I’m very curious to know how that JL mini sub works out

We used this one: https://a.co/d/0wGTUmx
3 x total... 1 x medium hold and 2 x light hold. It's self-leveling too...
Sorry took me a minute to respond! Good luck!

Just a couple months to get it done 
… tax season ended last night and this was unfinished business. Looks 
great… super stoked. @SkeeLo22 lent an extra set of hands to wrap it all up!! Gonna take it to a professional to “tune” the system but no rattles and I have the full way-back now with the sub on the side.
Still having an issue with my driver rear window… the up button makes it go down and the down button doesn’t do anything
replaced master with OEM new from some Middle East country but that didn’t fix it.
Also made sure all the connections in the door were correct and tight prior to closing her up. More troubleshooting another day. For now that rear switch getting some blue tape over it

I’m really curious about the armrests (have them saved from another thread).
A) are they super rad or what?
B) how do they attach?
TIA

They hang… hook over the door sill, and there’s a magnet that holds them in place fore and aft so I thought since they’re for 70-series that they’d stay better when there isn’t a full door card and bare metal instead (like 70-series) but I have some adjusting to do, because they move a lot now…
Also may find a more permanent solution to holding them tight against the door…
As far as functionally though, 10/10… arm rest AND a cup holder.
I think there’s a knock-off that isn’t $350 like these were… seen it in the FB groups.

If you think about it and it’s convenient, would you mind showing the backside of it? I’d appreciate it.
...and please @jesus888 , don't show us your backside. There's been enough Plumber's Crack for one day.

These are what I had saved:
70 Series Landcruiser Armrest: Brown Full set (driver + passenger side)
Passenger and driver side armrest and cupholder (PAIR Note: fits 73/75/76/78/79 series landcruiser. Except kzj78 with the upholstery on the door sill, slight modification needed. Can be made to fit 40/60/80/100 series and GQ with some minor changes to the bracket

My hood… one of the last little things that bugs the &$/@?#% outta me… I have the little hood rubber grommets as high as they’ll go while still allowing for the hood latch to catch.
I’ve confirmed that I have the bumpers on the sides…
What am I missing? When it’s windy at all or I’m driving 65+ on the highway my hood, on the sides is jumping all over the place. The video is just one side and not too bad of an example but when one sides moving, the other is too, and while I don’t think the hoods gonna fly up (bc it’s definitely latched fully), it’s super distracting/annoying.

Well, it really looks like the front bumpers aren’t adjusted as high as they could be.
When you have the hood closed can you wiggle it up and down?
I kept at it until the wiggle was gone, my hood doesn’t do that at all. Granted, I have to slam it closed.

The biggest thing is adjusting the height of both the latch and the front corner bumpers in tandem. You want it to latch so the edges of the hood align with the top edge of the fender panels, but also be tight against the bumpers. It won't make as big of a difference but, you could also replace the bumpers along the sides of the engine bay. The two I see in your photo are broken. They're available new from Toyota and fairly inexpensive.

Remember... I think we adjusted the latch in the center too low... so the bumpers can't go any higher. I think I gotta make the latch in the middle higher and then adjust those bumpers up I guess... like you said, I'm a fcukin moron
BUT I know it's gotta get fixed!!!!Similar threads
