Expencive few weeks for me but the runner loves it

Well what can I say the 4runner is about to hit 190,000 miles and the original clutch decided to give out, along with the u-joint. So with those problems fixed I just put on some 15x8 American Racing rims as well as some clear turn signals and got rid of the dump on the glass pack with the addition of a 3 inch echo tip.
I almost forgot I fixed the hella 500 that was broken out about two months ago




You can see my dads 97' in the back ground


Just for good measure I thought I'd thrown in a picture of the head unit.

I also have a kenwood head unit.It's ok,It does what it's supposed to.The only thing I don't care for, is the display is really difficult to see in the daylight.Even adjusting the contrast doesn't help much on a sunny day!Keep this in mind before you purchase.

Thanks guys for the comments. Nope no beer unfortunatly just a full throttle. The kenwood head is pretty nice its got good functionality and before the windows where tinted the display could be difficult to see early in the morning or late evening depending on the direction i was driving. It does sounds pretty good though I'm still working on getting my system just how I would like.

I didn't like my Kenwood. I had an Excelon KDC-X879, and for $500 I was not impressed. Sounded great, but stopped reading CD's after a year, and it tried to keep overheating and stopping. This was actually a replacement under warranty for a Kenwood KDC-X979 that did the same thing. Kept overheating, and would fade in and out. I had both professionaly installed, and they both did this.

However, my Pioneer is fine so far, but I've only had it 2 weeks. It doesn't have the configurability my Kenwood did , and it's incredibly hard to see in daylight. Sun keeps reflecting off the seat, or my hand, either one. Overall, not terribly impressed with either deck, but I'm not going to spend $1K to get what I really want either.

However, Red, that is a sweet Runner. Very nice looking.
