USB charging hub in back storage compartment

Put a multi-port USB charger in that funky storage compartment in the back.
I hunt with dogs using GPS tracking collars on them so I figured this would be a great place to charge the collars and handheld unit. There are times I’m charging 2 collars, the GPS handheld, my cellphone, 2-4 walkie talkies, and a ham radio. It’s looks like spaghetti up on my dash. (I usually just toss the stuff on the rear floorboard with all the cables going back there...)
Now, no more. I can do most of the clutter stuff back in that little compartment!

I clipped off the cigarette lighter plug and tapped into the power outlet. That eliminated the fuse but I figure it should be okay. The nice thing about this particular hub (besides the nice fit) is it defaults to “on” when you power it up. No need to turn the switch on the unit.
I wish I had taken a couple more pics but it’s pretty self-explanatory...
I drilled a hole so the power plug could plug into the hub and ran that cable through the inner panel to the power outlet wires. Used those wire taps and snapped it all back into place, done

I finally dropped the girl to the ground after the 4wd conversion last night. Turned the key and nothing.....Slept on it and realized I had the transmission lever full forward. I woke up this morning and got under it and moved the lever full rear (I haven't installed the shifters in the center console yet) and hit the key and VROOM!! What a great feeling!! I need to top off the power steering fluid, check the transmission fluid level, tighten a couple driveshaft bolts after moving the truck about 6" (wrench clearance issue) and of course get the shifters bolted down. It has been 101 days since the 4Runner last started. A little over 3 months to do the conversion ain't bad considering it was done in my backyard and this summer was sweltering HOT!! So many days spent on the couch drinking cold beer this summer instead of wrenching outside drinking warm beer.

My issue was that the rear wiper wasn't completely resting in the 'home' position. Good luck!

I got half way to work and the gear indicator showed I was in both D and L. Shortly after the truck shifted into what felt like L. Then the 10a fuse for the gauges blew. So, I changed a 10a fuse today and continued to post on this forum to reach the required minimum to post my own thread in regards to the issue.

I also got a used tire mounted on a spare rim.

Finally decided to tackle a squeaking noise I heard when I turned the steering wheel - something between squeaking and creaking. For weeks I assumed it was some plastic rubbing around the column and ignored it.

Eventually I had enough and decided to investigate further. Pretty quickly I narrowed it down to the rag joint, with the body lift aluminum spacer in it :



/
/
/
/
/
I noticed that if I loosened the two through bolts holding the joint together, the noise went away. But I couldn't figure out why. Finally I took out the entire assembly, both sides of the rag joint and the aluminum spacer. It was still hard to find a cause, but eventually I did - the machined counterbore in the aluminum block (for the two steel pins in the lower half of the rag joint) was not deep enough, so the tips of the pins rubbed against the bottom of the counterbore as the steering rotated and the pins tilted back and forth.

I fixed this by simply drilling through the counterbores to create through holes for the pins, which made the noise go away. The body lift kit supplier said he never had this issue before, which I find hard to believe.

Nice to have quiet steering again.

If I remember right there's been at least 2 others on here with that issue. Dirtco and 1 other that I can't remember their name.
