I got 16mpg on a recent trip with with friends. Bone stock 03 4X4 with V8. The trip was 1120 miles over a weekend. Kinda bummed because we all thought my 4runner would do better than a denali or durrango. It put up the same numbers as the full size suv's that we could've taken. Im running BFG...

The list for this car is endless. Ive a msd coil pack that Ive yet to install along with the 180 tstat. I can adjust the temp for the fans. I have coilovers waiting to go on. Wilwood brakes and a twinscrew 3.0L supercharger are all planned for next year. Then she is done until the motor needs...

Put my car( the only wagon of the day) on a dyno today for the first time. Ive only had time for bolt on modifications to this point. I figured I was puttin down 300hp. To my suprise it was 312hp and 388 ft/lbs of torque. fun day, here are some pics. She ran 312/388 with AFE CAI, CORSA...

Keep in mind that the colors really never look right through a camera. Plus its picking up all kinds of other light in the parking garage. Look into halogen infrared reflective(HIR) lights. Silverstars are carp. They appear brighter, but there not. Light shifted in the direction of blue is...

Hahahahaha. Thats what I said. It was a really sweet little car.

Its just a comercial dude. How tough guy were the tacoma comercials? Gettin spit out of a dragon monster thing or playing in WoW fighting monsters? Hehehhe. I dont feel macho in my t4r. I just feel like me. I do feel pretty good driving my tundra or magnum r/t around tho. Hehehhe

Here it is. Hehhehehe

Think 70's. Early. This thing came in and it sounded mean. A very aggresive tiny rasp. The color is kick @$$. Very sub lime. Keep guessing. Wheels are true to the era. Just one up in size.

I would guess that you are fine. If it doesnt stall or search for a idle, you're good. Stock motors can live in the 500 to 850 rpm idle.(warm) Cold idle is always higher to bring things into operating temps.

I had my other car in a little car show this morning. Ive seen and driven a lot of different cars in my life but never seen one of these. I love'd it. Do you know what it is? I didnt.

Somehow, I didnt need to see that video. I thought it would get better at some point. I was wrong. Sounds like a cool mod tho.

Thanks for the heads up on the door locks. We just bought our 03 and the locks bug. Ill prolly have the dealer redo them to lock at 8mph and one tap to unlock all.

Chargers are chit hot right now. Pitt will be cold with a week off plus roth hasnt practiced in a week. I like our odds. Go Chargers!

Up until recently the price for these was 40 bucks+ a bulb. Factor in their only made in Japan and only a handful of american cars even use the bulb as OEM. Not a lot of info. The low beam has a reflector(hood) that should spread out the beam a bit. Just like stock but a lot brighter. HIR's...

HIR's are your best bet period. Your 4runner needs 9006's in the lows and fogs and 9005's in the hi beam. These are 2X better than the SilverStar ultra's and cheaper now. Read on... Want to get great illumination without extra heat, wiring upgrades, relays, transformers, and blue tint? Want to...
