    JBL subwoofer rattle (or blown)

    I have a practically new factory sub driver out of my '05 Limited from when i replaced the whole system back in the day if anyone is interested. It had been in my car only a year when it was taken out. *SOLD*

    Day on the beach

    Yup...across the river a day after a big storm. And yes...all the way to the end of the 'sand highway' and back. All by accident really cause I didn't know what I was getting into. Should of taken note when all I saw are ATVs and buggies around me but I wanted to play too :) She handled it...

    Day on the beach

    This was actually on Pismo Beach. Wife and I took a lovely road trip up to SLO and SB for valentines day weekend. Lots of rain was predicted but it turned out to be a great crisp and clean after the rain feel all weekend while we toured the area. The 4R did great out on the sand dunes! At no...

    Realistic expectations from 4WD?

    Sounds like this is your first ABS equipped vehicle. The response you are getting from your brakes is normal! They keep you in control of your vehicle under threshold braking in all conditions. ABS basically does not allow you to 'break the champagne glass' like you can in a non-ABS equipped...

    Engine Question on T4R versus GX

    The basic reason you point out is the major reason for the hp descrepancy. Octane allows for more compression before pre-ignition and knock although the GX and 4R have the same static compression. This allows them to tune more aggressively by advancing timing for more dynamic compression...

    4Runner vs Lexus GX 470

    In real use, I've never had a problem with the door opening to the side. I guess if you live in a big city where all you have is street parking, there *may* be an issue...but in my use, I don't even think about it. Truthfully, the fact that it's a side opening door makes it much easier for my...

    4Runner vs Lexus GX 470

    Spend some time in a GX and you'd think otherwise. The GX is literally the rich cousin with everything. Just as tough but more luxurious, refined, and more capable.

    4Runner vs Lexus GX 470

    I have a 05 4Runner V8 4x4 LTD. Parents have an 06 GX470 Sport Ed. completely loaded. If given the choice and money was not too much a concern, I'd spring for the GX470 without question. If I were to do it again, definitely GX470. Several big differences that make the $6k a solid value: GX...

    Revisiting the driveshaft clunk(At 36,400 )

    I've heard of at least one incident where someone got a cracked transfer case due to too much lube in the slip joint. They reasoned that too much lube does not allow the slip joint to properly compress which transfers too much thrust force into the transfer case. I'd err on the side of a...

    FS: '05 Limited Audio Parts

    I think $100 is reasonable. And I'm not in a rush to sell it. That said, I'll do $80 + shipping. It's pretty heavy. Shipping to LA from CA will be around $15. So figure $95 shipped.
