I'm just voicing my thoughts since you brought cycling into the conversation is all. And nobody said anything about drivers getting a free pass here??

We have tons of cyclists around here that are just as dangerous, I'm all for sharing the road and I used to be very big into biking when I was younger, but I know cyclists that ***** and moan about cars not sharing the roads etc but then they don't feel they need to obey any traffic laws like...

Very nice looking vehicles!

Very interested in this thread as well as I am very seriously considering purchasing a TE to replace my Lexus IS350. Before this car I had a 3rd gen 4Runner that I greatly enjoyed. I will say that I do have a similar filter element only replacement with my oil changes and it's no bod deal. I do...

I guess I need to price this out and see how big of a job it may be.

Correct, this has been an issue for at least a couple years. I think it just slowley got worse over a time and she really wasn't riding in it any longer since she had a newer car. We bought this from the original owners several years back and at the time it had 18,000 miles on it. Honestly I am...

Well I am not so sure it is a front rack issue for me meaning that I do not notice the play in the stearing mentioned. Any bumps in the road that I hit there is just a very jarring shake from the entire vehicle itself. Honestly after reading this thread and the thought of throwing more money at...

Well I just read over all of these pages hoping I would find the cure at the end. :mad: I am also having this exact same issue on my 2002 4Runner with 97,000 miles. I have already replaced tires, shocks, struts. If I hadn't just replaced my timing belt, water pump, and accessory belts I would...

Okay I am digging this back up because I am still very unhappy. I am wondering if I possibly have a phase problem when I replaced all of my door speakers. If I remember correctly the front and rear doors had different color wiring for positive and negative for the front and rear doors. I do not...

Yea, I really did not want to have to run an amp on these speakers, and looking back I am kicking myself for not looking harder at an alpin HU and the alpine power pack to go with it. I really do not want to drop $200 on an 8" bazooka but I fear that may be my only option.

I mean I can tell the manual setting makes a difference, it just seem that even having it cranked all the way up it sounds worse than it did when it was all factory stuff.

I just ran out and checked and I have the HPF actually set to OFF like it should be. Darn it I was hoping that would have been it.

I am going to grab my manual and check to see if that is enabled. Thank you for such a quick response!

Guys, About a month ago I replaced my factory HU in my 3rd gen with a Sony CDX-GT700HD and left my stock speakers alone. Since that change my speakers have sounded like garbage. The only way I can describe it is that there seems to be nothing but highs and no mid bass at all. (I have played...

I know a guy at work with 226,000 miles as of last Friday.
