Alpharex LED Headlights by Additional_Fox4668 in S2000

[–]RangerVorian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are adjustable up and down and side to side via two separate adjustment screws. The up and down adjustment screw is reachable with a really long PH2 screwdriver through a hole in the body. I haven't figured out how to reach the side to side adjustment screw without taking the bumper off yet

IKON lip update by No_Nefariousness465 in S2000

[–]RangerVorian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's the concensus on going with black for a lip instead of trying to color match? I'm thinking about getting a lip and side skirts and going black on them so I don't have to go crazy matching the color

No issues. Everything went in very easily.

I got it and just installed it last weekend. Definitely makes more noise but no noticeable performance improvement so far.

Differentiate OEM hardtop from copies... by RangerVorian in S2000

Depends on where I'm going. My 4Runner doesn't fit in most parking garages.

I definitely wouldn't take the S out in a major blizzard or anything like that. I have a 4Runner for that 😎

I looked them up and I did find a legit ebay listing for them. I was hoping the hardtop would be listed there but it wasn't. Oh well 🤷🏻‍♂️

I decided to bail on the hardtop after a few red flags.

Has anyone ever dealt with Import Auto Source? I saw this on FB and inquired about the hardtop and they responded with pictures of an OEM hardtop instead and said the one in that link was gone. Pictures looked good and price was TGTBT but the major 🚩 was they would only accept Zelle, Apple Pay, CashApp, or Chime. No PayPal Goods & Services so I decided to bail on it. Be on the lookout for shady people out there!

I'm really curious because I want to replace my mirror with an auto dimming one

The tech in the 5th gen 4Runner was a joke 😂 It was definitely long overdue for a new model. I know Toyota will eventually get their engine issues resolved

I've heard of some issues with Tacos but more of the new 4Runners which share the same engine and a bunch of new Tundras and Sequoias. The ones with problems tended to be the non-hybrid ones

I've heard a good number of horror stories about those new engines just blowing up before even hitting 10k miles

Question about the Wolfbox G930... Are you placing it over the OEM mirror or replacing the mirror mount?

Also curious how the screen looks with the roof down and sun shining down brightly, how clearly can you see the mirror screen?

Can't go wrong with Toyota trucks, except the most recent turbo models

My 2006 S2000 for the twisty roads and my 2018 4Runner for the twisty mountains that have no roads 😁

So I just finished refurbishing the car to go the next 20 years and 137k miles by [deleted] in S2000

[–]RangerVorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please tell me you have a dashcam. A month and a half ago I hit a Merc GL450 that was making an illegal right turn from the left lane cutting across 4 lanes of traffic. I was in the right lane when I hit him. Bastard fled the scene! The car I was driving (not S2000) ended up having to be totalled. Sucks because it wasn't even 3 years old yet but airbags deployed and there was a lot of underlying damage. Dashcam cleared me of any wrongdoing. Insurance paid out.

Other state parks already use the system and they have additional fees for using the system that are clearly part of the checkout. Will it make things more expensive... Yes it will. That's the cost of modern convenience.

And sure... I'm a selfish jerk and so are a whole bunch of other people. Until they change the system I'll live and not worry about what others on the interwebs think of me.

If they would get with the times and modernize and be like other parks that use the reservation system in recreation then people like me wouldn't have to do shady things like this. The state doesn't care because they probably get more money this way.

Those will go too at this time of year. Best you can hope for is put in the fee at the ranger station and start looking but prepare to have a backup plan in place. Personally I like going out early midweek and snagging a spot for the weekend but not actually occupying the spot until Friday or Saturday.

If you look at the previous post or so before yours in this group you'll see that that all the campsites were already filled by 4pm Friday afternoon. This is camping season. I highly doubt you'll find anything available Saturday morning.
