I'd vote for a 1st gen Pilot, I picked one up a few months ago and its kickass. With a few very simple changes it can look really clean, and go anywhere you need it to.

lol man if you want a rover get a rover, check out their forums and browse if you are really considering it. If I did that before I bought my TL, I wouldnt have bought it cause of the tranny issues. I'm a huge 4runner fan, especially if you can get one of the supercharged ones. My sister owns a pilot, cool car but i'm not a fan of the xmas lights on the dash. Well if you get an MDX or Pilot, as you probably wont mod it. SURF THE FORUMS FIRST!

Good point about the 4runner. The 3G ones (1996-2003 IIRC) have a 3.4L V6 had 183hp stock, but add the TRD SC and that goes up to something like 265hp.

I had a 1997 before the Lexus LX450, and it was a dog stock. I only had it a few months because it had OK 4WD, but I wanted the LX450 because it was a much better SUV all the way around and nicer inside too. Oh, you can get an SC for the LX450/Landcruiser from TRD as well, if you have the money.

5th place..not bad.

Is this feature only on macs? I've never figured out how to do it and everytime someone posts it it's from a mac window.

PPLAPW · 11-08-2009, 4:10 AM

^ Nope!

When you are looking at all the threads in the Northwest section, or any section, look to the the right of the thread, far right, under the "Replies," and click the number corresponding to that thread, it will then open a window with the list.

Then just take a screen shot!...

Let me know if you still need help...

clee109 · 11-08-2009, 1:30 PM

hah second place and brandon still has me doubled up! lol

Dont know if i mentioned on here or not but i had ordered some seamless backdrops.

Got them set up the other day and took some test shots.

Hoping to shoot with the black backdrop soon.

evenq · 11-08-2009, 10:33 PM

Hey guys, anybody want my DC Sport header? I recently swapped it out for a CT Engineering one since the flex pipe is cracked on the DC Sport. Since it is cracked I'm letting it go locally for $60. I think you can get a new vibrant flex pipe for about $40.

I'll be selling my RT cat shortly as I'm replacing it with a FLP cat.

Hey you guys with 2G TLs (02_TL-S, Fobstylez) - I need to change the bulbs behind the climate controls buttons on my dash, just below the navi unit. You guys have any experience in doing this? I have no problems working under the hood, but I'm leery of doing work on the dash area myself.

I haven't changed them..tho I need to but I know how to get to them and if they're plug and play like most of the bulbs in our cars then the hardest part is gettin to that unit. What do u need help with exactly??

Just wanted to talk to someone who's had experience taking off the trim and getting to the bulb locations. I don't want mess up my dash or the console.

There's a DIY somewhere on how to get to the HU to install like a Blitzsafe adaptor. It's what I used to take out my HU and fix my CD changer a few times. When I took out the HU, the climate control unit was attached to it. You have to take both out together completely and then you can get to the bulbs much easier I assume. I never knew that some of those buttons were supposed to light up cuz they have been burnt out since I bought my car and have never really looked to see what kind of bulbs are used. If they are like all the other ones..like in the fog switch, cruise switch, etc..then they are easy to replace.
Search for the DIY..I can't remember where it is. Not sure if it's on the DIY page. Anyways, it's not that hard to do for me now but my first time, I put every screw in little baggies and labeled them so I knew where they went..just a hint. Or if you wanna buy a few extra bulbs for me, I'll do the work for ya..LOL

Hmmm. Not a bad deal. How many bulbs do you need? We can do the work in my garage some weekend if you're serious.

I was gonna get it at Walmart because the guaranteed they would have it. But the one on 82nd isnt open 24hours....

So i had to go stand in line at the Game Stop right next to it. They proably had 50-60 people waiting for it and they had plenty of copies.

Im interested to see the first week sales numbers.

minkl81 · 11-11-2009, 7:21 PM

fucking oregon's weather is getting extreme every year. deep swimming pools everywhere with sudden downpour. i think i should ditch the tl too and get something thats worry free

saersxlr8 · 11-11-2009, 8:33 PM

sooooo, just got my 'A' wheel cap emblems and about to paint my winter wheels. Thinking about painting them gold like the sti with a factory black 'A' emblem or white with the 'A' in red.... rice? hmm what you guys think? i already have another factory set thats gunmetal or as duplicolor calls it graphite

bluecarbonfiber · 11-12-2009, 1:21 PM

why not do black with a red? if you have an oven big enough to put a rim in it i would say go to harbor freight and pick up a powder coating kit. then the paint will be alittle better

something reliable that i can keep it "oem" will be stress free and wallet friendly

my next car list if i really decide to ditch the tl
-new 2010 honda element
-used 2006 and up infiniti fx35

i really like the new 2010 legacy too but i know i won't keep it as it is. same goes for G37x
