    How to: Replace JBL Subwoofer

    Rockford Fosgate P3SD2-8 Punch Stage 3 shallow 8" subwoofer with dual 2-ohm voice coils Price has gone up since 2018. I bought it for $119.99 and $169.99 seems to be the price at Crutchfield and others online. Looks like there is a Amazon warehouse deal for $99 right now. Might be worth a...

    How to: Replace JBL Subwoofer

    Yes, it works great with the factory amp. The specs between the two subs similar, just a higher watt rating on the new one. Most important it that both have dual voice coils are the same size so install was easy. No cutting of the plastic speaker box at all. I run the bass setting at half and...

    Dash Lights / Camshaft Sensor Learning Experience / Dealership Fail

    Wanted to take a second to do a brief write up / tell a funny story in case others find themselves in the same situation with their '05+ V8 (vvti matters) - The CEL / all VSC related dash lights came on in May. I've been reading about this and "fixes" people did to eliminate. Multiple ECU...

    Anyone else can't get comfortable in the runner?

    The seats are uncomfortable. It's the bolsters that kill me. Too tight for 6' 1", 220 "muscular build". My back is somewhat built and I can't fit in between the bolsters well, but it's my wife's car so I deal with it (chiropractor).

    Very excessive cranking at start up sometimes

    I saw the post of 5-6 seconds of cranking time by someone with a '07 V6. I have a V8 with 99K miles. For no cause I can determine, there are times I turn the key, let go and it tries to crank for ~3-5 seconds then stops. Try again, same thing. Try again, it stumbles a little at the end...

    To the DIY FJ conversion fellas

    I would rather have done this myself, but with a kid and work I have more money than time these days. I will say it was convenient to walk in, hand them the keys and then a few hours later have it done. Damn it, I think I am getting lazy....

    To the DIY FJ conversion fellas

    I just did the exact swap last week - '08 springs / Bilsteins. Decided to let local mechanic do it. He charged me $280 after tax if you have interest. In Chapin, SC. Not too far from you. "Kevin's Auto Repair".

    4th Gen: Need Advice for FJ Suspension Swap

    Done. Before the write up, quick question....Are FJ cruiser REAR springs the same height. My 2008 FJ sprimg set just had one gray paint mark on both. I measured them as the same height and the 4runner looks straight to me, but i was curious. Got the 4runner back yesterday. First impressions...
