pan-less oil change As others have said, there is plenty of room to crawl under. If you replace your drain plug with a Fumoto valve, there is even enough room to put a milk jug under the valve and drain directly into the jug. I see you have the V6, which I believe is easy to change the filter...

transmission fluid questions Here's my 2 cents on some of the questions: 1. Is it ok to just drain and fill instead of flushing? It is probably fine. But really, flushing the fluid is easy, so why not? As amalik pointed out, you can only drain about 1/4 of the fluid through the drain plug...

additional notes for sealed trans with v8 Wanted to add a couple notes. Some of this is repeated from Mike's instructions about the non-sealed transmission. crush washer for drain and overflow: p/n 35178-30010 approx $2.50 Fill plug gasket (re-usable, but if yours is damaged): p/n...

car cover Hi, I sent you a private message. Thanks.

I have a number of items for a 4th Gen 4Runner for sale on Ebay including headlights, tail lights, overhead console (the one that holds the sunglasses and has the sunroof controls), a Bracketron bracket, and HID projectors. The HID projectors are obviously not from a 4Runner, I was going to do...

As mentioned in the previous post, it is definately a lot of work. I imagine it will cost quite a bit if you pay someone to do it since it is a lot of work. If the rattles are bugging you, they will continue to drive you crazy until you fix it. To get to the headliner, you need to remove...

I've noticed my door panels vibrate a lot also. I don't think I've had any rattles, but I've done a fair amount of sound deadening on my truck. I would suggest contacting the dealer. There is a fairly large area of fibrous padding between the door panel and metal behind it. Maybe the dealer...

No brilliant answers for you. But heres a picture that might help regarding support for a DVD player . It is the roof from the rear. I have the sunroof cover slid back. You can see there are braces running right to left, as well as the wide aluminum braces for the sunroof running front to...

I have an infinity 5 channel amp that I bought years ago for my previous car. I am planning to replace the scion HU with an aftermarket one so I can have pre-amp outputs. If you amp the scion HU, look for an amp that accepts speaker level inputs, or else you will have to use a line output...

1. I removed the bracket from the tweeter so there was room there for the crossover. I used one existing hole (like a mounting hole for the tweeter bracket) and drilled the other into the door. Its a small hole, and I just made sure there was nothing on the other side. 2. I believe the...

Thats right. You can use the factory plug if you want. In this case, the wires shown in the wiring diagram go into a connector. Just cut the cap and tweeter on the mating connector and put that into your crossover. In this picture, the bottom two wires in the crossover are from the door...

Regarding your wiring question: one set of wires comes from the HU into the door. They go to the tweeter near the top of the door where there is a capacitor. The capacitor and tweeter are in series. The wiring then goes down to the woofer which is in parallel to the tweeter and cap.

Don't forget to plan a method of securing the box to the truck. The box will be heavy, and you don't want it moving around, and least of all, go flying through the cabin in an accident. You may want to consider making the bottom piece a liitle longer to pick up the bolt from the cargo tie down...

couple questions: did you run 2 gage wire to your speakers? If so, did you have trouble getting the wire into the doors? Any problem getting 2 gage through the firewall? Also, you listed your 4CH amp power at 1ohm. Do you actually have a 1 ohm load from your kenwoods? If so, how did you do...

Front crossovers are mounted where the original tweeter was. My component tweeter is beside the woofer. Contrary to popular belief, having tweeters high in the door is not ideal. They should be as close to equa-distant from you, so low in the doors is preferred. The brown part from the...
