    I hear ya... I had a lot of ALAC and 320AAC back when I still had an iPod classic. When that finally died and I couldn't find a suitable replacement (storage wise) I started using open source and one of those FiiO players. I miss that iPod Classic, it was the only music player I owned that could properly drive my headphones without a separate headphone amp.

    Used the KBS undercoating kit 2 years ago. Holding up ok. Fluid filmed this year. Next year thinking about taking it all off and doing it again. Might keep up with 2 year system if it seems to work. That and more regular cleaning of the underbody.

    Ran them on my last truck. That is one looooonnnng wearing tire. Had 45k on them when I sold it. No doubt they would have made it 65k.

    So even then a 320 MP3 file would give better quality over wav? Or what's the verdict...
    I hate those too #PrivilegedWorld #70DegreesIsWinter

    I like the cold, just not the -5 we've been having. But 20 is fine, I don't like a lot of heat, the cold is the price we pay for having amazing scenery

    Yeah, I love these classics too. Before they disco'd them I started to collect a few knowing they were going to stop manufacturing them.

    I have three. Plus a few extra 160 gig hard drive replacements and two batteries. I'm hoping I can make these last for another 40-50 years :)

    I'm open to any abbreviations.
    here I am with an iPhone 5s with 16gb that has 0 mb of space left. I have an old itouch with 32gb but don't like the idea of keeping it in the truck for music, plus it has the old charging port which I don't own any USB cable for.

    wav is the best by far over any of them. But take up a lot of space.

    Discount Tire. Free lifetime rotations. And air is free, plus mostly highway driving on these.

    I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't seem to find anything about it, does anyone know where you could find a clear lens for the door courtesy lights? All of my interior is white led including these but the lens is red. I got in contact with a company called klearz and they said they wouldn't make them for me because they felt like it wouldn't be something that they would sell anyone else. If anyone knows someone that makes them or could please let me know

    improved toyota goodness.
    123hp according to the local dyno here... 300 would seem very nice indeed!



    change of subject... I haven't ben on in a while...

    the audio quality of satellite is slightly sub par but if wired direct (vs. going with the FM trans it comes with) to the back of the stock head via the 12 pin CD changer port (I will see if I can find a link) it is still better than the stock CD deck and speakers are on any good day

    I personally like satellite on long trips because I don't have to change stations when I go between two ridges... and @m3bassman, mine is free last I checked :D I was lucky and got a radio for $69 with lifetime subscription included back in 2009 right before circuit city closed and everyone quit offering it...

    2.5 lift, the usual that goes with it. Work in progress.
    Did some welding on the bumper and trimmed the inner fenders a bit tonight.

    Blower motor is chirping and squeaking. Take apart and clean/ lube, or order a new one?

    They will order them for you if you pay in advance. It took them a day to get them from San Antonio to here.
