still have front door tweeters? How much

I did the 3.5 coaxial swap with Pioneer TS-A878 and I'm running a Sony XAV-64BT head unit with JBL amp retained. After putting in the 3.5's I've been having a weird issue where the sound will just drop in volume (though reading on head unit the same). Seems to happen intermittently and randomly...

Hey all, I have a '05 SE with the JBL system and I blew one of my tweeters in the front. I'm going to replace with 3.5'' per this thread. I am running a sony XAV64BT see here. My question is: what wattage speakers do I need that will sound good with that headunit? I see that it has 17 watts...

also- any of you photoshoppers want to mock up a picture of what it might look like?

I have been thinking of changing around my roof rack and this idea popped into my head. Obviously there would need to be some customization done so it would fit the 4Runner mounts, but do y'all think this could be possible? I like the look of the stock FJ rack and there are a ton of add-on's for it.

I'm looking for a set of wheels either from an FJ (the 6 spoke alloys or the new 2010-11 grey ones that look like the TE's), the split 5 spoke wheels from a tundra/sequoia/ or the Trail Edition 4Runner wheels. I'm located in Chapel Hill, NC and a local sale would be preferred if possible...

subscribed, I'm thinking about going with a set of TE wheels and painting them flat black

I'm having this tick problem too, which a mechanic told me is probably a cracked manifold. My 4R has 93k :cry: no emissions warranty fix for me apparently

This is in the original post. I assume this is the info you were looking for?

@gaterose - do you have any pics of your headlights after you used the VHT stuff? I know people use that to tint taillights, but I thought i'd read somewhere when I was researching for this project that it didn't work well on headlight housings. @T4RUSAF - like I said, I wouldn't really...

I should also add that all I did to prep the surface of the housings was wash it down with dish soap, and that probably wasn't even necessary considering it's been in a sealed unit til now. The paint seemed to have no trouble adhering, but I'll keep y'all posted on how the paint holds up. Also...

I was never big on the black headlights on a silver car look, so I decided to try painting the headlight housings with Duplicolor Metalcast Smoke instead. I was trying to go for a black chrome appearance. The metalcase is supposed to be a translucent paint for shiny faux chrome plastic surfaces...

It's amusing that ^ he needs a tire carrier when he has a longbed pickup. Clearly he doesn't have enough space for his extra wheel. :bravo: in any case, these look sweet. I'll probably be looking into one when I upgrade to a larger tire size that won't fit in the stock spare tire location
