Been a minute! Figured I'd update with some things I have done since the last post.

I installed a rear cupholder out of a OBS Ford Access Cab underneath my rear charging panel for holding drinks while camping.


I also got some horns out of a 2013 Tacoma that I paid WAY too much for, but offset with some things I sold. They sound a lot better than the Merc horns I had before.


I also got some 2011+ Honda sprayers off AliExpress for 8$ for the pair, work just as well as the OEMs for about 28$ cheaper than the amazon ones.


Other things are a new radio (Sony XAV-AX3000) that I got for a screaming deal on eBay


I installed new needles in the cluster that are closer to the '99+ ones, however this wasn't as straightforward as I thought, as I needed to adjust the temp one about a dozen times before I finally got it working. I love the red a hellova lot more than the orange ones. Thank you goes to @habanero for her writeup on these!


I installed two wires in my diff lock switch that enable the light that is in there to turn on (the same switch on 1st gen Tacomas do, but not ours), hab also inspired me to do this one.


some other things I did that I won't include pictures for are installing a microphone for my radio behind my scangauge, fixing a sunroof leak (it was the rails, not the drains), fixed a hole in my radio bezel I had cut for my 115v system, removed the illumination from my steering wheel controls because it messed with the resistance of the buttons, and soldered the pins on the clock so it'd not die.

The major one though, and the thing that inspired me to write this post was I FINALLY figured out why my keyfob didn't lock the doors. While trying to track down why my rear hatch ajar light wasn't working (which I still haven't figured out), I came across three corroded wires in the front driver's door sill.


While repairing these wires seemed to do nothing initially, I got inspired after thinking about it earlier this week and went to take a look. It turns out, the red/white wires that were broken (there were two) I had repaired incorrectly, and attached them to the wrong corresponding wire. Swapping these wires fixed my door locks! Now I don't have to lock the doors from the switch inside, and can lock it safely from outside.

I also relocated my front 115v system to above the 4WD shifter with another of my custom button panels.


(sneak preview for my next 'big' mod...ever heard of the RS3200?)
