Yes the Metra 70-8113 will allow you to retain the factory amp. I installed an Alpine iLX-W650 and kept the factory amp since I haven't swapped out the speakers yet. Once I do, I will delete the amp as I will run a separate 4 channel for the highs.

I paid $2500 to my dad and paying their home internet bill for the '02 SR5. All I did was to it was change the oil to Synthetic, changed water pump, timing belt and radiator, swapped the stock 15's for Taco 16's and threw in an Alpine iLX-W650 and A JL Amp and sub. Next will be removing the...

So I finished checking my mother in laws car for a possible recall and it needed one. So it prompted me to check on my '02 SR5. Sure enough I see 2 for it. The first one is: Safety Recall 50J - Toyota Front Suspension Lower Ball Joint. The second one is for freezing rear brake lines but it...

What you need with be the 70-8113, or could be you need an interface which would be the AXDI-TY1. It's an amplified harness. You might not have JBL but it means its still amplified, just not with the JBL Digital amp which would require the AXTO-TY1. The 70-1761 is for basic audio which you...

I have that unit on my 3rd Gen. You can't Y out the USB port. The radio wont read 2 signals at the same time. I know for PC they make a USB switch with individual switches to activate a certain connector. I'm just not sure if it would be 12 volt compatible. By the way it's a great unit. It...

Here is the color coding for 3rd gen audio. This is for the standard audio 4runners, not the factory amplified ones.

If you need a Big 3 Kit, I have a customer on the state of Washington that makes his own kits. His shop is called Franks Audio Motive. He custom makes cables in different lengths, sizes and colors. Let him know Alex from BSA sent you. DIY Car Audio Parts & Supplies | Franks Audiomotive |...

It is more of a vibration which starts at around 68mph and will stop around 72-73mph. Like I mentioned before, the transmission was rebuilt a few years ago. I didn't get a chance to do any work on the truck since some last second work came up. Any indicators I should look into when I get a...

Looks like alot of things I will have to check. The wheels are OEM off of a Tacoma. It's 2WD. I don't think the wheels were balanced on a Hunter machine as mentioned. I don't think my dad did much of that work on his own. If he had any drivetrain or suspension work done it was a mechanic. I...

Honestly no. I have been doing more of the basic preventative maintenance and fixing interior things. I've had the truck since January. Bought it off my parents. With the exception of the transmission being rebuilt 2-3 years ago, everything is factory. Other than the tires, I changed the...

I have a similar issue with my 02 SR5. The window works with the key. The rear wiper doesn't work. The front switch for the window doesn't work because there is no harness hooked up for it, unless mine came with the wrong bezel.

OK so I have been working on my 02 Runner fixing things here and there. I finally was able to upgrade my wheels and new tires from the stock 225/75R15 to 225/70R16. Before I did that this past weekend, I noticed aon the freeway when I would hit 70, the truck would start to vibrate. Not so...

OK so I finally had a chance to check once again the bezel. The defroster does work as before and the ECT button works as well. The passenger seatbelt light also works. The rear window itself works when I use the key method in the back. Is there a relay or specific fuse I should look for...

The rear defroster does work that I know for a fact. Is there something else I should look at? I took it apart again the other day to look for a loose harness.Everything else on the bezel has a harness except the window switch.

Thank you all for the info. Next time I hit up Pick your Part, I will look into that. Now I have to figure out the rear hatch window switch on the center bezel and I should be good to go.
