I was hoping for around $1200 give or take a couple hundred. Thanks for the pointer, I'll have to check it out.

I've got a 2004 Limited with factory XREAS and desperately need a new suspension. Since I'm going to already be spending money on the project I'd also like to go ahead and do a slight lift, but I really don't want a harsh ride. I had a 2007 XTerra OR that I put Bilstein 5100s + OME springs on...

I'm looking to replace my xreas as well, used Bilstein 5100s on my XTerra with some OME leaf springs in the rear and the new leaf springs stiffened the ride severely. I really would like a 2" lift since I'm going to invest money in the suspension, but since it's my daily driver I am terrified...

I'm looking at 265/70s, so the Falkens are only E load. And they're exactly what I have on my X and I'm not really thrilled with them as a daily driver. Offroad they are fantastic.... had them on some wild trails in Ouray and not a chip in the tread on some pretty nasty rocks. But they lose...

I need some new tires and need some decent off-road tires that are sidewall puncture resistant. I'm hoping to buy some land in west Texas soon, and there are some nasty mesquite trees and plenty of sharp rocks which can shred tires. On my Xterra I have some Falken LT E-load tires, but they are...

I just pulled mine out of my 04 Limited, have it up on Craigslist. PM me if you are interested in simply swapping out rather than upgrading. I went with an Axxera and it was a bit of a pain given the amp connections. I had to get an aftermarket adapter, and it's still not all that loud.

Always good to test, but the center is + and the barrel is -. You run the + back to the fuse panel, and - to the chassis. I did tap into the extra connector in the center console by the existing 12V outlet to run the rear center console outlet. For that I did need a multimeter to figure out...

I put a 12V outlet just below the hazard light switch and one in the rear center console. Took about 15 minutes to do the front, and about 30 minutes to do the center console. I went with these off Amazon... they are good quality and easy to install. I used a 1-1/8" (I believe) hole saw and...

I've had no luck with Invisible Glass. I tried their wipes as well as their spray along with a microfiber cloth and neither did a good job. I drove a half our out of my way today to Pep Boys to buy some Surf City Beyond Glass, after seeing a recommendation on some detailing forum, and the...

So far I like them. On close inspection I wish they designed them to adhere to the plastic trim at the door opening, it seems like they may warp slightly and catch your shoes after a while. Might be something for me to play around with... some type of easy to remove adhesive that has just...

Coincidentally my Weathertechs came in this afternoon... here's another picture of gray on gray.

Technically it wasn't today, it was over the past two weekends, but I've been pretty busy. I have a new to me, 2004 Silver 4Runner Limited V8. Here's my list for the past two weekends: Installed Axxera 530 stereo Hardwired GPS Added 12V outlet below the radio Added 12V outlet to rear console...

Awesome... same site has the clear ones for the same price. I think this looks like my best option so far.

I have a 2004 with hazed front lenses and from the reviews I've read, the restoration kits last 3-6 months at best. I'd rather swap out the assemblies and do it right. My question is... I plan on doing quite a bit of driving on rural dirt roads, so I'm looking to get the best light output at a...
