    No offense but I think you should do something about that chrome. It doesnt match anything and kinda theows off the look of it. I think it would look bad ass if it matched
    Don't even complain! I have to tear apart my whole dash anytime I wanna do something! Half of the things don't even fit together anymore
    I agree. Get to it! Haha

    If Matt doesn't have his I can find mine. I don't have the amp. Just the tape and CD 2 piece. Just shipping as well.

    Chrome in the grille? Color matched to the blue? Do what with the emblem?
    I think I like the chrome just because it ties in the headlights and clear corners

    Either one works for me. Thanks a lot guys, sucks because my brother in law sold his for $10 right before I realized I would need it. I have my amp still so just the deck is fine.

    Dang....I was hoping they were Toyota's...and looking for anything bigger then 16". Want to do the Tundra brake swap. Thanks though!

    Hey buddy...why don't you grab a can of black Plasticdip (you can get it at Homedepot for $7). Paint your chrome grill to see if you like it or not. If not...just peal it off. No harm or foul...your only out $7!! Just an idea. Anyway, sweet lookin rig.

    Dude...I think you're missing something?? Wow...what are you doing??

    You don't have to have 17's. Lots of 16's work just fine. I will probably have a set of 5 16" ATX Mojave Wheels for sale soon. One is slightly bent (going to use it as a spare) but the others are fine. Trying to decide if I want to keep them or sell.

    I am going to start looking for a set of 16" 5 stars for the tbu.

    Well there was this tiny little rattle that happened once... Also, my vents were coated in dust. Took them all out and washed them. No more looking at dust through the vents! While I am at it I may as well do the blue/grey/yellow wire mods. And run power for my interior accessories. Lol

    I have a set with tires sitting in my backyard as a backup set in case I need to swap them out on my 4Runner. $350 seems like a lot to me unless they are mint. I bought mine with semi decent tires for $120.

    Honestly don't need to be mint for me as I will be painting them. Good to know on price point, just browsing on some of the facebook groups.

    Yeah I've always paid $200 or less for them or Tundra wheels. Granted I'm in the bay area which is saturated with 4Runner and tundras.

    Looks like we may be going from three 4runners to two 4runners + one Tacoma. 4 differential locks to 6. 1 supercharger to 2. Probably no V8. Nothing is set in stone at this point.

    What? A dual locked V6 taco would be freaking sweet, but that mean you're having the wife drive the 97?

    One may have a really strange clip. We will see what happens when I put it back together.

    I am doing the blue and yellow wire mod, clutch spring, and a fuse block. There was a rattle. I dont do rattles. lol

    Yeah, that is what I would pay for a set.
