Easy Weekend Mods

I removed an Air filter, thus clearing the Intake Air Path, If it boosted Performance everyone would do it, I did it for a little more Intake noise (Just like I did an Exhaust cut out, Purely NOISE, maybe a tiny power bump) and I live at a lot of Elevation, any extra air helps. I like it, and it was easy.

But thank you for the Input

It costs literally nothing to do. So if it gives you 'next to nothing' in the performance department its a win.

After some interwebs research while an aftermarket air filter like a K&N does provide some noticeable performance increases the Charcoal filter delete does next to nothing.

It seems though that these increases are most noticeable by K&N and those who have invested in the filter, not necessarily by objective measurement by independent parties. Another consideration is that engine tinkering isn’t what it was before manufacturers installed computers to micromanage every aspect of operation. Changes now have much more potential for unintended consequences.

Yes, It's not a must, but if you are a Racer like me and you want more noise, it is nice to do, but agreed, not a must. just something little you can do

Aftermarket Radio

I have a 2005 Toyota 4Runner SR5 and I want to put in a touchscreen Bluetooth radio. Are there any tips or suggestions for what brand I should get? I am just now beginning to do some mods.

I have a Kenwood DDX373BT and like it, but if I was doing it again, I would consider Sony and definitely get something with CarPlay if you have an iPhone. There’s a link to the install in my sig that may be helpful. Happy to answer any questions.

Solid Ipad Mounting

Ive never used the radio because i have an aftermarket bluetooth adapter. Its left on AUX and I just use the steering wheel controls. I wanted a screen for the radio but couldn't justify 500-800 for a Double Din with Apple Play. I wanted the abilities to use my offline terrain maps as i Use the 4runner for hunting and going out to places with no signal. My solution was purchasing a Used Ipad Mini 3 with cellular capability for $175 and custom making a solid mount. I looked at every option for Ipad mounting and none of them seemed good to me. The vent/CD/ Magnet options were all too unstable for when I go offroad. The Ram mounts and window mounts were solid but took up passenger room or window space. This was my solution. You do have to permanently alter the center trim piece but I keep vehicles until 250k+ so this wont change the value at that point. I am beyond pleased with the outcome. The Ipad is removable and the USB is hard wired to the factory fuses. So now I have a complete Navigation/ Music setup as well as an Ipad I can take when I get to my Destination. Let me know if this interests anyone and Il try to list the parts used. This this is SOLID and does not budge.

Really missed having vent visors on the 4Runner so I got a set and put them on. Really easy to install!

Ironic that visors would be mentioned today. I listed the ones I took off my ‘07 for free a while back but had no takers. Just tossed them this morning.
 
Wrapping the doors and a few center console pieces and dash to finish my interior color change from dark grey, light grey, and an ugly black. To
Matte black, Midnight purple, and chameleon.

Hoping the dash isn’t too hard to take a part. Pics coming soon.
