    just scored all this for $100!! 4runner bumper, buckets seats, tilt steering column with intermittent wipers and small bag of goodies(misc bolts, seat belts)!! All I need which I can't find to save my life are SR5 door panels that will fit my truck with power windows, and a damn pickup center console! Then my interior is getting redone and updated....again!! Just trying to go for a real clean and comfortable DD..

    Hey, can you post a couple of pics of this set up with the light off and from the inside of the truck where it mounts? I've been trying to figure out what third brake light I could use in order to get rid of the mountain of one on the roof and I'm just trying to figure how to go about mounting it. Thanks in advance.

    ill get you a pic of the light off..as far as mounting I have to rip down my headliner to get a pic, so can't really do that. But its really simple. Just welded two pieces of flat stock vertically behind the light. Then drilled and taped it in the center of each piece. Got some bolts that were not too long and just screwed them in until they were pushing on the light. Thats whats holding it in...Not sure if you can picture that from my description

    I did have to cut out some of the support to do this

    Great Nam! Been driving the hell out of it! All new front suspension, rotors,calipers...fixed the alignment issue drives straighter than an arrow!

    Getting some FATMAT for the cab, putting in new solenoids for doors, and getting my 4runner seats re-upholstered and installed hopefully before summer along with the tilt 4runner steering column..

    Hows your ride?? Anything new?

    nice! I'd like to do that! how's it feel on roads that are uneven?

    Sounds pretty good, it must be neat having an interior that looks good just from Toyota parts :)

    Not too much, going to be driving from NorCal back to KS next month. Just making sure everything is good to go before the trip :D

    Havent posted anything in a long time, but just wanted to show my latest. Intermittent wiper switch from 4runner (love it more than i thought lol). 4runner steering wheel which i re-purposed the round cancel button to open my garage door, i'm trying to use the up down switch for volume on my radio. And I made my own intake.

    Kinda pissed off and frustrated right now. I got exactly what i paid for with my $600 rebuilt engine. Should of known better but it was all i could afford at the time. Now I have another blown HG!! I've been debating what to do with it now. Def not gonna get rid of my truck but engine wise. Rebuild 22re again? Engine swap? If engine swap I was leaning towards a turbo 2rz since this is my daily and I like the fact that i would still get good gas mileage, plus i believe it would be the easiest swap. Fack me what to do now!!!
