I just responded to your PM, and yes it is still for sale. Been too busy to list it anywhere else yet but will probably do so over the weekend.

I will try to add many more photos as soon as I have the time to go take some without distractions from the kids. It's finally time to start listing my 2003 Toyota 4Runner Sport Edition, V8, RWD for sale. My parents offered me a deal too good to pass up on a Tacoma 4WD in September. 4Runner...

I started cleaning out all the junk that has accumulated in it over the summer. I'm anticipating I will start doing a more thorough cleaning this weekend to get it ready to list for sale. I'm happy to be staying in the Toyota family even though I will miss some of the features of the T4R...

I had one of the small side windows broken out on my old '95 4Runner in an attempt to steal the radio. Even after prying the dash to shit he couldn't get it out so stole only the faceplate. So yeah I understand about the no respect thing. If you failed as a thief to steal what you wanted...

I remember getting this letter earlier over winter, and checking out my dash real good. There were no cracks at all. Last night I noticed a long one along the edge above the stereo and a second crack on the passenger side air bag. If both keep cracking there is only a few inches between them...

Did replacing just the actuator fix the problem or was there anything else wrong? I've had a stuck rear driver side door for awhile now, but I was able to live without it working. Another kid on the way so I really need to get all 4 doors working. Ironically last night while I was googling...

Oh man this is going to be tempting...might have to convince my wife to learn to drive a stick. We have been talking about getting a 4WD vehicle for winter, and I really wanted a 4WD 5 speed before I ended up settling on 4th gen 2WD :-/. I see at least one dent on passenger rear bumper. Any...

Well I had some free time last night so even though I didn't hook up the Metra ASWC yet, waiting on the 70-8114 harness still, I installed the W535HD last night with just the Metra TYTO-01, USB cable and Mic. The whole thing took a lot longer than I thought, since removing took less time than...

Took it in for an oil change at the dealership and to have them look at the front brakes. I was getting some vibrations when braking hard again today. They suggested turning the front rotors and replacing the pads back with OEM. Rears were done a year ago and they said the fronts were fine...

Dealership had all but the bulbs for the rear defroster and recirculate buttons in stock. So I got the others put in and wish I had done this 2 years ago whenever the display went out. For some reason I was thinking it was more involved, but then I realized that is swapping them for LEDs. The...

Well I didn't get around to cleaning the rest of my interior yesterday and won't be able to until tomorrow or Wednesday. All I'm going to do today is order the bulbs to replace the HVAC lightning and display screen backlighting.

Yesterday I washed the exterior by hand for the first time since I've owned it. I just haven't had time to do it, or when I had time the weather wasn't very nice. But it also felt really nice to have a driveway and space to do it too. Feels like I've deprieved myself for the last two years...

Okay I just picked up the receiver, $393.99 plus tax. They had an open box but it was the display they took out this morning. So I'm happy I didn't go up to that other store for the open box as it was probably their display as well. I had them price match the Metra SWC kit to Amazon and I'll...

I didn't see that open box the other day when I was looking online, though I think I'd rather spend a bit more for the sealed box. The store down the road from me had 3 or 4 in stock yesterday, I think right under $400. I probably do need to jump on it if that's the unit I'm going to get. I...

Yeah or playing a DVD. I was referring to the sound setup menu, which is also blocked on this HU. Not that I think I would need to adjust the fade, balance, etc while driving but I guess you never know. Good to hear it's easy enough to do for free too. Not sure how the adapter I ran across...
