Whats up guys? I am a newby to the site and just wanted to say hello. I have a few questions about my 4Runner. I just got it at the end of August before I went back to college; I couldnt stand driving my riced out accord anymore. Anyways, I know this is a dumb question, but I cant figure out if my 4Runner is an SR5 or a limited. It is an automatic '97 4Runner with the 3.4L engine and has the SR5 badges, but all of the perks that came with the Limted edition (leather seats, 3 cd changer, etc.) The previous owner said that the SR5 was the top model made in '97, but I thought that they also made the Limited one too.

Also, quick stereo question (I apologize if this has already been brought up in another thread, I havent had much time to read through them yet). I am looking to replace the the stock door speakers with the Infinity Kappa 63.5i's (6 1/2" 3-way speakers), but am unsure as to what size they are. If they are smaller than 6 1/2" (which I think they are), how hard would it be to modify the panel to make the new speakers fit? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys and have a great Christmas!

 

no idea on any of your questions, but welcome to Yotatech.

 

not so sure about the speaker question... but i have a 97 Limited so the SR5 isnt the top model for that year. Merry Christmas! (i cant believe im on this forum on xmas eve lol)

 

I actually have the Infinity speakers in my car, the 6 1/2's fit perfectly, the rear unfortunantly are 4" but the place I took it to custom fit a 6 1/2" inifinity set in there as well. It sounds really good by the way, and welcome.

 

christmas eve isnt too bad rowdy, im here at 2 a.m on christmas day.. what am I thinkin? lol anyway... 97supra, how did you fit 6.5 into the rears I would like to know more about this because i want to do the same... right now i have the 4 inch infinitys but would like to move the 6.5 coax to the rear and replace the front ones to some components, PM me with some instructions or sumthin thanks...Merry christmas


Oh, and welcome to the site H-SC

 

Do you have the painted fender flares or the plastic black ones? If they are the more basic flares then it's an SR5,the Limited's had the nice wider painted flares til '00 then the SR5s had them also.

 

Check out Steve's website. He was able to put a pair of 6 3/4" Polk speakers in the rear doors.

 

yea, its the rears you need to worry about. i just stuck 4 inchers in there and replaced the fronts with alpine component speakers.. they sound good enough, till i get a sub.

anyway, the previous owner is a lying jerk ...they always made the limited & sr5s for every 3rd gen model year. in 99 & 00 they added the highlander edition, which became the sport edition in 01 & 02.

 

Thanks for the help guys. Hopefully, now that I have some $$, I can get those speakers done. Hope yall had a great Christmas!
