Brand new owner with a few simple questions

[shomann]

First, thanks to the forum! I have been lurking here in anticipation of moving in the T4R community by end of summer, but found a deal I found impossible to pass up yesterday:

(There will be more pics to come, and I have certain...plans )

It's a 2006 V6 Limited in Shadow Mica. I was actually shopping for a Sport Edition, but the price, 1 owner status, and being Toyota Certified sealed the deal. I traded in a 2002 Lexus GS 430 for it, so I am not a complete noob about Toyotas

First question:
Where would I be able to find a OEM coin holder? It seems like a simple thing, but I really would love to have a dedicated holder. It seems to be the ONLY thing missing from this truck

Second:
On the Lexus, we had a table of electronic settings for all the little things like door locking, alarm, etc called C-Best. I know the 4-Runner has something similar, but is there a handy table floating around out there I can refer to?

Thanks!

Congratulations on the great deal and welcome to the 4Runner world!:hello: What are your plans?

That was quick! Thanks Dawg!

Moderate lift/leveling. Better AT tires. Not sure if I want to swap the 18"ers out - I actually like the look quite a bit. Definite stereo and multimedia upgrade. Possible cargo rack with lighting that's one-plug removeable. Definite HID retrofit.

I know I will sacrifice mileage for some of this, the trick is, I don't want it to suffer much (and I may be deluding myself).

Not sure what you mean by the electronics.

Welcome to 4Runner ownership and modding heaven.

Nice to see you getting active on this board Dave. :bigok:

Once you get the coin holder figured out start the mods. You are on the right track with what you are thinking. I highly suggest a Magnaflow Cat Back exhaust system. I get turned heads whenever I push the throttle!

You know, like being able to set the door locking states, the way the keyfob works when you push the keys on it, etc.

For instance, the default state when press the lock key is for the car to freak out and whine at you until you close the door. Once you do that, the car stays UNLOCKED. I would much prefer a long tone that stops, then once you close the door, the car locks itself. (My Subaru Legacy was this way and while it may be easier to lock the keys in the car, it is far more intuitive)

Here is the C-Best table for the 2nd Generation Lexus GS 300/430:

Even for a 6cyl? The last car I drove had the V8 you now use (although the displacement was lower, the power was higher ). Yes, that would sound epic, but I didn't want the V8 this time around
