Major Design Defect

Gee thanks - I had seen that with the spare tire, but had forgotten it. Now I won't be able to sleep tonight!

You bring up some other good points, but I think the thing here is that these are not readily apparent from the external.

True, but given the avatar you use, I thought you would be looking for such things! :D
 
And another thing . . .

is how the JBL 10 speaker system sounds sooo much better in the back seat. This is where the center of the music really is, and has a much better surround affect than in the front. At one point, I was going to move my driver's seat into a center rear seat position, but there were a few issues with things like the steering wheel & other controls. (Instead I did put a sub woofer under the driver's seat, and put a control on that glaring uncentered center speak - which helps some.)

I had a thread about this a couple years back, but some people thought I was perhaps a few pistons short of a complete engine . . .

Just get an 8 ft steering column with Brake and accelerator buttons in place of the audio control and you can be a back seat driver

I actually have frequent dreams about this scenario. That is, I find myself in a speeding car, and I'm the only one in it - in the back seat. It usually takes me just a little bit to realize my predicament, as I seem to think that this is the normal way to drive a car. However, I do know something is wrong, and grab hold of the steering wheel, from the back seat. For some reason (am I glued to the seat?) however, I don't seem to be able to get to the front seat.
:bugeye:
Now what aspect of my parental relationship would Freud say this is about?

And speaking of fore and aft asymmetry, why the hell is there only ONE "back up" camera for the rear? There should also be a "go forward" camera mounted on the front so I can see what is in front of me when my head is turned toward the back with a screen mounted in the rear. Make sense?

They addressed that with Lexus LX570, don't know if it's offered on the Land Cruiser.

But in that case, I'm ENTITLED to a free upgrade. Heck, I got Service Pack 4 with Windows 2000, and SP2 on XP, so c'mon Toyota where's my free upgrade? I want my camera upgrade pack.
 
ADMIN, make this thread a sticky.

....and lable it comic relief for when your T4R goes bad. Then Fox can buy the rights from us and make it a new reality TV show.

"4Runners who don't love their owners as much as their owners love them OR Those Centered Toyota Owners living in an Uncentered world."

Stay tuned in for the next episode of "As the 4Runner Turns".

:bonk:
 
hahahahahaha i love this stuff guys!

ill be on the show...i have a DLO transpod (i only use it as a charger now lol) and i had to change the station to 100.00 cuz it was bothering me that it was on a random number HA
 
And to really make the 4R symmetrical

the back end should be the same as the front end, with a swiveling drivers seat. This way you could pull into a parking space, and you wouldn't have to back-up to pull out! eh?

:dancin:

(Of course this also means you may windup with two uncentered center speakers . . . )
