What did you do with your 4runner today?

Thinking about the 371 myself... Did you DIY?

Which brand install kit did you use? Amazon/Crutfield look like they each use a different one.
Do you have JBL?
Any issues?
Does it have camera input? I couldn't find anything on Kenwood's site and Amazon does not have the full specs yet.

No, had a local shop do it, with the Sirius module. I do not have JBL. I have a couple issues with the install, but the unit works well. Still figuring out playing music through Bluetooth, need to play with that somemore. Yes, it has a backup camera output. So far, very happy with this one.
 
After seeing LTDSC tc uca install, I got motivated so I finally intalled my camburg ball joint uca's:becky:

So my local town folk must think i am more crazy then usual today
As after 3" inches of rain in the last 24 hours, i am now at the carwash power-washing truck

So last night after having the truck sit for 6+ hours i check for leaks and then drive home in torrential rain
I aim for the buildup of massive puddles,Flooded streets, ect
Take out flashlight and check entire interior
Dry not a drip anywhere,
So she sits over night, pouring all night long
Get up this morning go out and check and she is dry
Now i head to power wash place and aim for sunroof, windshield trims, cowl area, wheel well, undercarriage
Not a drip from anywhere
So at this point i am going to put the carpet back down, as its almost dry now
That padding and chit takes a really long time to dry
So i am thinking its either a ac drain problem, or it just never dried out from the last snowstorms
When i bought the truck 2 months ago i didn't have any weathertech floor mats just a paper one dealership gave me
Then i got them i just put it over the wet carpet
So maybe it never dried out from them being as it was clod as f&$& for the last 2 months until 10 days ago

Thanks man. Good to know it has backup cam capability.

It's a jute pad so it'll hold moisture. I'd put a fan on it if possible maybe in a garage. Also do you have a sunroof? most times it's a clogged sunroof drain.

no garage, no driveway,and its just about dry now....i have had the carpet up for 3-4 days now......
and yes have a sunroof and its remarkably sealed....and i have previously tested the sunroof drains....a -ok
i have checked for coolant leak from heater core and piping....all looks well.....
so im thinking dry it out and put it all back together and call it a day......
well if it ever stops raining.....

How is everyone mounting say quick fists to your rear side plastic cargo panels???!?
I was thinking of just riveting them on?
Also the high lift cover does not fit with my slider adaptor installed
I might cut it or remove from jack
Idk,
i really want to leave it on the jack so might try cutting it or not using it

I'd highly recommend removing the plastic cargo panels and adding a metal piece behind it to distribute weight. You'd be amazed how weak the plastic gets with weight. Even for this tiny 7" long bar that I mounted my bag on, I put a 1.5"x1.5" square piece of metal to kind of distribute the weight so it wasn't focused on the 5/16" nut on the back side. I tore apart the entire back end of my truck to remove the panels to support the back side of this. I pulled the double deck system, I pulled the carpet, I pulled the little D-ring things next to the tailgate, I pulled the little plastic threshold... It took a lot of work

completed the brake job, stoptech slotted rotors all around, and hawk lts pads, adjusted the parking brake too, and it seems to hold. i hope this new set up is better than my old setup.

Kinda confused that the arrows are so far off from the zero mark but they read 0.0*.... Anywho, pretty damn good for frozen LCA bolts and stock UCA's

Debadged Toyota emblem and added one more Texas Edition badge. Slow 4runner day.
