1st mod, less than a week old

Window tint - a must here in sunny Flori-duh. Front 2 windows are the legal limit - can't see in any of the back windows. Easy target if you go too dark up front.

 

Wow, 48K in 5 years...time to drive that puppy...

After 1 year and 17K my firsts were:

Correction: What was I thinking, first mod was 265/75/16 Cooper Discoverer S/T

Last night before having to be at work I stopped in at the Schucks auto parts store to price and maybe order a K & N FIPK. I got to the counter and told the kid I wanted to get a K & N fuel injection performance kit. He said "huh"? He got out his K & N book and I showed him what I wanted. Then he couldnt find the part number or price. He starts telling me there isnt one for a 91 so i said well then look up one for up to a 95. He looked at me like I was stupid. So there I saw it from across the counter and he's still looking. I reached over and pointed that that is the part and part number I want. So off to the pricing guide he goes and quotes me $306.00 :pat: Uh no! I have looked these up both online and in shops before and know that they are around $220.00. So I just told him I forgot my credit card and I would be back but hell no I am not going back. I swear those stores need to ditch the highschool kids and give people with brains the jobs. Blue

 

I thought they were all ASE Certified?

Blue-

You should just get an adapter and a universal K&N that will fit the adapter. I think ebay has them for $10 shipped. The K&N will be an additional $40 or so.

Just an idea.

That guy was on crack!

 

i already have a drop in K & N that I paid $50 for. I actually need to just get in gear and do the intake silencer removal mod. I would be saving around $200 if I do. Yeah I seriously HATE going to parts stores. Everythings over priced, the tards are well umm tards, the parts tend to be wrong and I just get pissed over stupid stuff. Ebay has proven itself the best parts store lately. Blue

 

Service: fluids, plugs and wires.
Mod: Deckplate/Amsoil Filter
Toy: Cobra CB and Firestik

 

First thing I did was put on a brushguard



Curious - does chaning the oil so quickly on a new car do somthing special?

 

I just didnt trust whatever mystery oil they put in it. Its less to worry about for me if I put in what I want in mine. Plus who knows if the dealer shop let ALL of the oil drain or if the oil filter was even changed. Things like that are why I do it my way. Blue

 

Good point, next new car I get I'm chaning the oil right away.

 

Riced it out with clear bumpers/corners. Tsk Tsk... I was such a n00b.

 

when i bought the 4Runner it NEEDED new tires, so within the first few weeks i had on the OME and spacer lift and 285 Dueler MTs.

 

i bought my head unit today...



at last. gets installed on monday the 9th.

 

at first glance i thought that was the same unit as mine... I hate how Alpine makes them all so similar. Is that mp3? mine has the mp3 but only the 50Wx4 amp instead of the 60Wx4 V-drive that i wanted. (cda-9811)

What speakers are you pushing that through?

 

it looks cracked on the right. Is that really a crack or a cieling fan reflection? Blue

 

hahah.. ceiling fan reflection.

that unit went for $399 at tweeter ($350 or so online) in 2003... now that its a 'discontinued' model i got it for $210.

60w x 4, mp3 / xm capability.

cant wait to put it in.

 

nice. Make sure you wire that like you would an amp. I've heard some horror stories of those V-drive alpine amps tearing some people's stereo wiring up. Don't connect it w/ the normal power wire in the harness.

 

Service-tune up, change oil, etc.

Mod-remove licence plate with dealer name on them. I don't believe in free advertising for anyone my my vehicles.

 

K&N Drop In Air Filter... boy, was I disappointed. I expected like 20 extra hp from my little 3.0 gerbil. :pat:

It's amazing how far I've come.

 

First mod was 2.5 lift w\285s and running boards off same day (boy, was i on top of the world for a few weeks there) :-)

The first service I recieved was all fluids change at Charlotte Lexus and full wax detail.

1st toys in were Pioneer DEH 6400, Rockford Fosgate amp and sub w\ Monster Wires..
