Any interest in trading for a 2004 4Runner?

Thanks for the offer, but I already have a replacement 100 series that the sale proceeds need to partially pay for.

beautiful truck. I just bought a truck this weekend. Then saw yours.. I dig the wheels did the spacers ever make you nervous. I'm set of spacers away from doing my lx450. How did you choose 1.5 over 1 inch?

Thanks. Christo Slee recommended the Spidertrax spacers as a quality set that are well built and plenty strong. I think it also gets my tires to fill out the flares really nice and allows me to use the FJ center caps without modification. Once properly torqued, I have not had any issue with them but I still check the torques every 5000 miles just in case.
 
Sweet - and the ever elusive no OEM roof rack too! You should get a premium for that alone!

Which Pioneer head unit did you install and do you like it? Been thinking about upgrading my old Eclipse head unit for something with bluetooth, HD radio and XM built in. My Eclipse is so old I can't get the XM unit for it any longer.

Good luck with the sale - no rust CA truck should sell quickly!!!
 
Thanks, Brent.

The head unit is the latest Pioneer Appradio4.

It has the Apple CarPlay so it uses the iOS on my iPhone for most functionality...real slick so your Maps are web based and always up to date. I think you can get an add-on for Sirrius/XM. So far, I really like it and it has third party apps as well for any smartphone.
 
Sale pending.
