This was solution #2 in my "4th Gen 4Runner X-Reas lift options/roundup" thread. I bought these spacers and didn't use 'em. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230275372801

I'm leaning towards the dnx-7100 from Kenwood. Here is a comparison matrix I've started among the three units I'm considering. http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=popHtYl5pu4IhMl-tGnNWNw

For what it's worth, here's where you can get TYTO-01 firmware updates, according to a Metra support guy I just exchanged e-mails with. It's not clear to me what benefits any new firmware might provide. Whatever. :confused: Did you spend time choosing between the 6600, the Kenwood DNX7100 and...

That looks awesome. Thanks for all the detail. Do you have steering wheel controls? Does the TYTO-01 provide that, or is there some other device you need? I can't find a link to the TYTO manual anywhere, but the Metra site refers to the ability to update the harness via USB. Anything you can...

I need only have waited for this post.

It's been a long while since I checked in here, so I hope you'll forgive me if this is a FAQ. I'm thinking about an audio refresh for my 2003 Sport with the premium factory system. Here's what I want: - The audio is already decent. If I can be persuaded that I need new speakers, so be it, but...

Hi all, Moved to Portland around a year ago. Almost ready to pull the spacers and install a proper coilover system. If I can find a local outfit that's up for the job. Any suggestions?

Holy cow, for $900 it better be awesome. For that kind of money I'd be tempted to think about a head unit upgrade for GPS, MP3, bluetooth etc. right in the dash. But I admit it's WAY cool. Nice screen, probably a fast and intuitive interface similar to c330, portable, MP3, traffic alerts...

Here's another shot of my 60C, a close-up of the mount. The black thing hanging down is the removable carry strap. Power cable is passed directly through the mounting bracket into the guts of the center console.

I adore my Garmin 60C. I admit it is a little dated, but I actually tried a c320 for a little while and didn't want to make the switch. There are geek features on the 60C I just couldn't live without. It doesn't have everything you're asking for: no voice, not expandable. But it does...

Thanks for the heads up. I just asked to be added to ths list.

Caveat emptor regarding Nitrous Enterprises. here are the latest details on my NE lift.

Just for kicks, I test drove one today. Here's my quick take. - Gorgeous interior. I mean like wow. :bowdown: Really sweet. Good cup holders! I never bothered to turn the stereo on: over 200 watts, harmon kardon, 6CD in dash, built-in aux input for MP3 player or satellite. What else is...

From a dealership that is a franchisee of Honda, Nissan, Isuzu and a couple others. How many times must one learn the laws of used cars? - Slow down, no reason to hurry. - Don't buy from used car dealers. - Spend $100 on a once-over by a mechanic. - Write down all promises made and make sure...

Summary: I bought a minivan for my wife and kids too hastily. Somebody tell me to either chill out or do something about it. :violin: There was a point where I thought we'd get by with just my beloved 2003 4Runner and a little Jeep Wrangler with no AC or hard top. I was going to use the YJ to...
