    This is news to me. Maybe my local guy did it unbeknown to me?

    Yes that is correct.

    So I turn it on when I’m stuck in traffic and when I occasionally hit the trails.

    Moog brand. After these are replaced I may end up moving into a Tundra at some point. But, if they go out again and I plan to keep the truck longer I may just pick up a set of dirt kings.

    Installed my rear 5100 kit this afternoon, 1.5hr job, not bad! Also my takeoff TRD Off-road suspension is for sale in the 2nd gen parts marketplace now. Only ~25k miles.

    Thanks, they look awesome, not too skinny at all. I’m pretty sure I’m going that size next time. Thanks again.

    Ordered a rockville under-seat 8'' sub/amp. My current 10" sub and box are taking up way too much room in the cab. I'm looking to maximize on space. Plus I don't need nor want a crazy amount of bass anymore. I feel this guy will give me a nice balance and compliment the dasaita HU and new pioneer 6x9s. Fits almost perfect under the driver/passenger seat. Tweeters are next...

    If you're considering buying Subaru tweeters then for another $30 you should consider Kicker 6x9 separates/components. The Subaru tweeter is actually a Kicker.

    I just put in new pioneer 6x9s. Another member recommend the Subaru tweeters too and didn't know it was the same as kicker. The tweeter installation looks like a freaking treat lol

    Drove it to work today since I was not quite done working on the Prius. Tonight I finished my EGR service on it. Removed, disassembled, cleaned, and reinstalled the EGR system on the car. It was an absolute pain in the ass! The toughest car project I’ve ever done.

    I sincerely hope the 4.0 does not have an EGR system that requires attention. I’ve never heard of it having this but my Prius project makes me wonder.

    I finished the Subaru (Kicker) tweeter install a few weeks ago. It was indeed a "treat". Just make sure you have time and some patience for the job. Super small tools (screwdrivers, etc.) also help.

    Slow build in progress..

    Added some tint, removed some stuff, TRD rims, 265 70/17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W..

    Still torn on what suspension/"lift" I'm going to go with.

    Yes black is a pain to clean/keep clean however, definitely the most rewarding when cleaned up. I am very pleased so far.
