Speaking of brake controllers, has anyone installed one on a CX-9?

Hi Roman- First, I'm glad you're open minded about the first boat, and it sounds like you have a great deal of prudence and foresight. I'm also glad you didn't fire me off a hate message for suggesting to look elsewhere--as I mentioned I truly did not intend to stir the pot but rather help you...

My experience with them on a 1300cc high performance motorcycle showed a light dust coating on the "clean" side of the air box after about 15K of riding (various conditions-some rain, some dusty roads, mostly backroads and some with coal dust). OEM paper filter=zero dust. Swapped to a UNI oiled...

Just got done buttoning up the interior. Installed Second Skin's damplifier, sludge and closed cell foam throughout (trunk, doors, cabin). Also sprayed the interior plastics (inside/non-visable portions) with "Boom mat" spray. I did not go crazy with multiple layers to minimize weight gain...

I don't own a CX-9 yet, but would stay away from K&N. Don't get me wrong, they are well made and a great concept, but they do allow more dirt to enter the intake system. Over time this will affect reliability. They are great for racing as long term reliability isn't an issue, but daily...

Thanks, Helbigtw. I did see your post showing the brake deterioration. WOW!!! While that's a mark of bad quality parts, nothing $200 and a few hours in the garage wrenching can't fix. I don't mind wrenching on cars but know I won't be able to tear apart transmissions, engines, and complex...

Hello All, I'm considering a 2012 CX-9 to replace a 2005 4runner. Sounds like the 2013 will be redesigned, but I'm not a big fan of buying first year redesigns. Don't want to be the test pig to work out bugs. I typically hang onto cars at least 5 years, sometimes much longer. I would buy not...

This is my first post here..I may be buying a CX-9 in the near future. Currently have a 2010 MX-5 and a 2005 4runner V8 AWD. I too am a sailor. Com-pac 19 , displacement 2000lbs. Full rig (trailer, boat and all gear) weighs about 2950lbs. First off, I think you need to check the specs on...
