    Ctek 7002 clicking

    Just picked up a ctek 7002, and plugged it in today on my trailer while it's parked to perk up the battery. I plugged it in and it quickly moved to the third light, but then makes a relay clicking nose every thirty seconds or so. Is this normal? What's going on? No indication of a fault or any...

    My First Radio

    Well, this Saturday is my exam, and I am fortunate enough to be local to universal radio (where the exam is being held). I figured it would be a good time to pick up my first radio while I am there. I am currently considering the Yaesu FTM-400DR. I like the touch screen and the built in APRS...

    FS: Stock suspension from a 99 4runner

    After installing my new lift, I have the stock factory suspension laying around. This is the suspension that is 1" taller then all other years. It has about 115k miles on it, shocks are in good shape, front struts still assembled with tophats, and coils show no rear sag. How about 100 plus shipping?

    FS: Stubbs HD-SKO for 3rd gen 4runner

    For personal reasons, I have decided to go with bolt on sliders for my 4runner. I had these made for my 4runner by Richard over at stubbs, and then had some plates fabbed into them so that they would protect my paint from mud off the front tires and a step for the rear so I could more easily get...

    Vehicle Rod Rack

    I am looking at getting a rod rack for inside my 4runner, as my roof is not an option at this point. I am debating the rod loft, but reviews are mixed to say the least. Anyone have any personal experience? Any other products out there you recommend?

    All, I am about to purchase a set of 265/75/16's (cooper st's) for under my fairly stock 99 4runner. I was looking today at the spare tire well, and with my trailer hitch and my panhard bar, I am seriously worried about fitting the spare under there... I see lots of 4runners with this tire...

    WTB: Stock Toyota Stereo Brackets

    All, I am in the process of fitting my CB below my 1 DIN stereo, and need the stock toyota brackets to get the whole thing to fit well. These are the metal parts that mounted your stock stereo into the dash. If you have upgraded headunits and have these parts around, I could really use them.

    Another New 4Runner (autumn metallic)

    Hey all, just wanted to take a moment to say hi and start a build thread for my new 99 4runner. I got it about 2 weeks ago, and have some big plans. It turns out the truck is a fairly rare color, since no one has ever seen one, and the dealer thought I was crazy when I told them what color it...
