    $125 is inexpensive, but that is not like how I had it done. I was going for the matching automotive quality of the paint on the truck. Top will be in use for many years, I wanted the paint to last a long as it does on the truck.

    The guy I talked to at Crutchfield said it could possibly be a compatibility problem. My phone is the iphobe7 and that was one thing I liked about the hu, the fact it was supposed to be so good to work with apple products. So I don't think it's anything like that, just a setting or something in missing. I'm gonna play with it tonight when I get time, so hopefully I can figure it out.

    If anyone needs an idea for a roof rack, built this for about $130 and it's rock solid.

    My works with Apple stuff but how do you use the features that work with the apps/ apple products?(if that makes sense)
    I've been using the generic Bluetooth for music because I'm not sure how to actually use the Apple combatibility

    I painted my cap for around $40 in materials last summer....and its already starting to look like shit.
    Considering cheap but long-lasting alternatives at the moment.
    How much did you pay to have it done right/where did you get it done?

    That's the only pre-made option I've seen at a reasonable price. I may get something and cut out the shape of the cold air.

    If you want the full 3", you're most likely going to need aftermarket UCAs. SPC light racing are good ones that don't break the bank. If that's the route you go, you'll want 887 coils and a 1.5" AAL in the rear. Stay away from blocks because those increase axle wrap.

    Another vote for customcargrills. As long as you take your time and are patient, it comes out pretty well. Not perfect, but pretty close.

    Mine was $450 at a friends bodyshop. All windows, stickers and weatherstripping was removed. Three coats of Toyota Silver Sky Metallic sprayed with 2 clear coats. It was baked on, 3 day rested and color sanded. Windows were reinstalled and new stickers and weatherstripping was ordered from Leer. I wanted a durable professional job that didn't look I painted silver over the orange Inferno canopy. We also added the Pop&Lock PL9555. Now the back glass locks with the rest of the car doors via the key fob.

    So many factors as to why this could be. Weather, tire pressure, gas pump cut off last fill up and dozens more. I have had those shortfalls too. Never could really determine why as I would get good results right after.

    Ya i'll run another tank and see if it continues. Just odd. Checked the tires and they are all good to go.

    On another note, had my local dealership look at my leaky transfer case. As they do their typical checks when any work gets done they marked my rear tires at 4mm... I bought them just last year and can get my whole thumbnail in between the tread. I didn't question it and just left. Dealerships, dealerships, dealerships...

    I'm not picky. Either round mesh or the small perf flattened oval mesh. I like both and I haven't decided which I like more yet haha
