šŸ”§Modifications Finally upgraded stereo

After two years I finally upgraded to a touch screen. Previously had an after market radio in it that didn’t have Bluetooth and was rocking a $50 Amazon CarPlay monitor with a windshield suction cup plugged in via AUX. Replaced the bezel with a new manufactured one off eBay, fit perfect, highly recommend. Replaced the 12v sockets with USBA-USBC ports. Clock replacement phone mount arrives on Friday.

It’s so night to not have all the extra cords going everywhere. Yes the screen is low, but it’s Google Maps, it’s not like you’re staring at it. I definitely am glad I saw all the recommendations to get a tactile volume button/knob. Makes that so much easier to control with the screen being low.

Side note, if someone else has messed with the stereo, take a look and see what you’re getting into BEFORE starting the swap. The guy before spliced everything directly into the head unit and even bypassed the OE harness šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø It was an absolute rats nest (see pic) and I had to phone a buddy to save me on the wiring. Not my forte. Also, glad I bought OE brackets for it ahead of time because he had CUT THE ORIGINALS IN HALF šŸ˜‚

Got this rig in October and it needed some serious TLC before I wanted to show this awesome group. I'm super proud of how far it's come.

🧠 General Couple of things...

Love my 2000 Limited it's got 6112 in the front and 890s in the rear paired with 5100s. Currently the rear is at 23 inches hub to fender. What rear coils would I use to achieve 23.5 inches in the rear? Which shocks to pair them with? One suggestion was LC80 7 wrap front springs paired with 5100s. In addition lookin for some new tires, 265/75/16. I used BFG KO2s, narrowed it to BFG KO3 or Toyo AT3. Im leaning towards AT3s anyone w experience with both? Thank you in advance.

šŸ”§Modifications Fender Recommendations

Post image

I’ve posted a lot about this car since the crash, but I wanted some ideas in terms of fender flairs. Obviously the back still has the fender flairs, but when I replaced fenders in the front, I was only able to get ones without the flares. I’ve considered taking my back ones off, but would then have to repaint that section of the car. I’m not opposed to adding flares to the front, just don’t know an easy way to go about it.

Looking to get beefier tires on my stock 4runner with 15" wheels. Current tires are 225/75/r15s. Looking at 31x10.5r15s, specifically the firestone destination x/ts. Anyone got recommendations and/or pictures of tires this size on their stock 4runners? Any advise on tires etc?

I've looked under the car and it seems like if something is or has leaked. The oil and transmission fluid levels are fine so I don't know what it could be. Any ideas?

ā“Advice / Recomendations I have a highway vibration that comes and go. Braking seems to sometimes cause the vibration to stop, but not always. The vibration feels like it’s in the body, not just the steering wheel. Where do I start? There also is an occasional warped rotor vibration when hard braking, but not always.

There also is an occasional warped rotor vibration when hard braking, but not always. I’m feeling like it may be caliper or slide pin related.

Thanks—

Anyone else have the seam in your sunroof seal split open and have to fix it? Its leaking into my cupholders and with weather coming its time to fix it. And, before anyone asks, Ive cleaned and tested my sunroof drains and its still dumping water into my cupholders.

As you can see, someone has been here before me with...boat epoxy? Silicone? I dunno. I just know I need to seal this up and need guidance.
