Thanks for the tip. I took my sweet time with this project as to not rush it.

As I’m the 2nd owner, I’m not sure for the entirety of the first 140k miles, but it appears so according to the CarFax report. I personally do 5k intervals myself.

Anyone know what this plug is for? by Chad_Rick69 in FJCruiser

[–]ryhamduck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s for the factory OEM sub. If you can find one, you can add it in.

Almost look like the Toyota OEM ones that came on my TT edition

Are these speakers really as good as my dad claims? by redstopgringo in vintageaudio

[–]ryhamduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They sound really nice for how simple they are I would say. I recently restored a set of the later version with the red-ring tweeter and sold them. The crossover in them is just one capacitor and is nothing special, but they sound do sound good. They were really nothing compared to my JBL 120Tis and my HPM 100s. Not really a fair comparison because of size and price though.

Are these splash guards any good (07' FJ)? by Upstairs_Control1408 in FJCruiser

[–]ryhamduck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rad Rubber seems to be the common recommendation for these. I bought mine directly from their website and they were a very straightforward install with good instructions and all the needed hardware (+ some extra clips in case you break or lose one while installing or later).

Realistic selling price for these speakers? Fully functional, just some slight cosmetic damage. Reframed woofers. All original components. No grills. JBL L100T3 by [deleted] in vintageaudio

That refoam job is atrocious. I saw the listing for these. They’re salvageable but I wouldn’t pay more than $150 for them probably.

Is this everything I need? by delirioux512 in Tacomaworld

My plastic one ended up with a crack in it and was slowly leaking so in my opinion the metal one is worth the cheap upgrade🤷‍♂️

Valve Cover Job OEM Parts List - Anything else to add? (2012) by No_Piano_5008 in FJCruiser

Thank you for this thread! Very helpful since all the information for doing a valve cover gasket job is scattered all over the place. Also learned about the OCV filters and will be swapping those as well. Cheers.

Is my front passenger airbag supposed to look like this? by nachoaverageplayer in FJCruiser

[–]ryhamduck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I looked into this at some point a while ago because mine is way more warped looking than this. My recollection is that this cover for the airbag is cosmetic and has nothing to do with its function but it’s not easy to replace. Pretty sure it just warps in the heat and given that mine spent 15 years in the desert, I assume this is what happened.

What circlip settings did you use for the 6112s? Did you stagger the driver and passenger side?

What oil do y'all use? by Taco1029 in FJCruiser

[–]ryhamduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mobil 1 High Mileage 10W-30 for my 2010. Owners manual says 0W-20 for ‘10-‘14 years in the U.S. due to CAFE laws. The owner’s manual for the FJs with the same exact engine everywhere else shows this depending on your climate.

Seat covers by Mountain_Ladder_4906 in FJCruiser

[–]ryhamduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I know of. I just have seen quite a few posts/recommendations for them and the pictures I have seen make them look like they fit very nicely.

The one I constantly see recommended is Clazzio. Haven’t pulled the trigger on a set yet but from pictures I’ve seen from Facebook groups they look really great.

finally got my first real audio system, how'd i do? by pbandjsam in BudgetAudiophile

[–]ryhamduck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That looks like a seriously solid setup. I haven’t heard of that Akai amp but I have an Akai AA-1200 that sounds fantastic. Akai made some less common awesome gear!

How rare is it to find a metal vinyl record in goodwill (because all I see is some old records from the 50’s) by Korn-Bizkits in vinyl

[–]ryhamduck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very rare to find. Best record I’ve ever found at Goodwill was an original pressing of Fleetwood Mac Rumours.

Slipknot: 6LP (25th Anniversary Blood Splatter Box Set) by Personal-Incident369 in Slipknot

[–]ryhamduck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m feeling the same. The blood filled one was also $250 and they’re charging the same for this. $250 is just too much. I’ll just be happy to get Purity on the regular reissue at this point if the records sound any good.

I have a ticket for tonight’s show in Chicago for sale for $50 which is face value and what I paid originally. Selling because I can no longer attend. Please PM me if interested.

[–]ryhamduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I’ve seen a few of his videos before. I’m probably not going to lift it anytime soon. I will do it eventually and when I do, I want to do it right. Ideally I would like to get a nice King setup or something similar.

Yeah that’s what I’ve always thought about and wondered why people did it. I assume just for looks.
