I wish it was that easy, but I can definitively rule out the roof rack. I don’t have one, aside from my Thule setup, which hasn’t been on since winter.

Taking a long shot here in the hopes that someone has had and fixed this noise, since it's driving me insane. Right above my ear, somewhere around the top of the B pillar, I have a creaking noise. It gets worse and better, but never goes away. It definitely seems to be a metal on metal thing...

Those are correct for the belt moldings.

Window run channel is the rubber around the window opening that the glass edges slide in. Belt molding is the trim piece on the outside of the door that touches the entire face of the glass as it moves up and down. By the way, if it's the belt molding that you are replacing, you don't need to...

I assume you are talking about the window run channels. When I replaced mine, I did have the door panels off, but never needed to remove any of the glass. I order most of my pats from Conicelli Toyota / Partznet, partly because they have good pricing, and also because shipping to NJ is usually...

Looking to see if someone can confirm the part # for the brake fluid level sensor for a 1996. I'm coming up with 84460-60020 for the cap with the sensor, at a list of about $140. Seems like the sensor is only available with the cap. I couldn't find a good diagram to verify that was correct, and...

They are Punch P16 in the rear doors, and P16S in the front. Neither went in without modifications, and neither use the factory grills. For the rears, I had to cut the metal of the door out larger, and had to make a spacer out of 1/4" MDF to sandwich between the door and door panel to make sure...

When I bought my 80, the PO had already installed a Pioneer Avic 5200. I've had a few of the Avic units in other vehicles and have generally been happy with them, so felt no need to replace it. He did, however, have it running through the factory amp and speakers, which sounded pretty bad. My...

I replaced mine when I did my shocks. I think it was less than $60 for the pair from Toyota.

With a little time and the tools, anyone could do it. The only thing I bought was a new holesaw for the tweeters - I think it was 1 3/4". I already had one, but it's sharpness was questionable at best. One tip - when you use the holesaw on the door panels, start with the drill in reverse. That...

No pics of the install process, just the finished product. My definition of easy might be skewed based on experience....I was a car audio installer back in my younger years. (Somewhere around the time when these trucks were new) The model I used for the fronts is just P16S. The nice thing about...

LOL....I will freely admit that the grill design played a bigger part in my speaker choice than it should have. I turned out to be really happy with the sound of the speakers, so all is good. I liked them enough that I ended up moving the P16s to the back doors and installing the component...

Add me to the list of "will buy when ready." Drove about 250 miles yesterday, and I can't tell you how many times I went to check the outside temp.....which of course isn't currently displayed anywhere. Too used to it from my other two vehicles and really need to add to the LC.

This may be stating the obvious, but fishing wires pretty much anywhere in the interior is easier than running additional wires into the doors...which you will have to do if the crossovers are mounted anywhere but in the door. I'm speaking from recent experience, as I just ran new speaker wires...

Here you go. I'll be painting them to match sometime over the next week.
