Great forum, wished I would have found it a long time ago, i've learned alot lurking and reading the FAQ. Mine '99 has proven itself many times in the aftermath of Katrina here on the Gulf coast. I've pulled vehicles out of ditches with ease with the diff lock, some I never thought I could budge, not to mention having to tow a trailer with 2 pallets of shingles that was probably 8000 lbs or more. Not something i'd normally do, but the cruiser did it without complaint or drama. Quite a few down here who don't think a L/C is so fluffy anymore.
Mine is all stock with 102K, so time for the belt and starter routine, which I had planned to do, but the dealer game me a reasonable quote today so may go that route. Bought it with 47K on the odo and its the best vehicle by far ive owned. Far superior to the GMC z71 I sold or my wifes X5 4.4 (though not as fast!)
I am installing the 06 Toyota Nav system (camry) next week, with xm and backup camera add ons, tired of getting in and out to hitch the tandem axle trailer i've had to tow almost daily. I can share what I run into installing that if anyone is interested, I will be adapting the nav to the factory 99 non-JBL amp, so it should be a challenge. anyway i'll try to avoid stupid questions and learn from you guys...
