Check out the Gamiviti accessories dash mount so you RAM mount your Carplay unit and adjust height position so not mounted so high up and better cable management routing via center top speaker down pass the vents and out trough panel under vehicle start button.That is how I routed y cables in my LC 200. Gamivit has a video where Tim shows installation and cable routing.

Ill check it out thanks. I did buy a new mount for the headunit that uses a suction mount but it lowers the screen down to the dash level, however im not satisfied with how it looks. I also dont want to shell out $500 for a apple carplay oem integration so i might just forgo it altogether & use my phone as primary screen.

@@upperleftnorthwest4278 I have one of these Amazon Carplay units as well bbut using the Gamiviti dash mount and ram arms I can have the screen much lower.

You almost had me convinced to re-paint my 4Runner.. I even made an appointment with Maaco. But then I saw this video and I cancelled. My 4Runner has 260K miles. Now I’m wondering if I should put any money into it at all. I’d hate to throw money at it and then something like this happens. I’m just wondering why you didn’t fix it? I found transmissions online. Did you just feel like moving on?

@upperleftnorthwest4278 2 ай бұрын

Kind of a long winded answer but basically the 01-02 transmissions are weaker than the 96-2000. They fail more often & are not cross compatible. I couldnt source an 01-02 transmissions within a 6 hour radius & to rebuild mine wouldve been 3-4k. Over the last 2.5 years ive probably put closer to 10-12k in parts, maintenance & mods. Had i replaced my transmission i would be about 20k including how much i paid for it. The guy who i sold it to couldnt source one himself & he had to get it rebuilt as well so its still up & running. I will put it this way, the last 5 years i have had 2 4runners, a 2018 5th gen & this 3rd gen. I put the same amount of miles on both (about 40k) & i enjoyed the 3rd gen way more. 30k of my ownership was post paintjob, so to me, spending $2800 for a fraction of a comparable army green 5th gen 4runner was a no brainer.

It totally depends on the shop, the preppers, the painter and the paint they use. There are 4 maacos in my area. One of them is hands down better then the others. It also depends on the vehicle. If the techs like the vehicle they'll put in extra time and take extra care with doing a good job.

I make paint for repair shops, keeping this inside is why its holding so well. I dont want to shit on maaco, you get what you pay for. If you want your repainted car to sit outside daily you should probably get a paint job somewhere else. Also a tip they wont tell you is if you know a painter you can buy cheaper paint and cover them with a mid/high end clear to save some money if you paint code is simple.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video! It definitely helped with making my decision to go with Maaco. The paint seems to be holding up really well after two years. I also want to do the two stage (base/clear coat) option like you did so I can do a proper paint correction. I might just have them remove the fender flares altogether and paint the entire panel underneath. I think Maaco prices have gone up a little though, unfortunately. I’ll find out. For anyone else looking to do this, it helps if you do some legwork and research on the Maaco places in your area (like he said in the video, Maaco is franchised). I did a Yelp and Google review search and found my local shop with the best reviews. It’s worth it. Looking forward to your 270K video. Mine just hit 257K. I’m hoping I can make it last till at least 500K. Thanks again man!
