While they look good at first, they still get dirty and are hard to clean unless you remove the wheel. Painting or buying colored calipers would be the best option. Our GTI came with red calipers in 2017 from the factory, and after 100,000 miles, they still look very red.
OK, finally finished the front grille camera install on my 25 4Runner SR5. I'm not a fan of the front camera style and will be doing something about that eventually, but it all works great and was an easy install.
I recently got this one. Easy install and not Toyota OEM, so we will see how long it lasts. But it is made of synthetic with padding and real stitching that attaches tight with no movement. I have an SR5, which had that durable rubber pad; I just did not like it, felt cheap. This new one seems...
I got the front grille universal mount one in black, but I am mounting it in the grille hole made for cameras. Pictures and video to come soon. The others only come in white. Note: I tried some cheaper cameras from Amazon and could not get them to work.
I haven't seen Beat Sonic do anything with the camera other than have it on their website. I just went for it, and the instructions with the harness are great.
This is to either view your approach angle to an obstacle or when you are pulling up to an object like a car. I will use it in diagonal parking spaces in the parking garage I use for work, because it is hard to judge how close I am getting to the concrete.
Updated with complete DIY video:
I bought the front camera from Beat Sonic. I have begun the install, but the weather is not helping. All I need to do is remove the front bumper and the mechanical louvers inside the grille so I can mount the camera properly. So here are some notes and...
Just installed SXTH and I love the turbo noises. I have been driving for a week and have zero codes. I tried to record the noises but had no success. Makes the 4Runner a blast to drive, like it needed that. LOL
Install SXTH
Unboxing and checking out quality
Hey all, I just uploaded two videos of the @SXTH Element Air Intake. One of the unboxing explaining what you get and the quality, and the second is of the complete install with some driving. The video of the driving does not give the Turbo noises justice. This intake sounds great and makes it a...
I don't think a pillow would solve the problem. It's likely the foam used in Japan versus Mexico. The seats are identical in the Tacoma and 4Runner except material and foam. The Tacoma seats are a lot for comfortable and have more give. The 4Runner seats are very sport like, similar to our GTI.
I wish someone would do this and video it. I did that to our 17 VW GTI and left the resonator. It sounds awesome driving in the city or Highway.
If I did a muffler delete on a 4Runner, I would leave that little resonator at the back, otherwise it would be too loud for everyone. That is...
My take. As an owner of a 25 4Runner SR5 and a 25 Tacoma SR5, both with different cloth seats, here is my comparison. Remember, one is made in Mexico and one in Japan.
We got the Tacoma first, and I loved the seats and the cloth material they used. They were similar to the 21 Tundra I sold...
I also have a Tacoma SR5 with the JBL Flex system from the factory. The head units have different numbers on them, even though they look identical. Have you seen the video at the beginning of this thread, maybe that will help a little. I am still trying to figure it out.
No update yet, the weather has been garbage in the southeast, but I will get to it. I was hoping someone would know how to find the wiring diagram for the JBL flex system.
Thank you, as soon as the weather clears, I'll start it. Should be very straight forward except running the camera wire through the firewall. I'm also installing an SXTH Element cold air intake this week.
