One thing I've noticed is the rear wiper doesn't wipe the entire rear windshield. Anyone have any thoughts on that? Also anything on mud flaps yet? I live in upstate NY it's snowing and salty!

I was at a dealership in upstate NY. I have a blizzard pearl limited. I went to the dealer to find the running boards and they told me apparently Toyota SE (FL, GA, etc.) is a different toyota and has different parts. So calling the dealer in GA they will ship them to upstate NY?

I like the mods! I have a blizzard pearl limited. How do we get mud flaps and running boards on it! Seriously anyone have any ideas? Also, I took the antenna off it looks dumb! Thinking of putting on a small one.

I live in upstate NY (Albany) and I just bought a grill guard and bumper guard. I've decided I will not take these mine off and if I do get I ticket I'll contact the local news and make a big stink. Are the people on this committee state senators or what? Is anyone planning on contacting them...

Kronos how heavy duty is that bumper guard? I think I've seen similar ones on ebay and it acts like the tubing is aluminum and not steel or stainless. Do you know which it is and also any idea of the Tubing OD and wall thickness?? Thanks, Tom

Mark, I ran my Sirius antenna today, it took like 20 minutes and was easy. Thanks for the pics and thoughts, it was real easy and looks good. Thanks, Tom

I want to get a grill/brush guard for my 4runner and install some auxiliary lights. I have found a few and these are the ones I like so far: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7994178431&fromMakeTrack=true Ebay item: 7994178431...
