What did you do with your 4runner today?

Went to flag pole with some fj's

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

Signed up for the lifetime firestone alignments

Why Firestone? I went to the Toyota dealership and talked to a few service guys. They said to have firestone crossmatch everything and that the caster needs to be closer to 2.8…..one of them said it CAN be done, the techs are being lazy.
They also told me about radial pull so I switched but won't say anything unless they mention it, but thats not the problem since it still pulls hard right.
Tomorrow Im going back over there with my new info and if they don't get it right Im getting my money back.

They've been good to me so far, certainly no issues like that! I've gone there a few times and have had good alignments every time. It's just down the street too, so it's not a huge inconvenience to get it redone.
 
I was curious why you went and got an alignment before your arms show up lol


Seeing if it was still able to be aligned for now with frozen LCA bolts, or if I had to plan on replacing them when I tear apart my front end to install the new Eibach's, UCA's, and inner/outer tie rods.

But I guess according to some people, I'm a retard and have no common sense... And I really don't care :rofl: It's amusing how childish some people are :)



Today I bought a lifetime firestone alignment.
 
Met with Atlanta 4runners for a leisurely mountain ride

New radio. Replaced my factory headunit and add on Sirius unit with a new all-in-one Kenwood. The installer even included a parking brake override for the DVD player. :)


You know all he did was ground the light green wire as they were wiring up the radio right? Kenwood doesn't require anything special to bypass DVD unlike alpine.





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.

Amazon is not a authorized retailer. I am though lol, you can go on Kenwood website to see who is a authorized retailer. I wouldn't get the 371 since the 491 is the same thing except it is a excelon unit that means it has 2 year warranty 5 volt preout and remote control included. I just sent one to [MENTION=73750]Dusty Driftwood[/MENTION]. Ask him how he likes it. Sent him the radio and all the accutriments to install it, steering wheel controls, wire harness, dash trim pieces, camera and I have Sirius units in stock too.

Pm me if you need prices or questions.

Confession time. The Kenwood would be going in my wife's '12 Grand Caravan.

I thought Pioneer for my 4R because I wasn't happy with my last Kenwood. I was disgruntled with my KDC-X994 because it required a bunch of bullcrap software to make playlists or perform file conversion for MP3s. Don't remember what it did exactly, I just know it didn't dragnddrop and play straight from any USB.

I'm thinking about going back to a single-DIN Pioneer for my 4R. I don't need the big screen. Unfortunately entry-level Pioneer 2DINs don't have a volume knob, they have a button, which I don't like. So yeah, PM me if you want because I'm in the market for two.
 
Kdcx994 is 4-5 years old so compared to the new stuff it's light years ahead.

I'd roll double din even if it was the cheap ones. Larger easier to read screen. I'm getting old, don't know about you lol. Also full line phone dealer to :)
 
Kevin at Toytec has provided some incredible customer support! They've gained my business in the future. Awesome company.

Can't wait for my powder coater to finish those and my icon springs!

For the prices they request it better come with half decent customer service
 
Pioneer AVH-X5600BHS with PAC TATO, ASWC, Scoche mount. I even soldered & used heat-shrink like a real pro!

Left to do:
Microphone
Backup Camera
Finish ASWC install - I got to the point where I'd have to splice into the factory harness. I need to do a bit more research first. So I have to be a rookie and actually use the buttons on the radio instead of the steering wheel. Who knows, I may just hire out the rest of the work.

april fools day convergence!!!,......the odds of this occuring naturally again anytime soon is slim :reddance:
parked @ work, dude with an 06 comes and parks, another dude with 04 sport completes the convergence! :)

have like 5 galactic gray trucks @ my work place, but we have never been able to achieve this.
think the 06 with satoshi is the coolest, followed by my 05 sr5 with plastidipped grille and spec d angeleyes, and then the 04 sport :lookout:
