What do you have still waiting to be installed?

Been wrenching for 30+ years, not in a hurry to toss things on right away. As a federal first responder I don't have the luxury when a emergency comes around.

 

Perhaps they live in cold areas.

And/or don't have garages.

Maybe it's been raining for months.

Or snowing.

Or they have children.

Maybe those children are involved with school and sporting activities that require a lot of after school and/or weekend time.

Maybe they have activities they like to do that has precedence over wrenching on shit.

Or maybe all of these at the same time.

 

Well aren't you something eh

 

Two things:

1) The ECGS bushing replacement kit has been sitting on my bench for a few months waiting for the rain to stop. Originally was supposed to be a pre-emptive move, but am getting the resonance from the front in 2WD indicating it's time.

2) Have been living with shitty sound for a year even after doing major work to install an amp (AudioControl D-4.800), sound deadening, and a sub. Have concluded that head unit has hopelessly poor signal quality. Went to do some tweaking on the DSP last week and the serial port on the amp is now not working. Frustrating. Would advise others seeking better sound to either deal with the POS that it comes with or dump the HU altogether.

@Doglover2003 What do the OEM flip open pocket cover under AC control looks like?

 

it’s kids for me. I have to do everything on weekend mornings IF there is not a game or other event we are doing. I only have a short list again. Plano case and shovel mount on my pro rack (it’s about $60 in parts from a hardware store, a Plano rifle case and some Yakima mighty mounts) and my FJ Toyman shock mount sliders. That will do it until I break something else, or figure out I need something for function.

 

Great feedback, thank you.

 

I’m convinced by those that “get it done” don’t have a life.

 

@Nano909 if you don't have children, which I hope you do they're the best, then just stop now with this

 

Sure

 

Every ones priorities are different. And honestly, working on my vehicle isn’t my top priority. I have shit from when I had my taco still sitting around, and could careless, today.

 

I hear that! Working on my vehicles is one of my least favorite things to do. I almost regret buying a lift, because I'm dreading installing it.

I used to enjoy wrenching when I was a kid, but I'm over it now.

 

2020+ headunit going into my 2015 SR5 PREM non-JBL. Just waiting for the headunit to arrive and the transplant harness.

 

Whoa!

That's a pretty pricey option, no?

 

There's a reason some members end up on the ignore list.

 

If you buy brand new, yes. I bought a used option. Still pricey I think but would be similar to an aftermarket headunit. I wanted a bigger screen and android auto but also wanted to keep it OEM so I was willing to pay a bit more.

 

I am really interested in the new Alpharex Nova G2 for my 22 4runner. Have you installed and was the process any different for a 21+ 4runner? I am hoping that the DRL can be turned on and off within the vehicle on the light controls. I would love to see install pics if you have em.

 

I haven't installed yet but they have you pull power from the INJ fuse in the underhood fusebox for the DTRL. To me this seems like they will be on anytime the ignition is on.

 

Only took me reading 2 of their posts for me to click that good ole ignore button.

 

I'll get a picture when I get home from work

 

I did this when I was younger because I couldn’t afford to get it done. I never touched suspension, but my dad had me do my own brakes, carburetor rebuild, muffler replacement, alternator rebuild kits, brake master cylinder replacement. Cars were easy to work on back then, but hard lessons. Burned my finger prints off on my left hand as I had no idea at 10yrs that mufflers got hot. Now I try and wrench to save money and do it right. Experienced dealerships saying they’ve done work when they haven’t.

 

i dunno. you’re the one who showed up in here ass hurt about people not installing their stuff.

 

My Hella rear fog light.

 

@Silversr5 Here's the oem flip open pocket cover. I believe it was on the older 5th gen 4Runner but Toyota deleted it to save cost

nobody is hiding the simple fact that stuff needs to be installed. its what the topic is in here. sucks your feelings are hurt because you’re back in here defending your whining.

 

Thanks for the pictures. Do you have the part number for it? I might look into doing this mod now.

 

I got a few pictures of the part number:

 

Thank you

 

i’m beginning to realize you’re looking for something with all the questions you keep asking. hoping maybe you got to me or insulted me somehow. so let me help. if accusing me of being unable to wrench helps you feel better i’m all for it man. i will avoid the manhood thing. that’s just weird.

 

Now have some OEM LED fog lamps to install. Hopefully I can figure out how to wrench soon before someone says I can’t.
