    First 4runner I've owned. 2000 sr5. Nice and rusty from Pa.
    Today I finally got he 4wd working properly thanks largely to all the posts on this forum. So while testing the 4low in my yard it blew a brake line on the passenger side.....rusted out. Next weekend I'll be doing all the front brake lines. Rear will come soon after.

    Being dissatisfied with the aggressive character of the traction control systems I installed the AndyMod 2.0 mod. Directions on the forums and Youtube made assembling the correct components and wiring the relay and momentary switch (from Toyota Avalon purchased via ebay) a breeze.

    Installed a Sony XAV-9000ES head unit, last time I installed a car stereo was around 1988. This was an easy job and took me maybe 3 hours because I had to run and hide three wires under carpet and behind trim panels, my head liner is still out though and that made it easier too!

    I'd say an experienced hand could possibly do this job in 30 minutes if your familiar with your 4Runner and have done one or two stereo's before it's that easy.

    Have these coaxial's to install in rear doors then I'm waiting on funds for front speakers, amp and sub.
    Already this HU sounds 100% better than the junk I removed but does become fatiguing with the stock junk speakers.

    When I put everything back together the clock didn't work any longer, Went to take it apart the next day and see why, this happened! Toyota has a dummy plug right next to the real plug. Why would they do that?

    I saved the piece's and figure I will try to glue them but won't I see a terrible line. Either way they want a fortune for those plastic bezel's! And I don't have a limited like my details say I do.

    They’re quite common at the junkyard if you’ve got a pick and pull by you

    Installed the Spiker Engineering hood struts

    Instead of tie wrapping my washer line per the instructions I just disconnected the top hose and routed the bottom hose behind the bracket then reconnected
