What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

Front and rear is on my list of things to do…..

 

I already have the back one but I’m going to wait for this ungodly SW Florida heat to taper off before I tackle that one .

 

I love that decal! Where did you get it ?

 

K02's in 265/70 17 Load range C

FYI, there is a $60 mail in rebate now.

 

Replaced the front Toyota on my grill. Posting this because in case anyone is thinking of ordering the letters from cartrimhome in black, well they're not black..lol.
They're more like the MGM color which I didn't mind since my runner is MGM, so buyer beware if you're wanting these letters in black like I did. They fit great though.

 

Interesting, 3.5” driver w/ tweeter. I do audio visual by trade, I’m down for a little custom mounting. Following you for future.

 

I have a buddy who works for a local body shop and I’m giving him $150 bucks to install them the money I’m saving on the parts almost offset the cost of installation…..

 

I would have done the same if I had someone to trust to do a good job .

 

Same here in AZ. I have a laundry list of projects waiting for cooler weather.

 

What about the guys that have a JBL system which is in the Limited models. Does this still apply?

 

This will completely change the way your 4runner audio sounds. I went ahead and swapped speakers all around with matching Infinity reference. All plug and play, and now it's worthy of an audio system that should exist is a 50k plus vehicle. I did add some sound deadening while I had the door panels off. Did not stop the outside noise but greatly improved the vibrations and door feel. My amp/subwoofer days are over so this is as good as it gets for me.
I do spend an awful lot of time and energy into reading and identifying integrated amps, dacs and speakers for my home audio.

 

Nice! Which Infinity did you get, and can you point us to the bracket?

Is that speaker plug-and-play, or is there an adapter needed?

 

Looks like mine

Where did you get the wiring harness adapter? I do see the mounting bracket on Etsy.

 

Its been a few months so can't remember where specifically, but its a Red Wolf speaker harness adapter. You plug the factory harness into it, then this to the new speaker. It comes really long so I shortened mine down as there's only so much room in the dash. The only somewhat tricky part is you have to solder the inline blocker into the harness (supplied with the new speakers). It will end up looking like this.

 

I replaced the stock dash speakers with these:

They're a noticeable upgrade and you can use the stock brackets. I just had to splice the wires on the harness that Crutchfield supplied.

 

Just replace speakers or did you amp them too?

 

Not a lot of good spots to stick a phone on this dash. Drilled a 1/4" hole for a $5 17mm ball, three minute job. Pardon the dirt.

 

No, just replaced the speakers.

 

I noticed mine don't seem loud. I'll prob hit up the audiophiles for some guidance. I def want a stealthbox. Loved the one I used in my taco. Still have it.

 

Trying to figure out where to mount my steelie. Might get the cupholder one

 

Or could use the Tension mount for the bottom of the AC vents

 

Just ordered, thanks! I assume it will come with instructions on where to wire the capacitor?

 

they remove what im going to describe as the jumbling of the treble/midrange of the OE speakers. With some settings adjustments the OE HU will do a better job of separating the treble and midrange.

 

Did you mean, worsh?

 

worsh* correct

 

Drove '23 to work n filled up with gas
