    Sneak Peek: 4Runner Android Carputer!

    Thanks everyone! I spoke with a buddy of mine today who deals a lot with Android/Linux. He's going to help me pull the resources I need to tailor this kernel specifically to my needs. Maybe even a Toyota splash screen on boot? Tomorrow I will grab all the sources I've found to input these...

    Question: Methods for powering the speakers without a headunit?

    I have a question for the audio guys out there. I am currently piecing together the items I need for a very top secret build I am planning. Is there a way to provide AUX 3.5mm or coaxial input to the car speakers without using a head unit? I have searched for a few days now, both on site and...

    CB Mounted Overhead

    This is awesome! Love the outcome! Definitely saving this for future use. I'm guessing you made a cardboard template to match the roof angles? I would enjoy seeing a quick write up of this. :hungry:

    Key - keyhole (ignition) locks up - won't turn

    Same issue. I carry a little squeeze bottle of graphite lubricant. It's designed for locks and does wonders. It's not a permanent fix, but it will keep you from being stranded...

    2.7L alternator wiring order

    Thanks UnderFire, Just now had the old alternator tested and it passed... So now I'm suspecting the junction.. I looked at the fuses last night and neither the 7.5amp nor the 100amp seemed to be blown. It's never easy huh? Lol

    2.7L alternator wiring order

    Thought I'd ask here just to make sure. I'm replacing my alternator on my 4Runner and the wires came out of the plug, does anyone know the order of the wires in the plug when looking down on it? We currently have it as Yellow, Red/blue, and white. We had it all hooked up, but the battery is...

    **Photography Talk**

    The "slicks" are my current nightmare. Not sure whats wrong, but the truck chews through front tires. Bought those tires in December, they have 5k on them. All the alignment shops I take it to just treat the symptoms and don't look for the cause. Buuut. I think I found the issue after...

    Need help! Unknown issue causing excessive tire wear!

    Finally got a print out of it aligned. Shop said it was just "Radial wear of the tires". I took it to another shop and showed them the print out, their mechanics unanimously agreed it was either a bent driver's side lower control arm, or the frame was pushed back on the driver's side. I didn't...

    Need help! Unknown issue causing excessive tire wear!

    Truck wanders slightly both left and right, but no shimmy. Smooth ride all the way up to 80mph. Steering wheel feels like there is play in the rack maybe? It's nice and smooth on resistance however it take maybe 5-10 degrees to notice a change in direction.

    Need help! Unknown issue causing excessive tire wear!

    Truck has never been in an accident. Only thing I can think of that could even come close to causing frame damage is this (it was caught on video) http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-mqJ_pjeERQ
