Steering rack guide replacement is an easy one. As often the case, Tim and Sean show us how, and here with JZiggy...
YouTube
Out with the old...
In with the new and improved...
Did some cleaning inside and shot some new grease from lock-to-lock.
Greased-up the guide and snugged it up, ultimately to about 20 ft-lbs. After some experimenting, I found that to be the tightest I'd want to go...
No more play...
Saw my wife and youngest off at SFO, then drove back to Morgan Hill with the oldest, piled into the 4Runner and made it to the alignment shop in San Jose - Aligntechs.
Very pleasantly surprised that Sal got caster at 3.2 and 3.1, with camber in a nice range. But, I actually drove-in with that caster, and nearly that camber too (.3 and .2)! Not so keen on toe though. I had my kid with me, stuff to do, so accepted it for now. Sal said that I have up to 6 months or 6,000 miles to bring it back, so I'll do so at some point...
He was prepared to work the cam adjusters and the SPC UCAs, but touched neither. He got the above alignment simply by adjusting the tie rods.
This is what I did beforehand, all to the max:
- Both rear cams pushed outward as far as possible
- Both front cams pulled inward as far as possible
- SPC UCAs on "G" moved inward far as possible
With that he simply played with the tie rods...
Will get back to wiring projects as soon as tomorrow.

With the wife and youngest gone until the 3rd week of July one might think I’d have plenty of time to wrench…. Seems sort of the opposite, so far at least. Mr. Mom duties around the house, summer camps and the like for the oldest have consumed much time. It’s been fun, rewarding and quality time with her is priceless.
My on road light mods are done. Before buttoning-up the wires I made sure the driving/running lights worked.
I find that the angel eye lights provide some decent output, more than I anticipated. Between those and the adjacent orange markers, I like the improved visibility of my front end.
This looks like the nearest ground, so I used it.
That's black 100% silicone securing the wires to limit movement and potential damage. I did the same with the hot that goes to the other side under the winch. My soldering skills diminished I'm sure, but I believe the tips I used are poor. They weren't tinning well and I spent a while to do it right. Heat shrinked those, 3M taped, and zip tied.
No final photos at this time, but all external lighting is now LED. I decided to keep those headlight LEDs. It has been a month, they are an improvement, no indications of them bothering other drivers. I'll keep a pair of the trusty Xenon bulbs on board...
I have two front turn signals on each side and have three different driving/running lights (factory corners, 2" round reflective markers and the angel eyes around the LED fogs).
As shared before, power to the additional driving/running lights is via an Add-a-Circuit on the fuse slot for all driving/running lights, which I like. I slotted the fuse box cover.
I'd like to jump into the off road lighting next, but since I really want to continue using this same fuse box, as Leon mentioned earlier, I need to figure-out exactly how I'm going to do so or where I'm going to source the needed parts... I'm contemplating a salvage yard run and wonder what other Toyotas might be fair game for this project. Research to perform...
So, while at the front bumper doing this wiring, I noticed these triangular portions (masked with tape) hanging below the bumper.
A Dremel made short work on those. Applied some paint on the exposed metal afterwards...
Might move the wiper reservoir at some point too...
Spending money, making some of it back... Sold the front brakes which got me to $1,600 in items sold:
$400 - Leather Front Seats
$50 - Factory Stereo & Amp
$75 - Cargo Privacy Cover
$50 - Skid Plates (2)
$150 - Rear Bumper
$25 - Spare Tire Crank
$200 - Front Bumper
$50 - Roof rack cross members
$50 - Front bumper carrier
$75 - Trailer hitch
$100 - Front shocks
$350 - Wheels/tires
$25 – Front brakes
The goal of reaching $2k remains, but it won't be easy...
As mentioned earlier, I'm pretty active in the stock mkt. I re-added to some positions a couple weeks back that I had previously lightened, and sold covered calls against those several days ago, collecting about $3,300 (AAPL strike 205 05 Jul). Setting that aside for this build, although I don't see the current need for such funds at this time. Moonroof delete, welding her shut and bed-lining her, likely next spring/summer...

I have something to start playing with, hopefully as soon as this weekend.
From a 2000 that rolled...
Looks like a few of those terminal connectors were going to cost about 30 bucks delivered, on the slow boat. For 20 more I got the above, most notably the long pigtails, but also with a nicer cover than mine and extra relays and fuses...
I finally installed the wheel locks a few days back. I hung the spare on the swing-out, secured it, but then took it off. For local trips to THD and the like once or twice a month, the spare will stay in the garage along with the tool and recovery bags...

While waiting for weed trimmer batteries to charge, I made use of the time to disassemble the salvaged fuse box. The lower box with four retaining clips that secure the portion that contains the fuse and relay connections...
I got quite an assortment to fuse terminals to select from for this project.
One, likely the heaviest gauge, will be dedicated to the ham radio. Two circuits will go the switch box that will be under the driver's seat. A few days ago I did a dry fit.
With the door closed, access to the rocker switches is no problem.
The fourth spot/circuit will be established for potential future use...
The first battery is charged, so back at those weeds!

Off work much of this week, returning on Friday. Same thing, doing yard work, cutting weeds mostly. While the battery charges on the trimmer, I either rake and fill cans or work on the 4Runner...
I first got busy on the power in. Getting the salvaged fuse box was a very good idea. I made use of this heavy gauge white cable to deliver power to those four open spots. Since two of the blanks are next to each other, I was able to use of one of the dual gang terminals (red/black on top below).
I joined the wires by fanning them out a little, pushed them together, then I twisted. I wrapped a wire around to hold them tightly in place. My soldering iron was not up to the task, or I was too impatient, so I used a torch. Not as pretty as I would have liked, but they are plenty secure. Used liquid tape afterwards and heat shrink tubing...
I did a test fit on the salvaged fuse box, and the lengths should work-out well. So, 12 gauge power is ready to go. Next, fused power out, and that will also be 12 gauge.
Same approach was taken with joining the wires.
Since I could only use dual gang in one spot in the fuse box, I needed to make a couple of the 12 gauge terminal single gang. A few bends with needle nose pliers did the job. I did test fits for each in the salvaged fuse box, and they work great.
Fuse power out leads are about 8 feet. Here with the power in...
While I realize that I can use the existing hole through the firewall, I'm more inclined use another path. Not running anything crazy like 0 gauge for an amp, but four 12 gauge power wires, two to the switch box for those six rocker switches, one for a ham radio, one possible future use... There will be 5-7 smaller gauge wires too for power delivery to devices. I had removed this grommet from somewhere on the truck and the opening looks to be ideal for those wires.
Under the dash, at about the 1 o'clock position from where the wires go through the firewall I see a perforated flap, top center, a bit to the left...
That seems to correspond to this spot within the engine bay (taped gasket to firewall).
Tight space for a drill, but that's what I'm thinking...
Not far away from that location, there is this hole on the side, not the firewall, but near. Anyone know if that hole leads into the cabin? Thinking about using my endoscope to check it out...
Including a photo of the fuse box cover for future reference purposes.

I believe it connects. I was thinking of using this.

That would be awesome! I shined my phone light though the hole hoping to see a sign of light under the dash, but did not. Likely not bright enough...
Endoscope to next.

It was a while ago that I looked but I think you have to go in from the side by the door. A bit convoluted but I think it connected through. If it avoids drilling holes and keeps drips out of the firewall might be worth it.

Hey Tony, great to see you making progress with this wiring project. You either work very fast, or you have lots of batteries to charge .
Looks like it's mostly done now. FWIW, I drilled a hole and installed a Daystar boot in the firewall exactly where you held up the grommet - https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It worked out pretty well for me.
Here is how it looks on the inside, you can see the boot smack in the middle:

Or.... I have a lot of weeds and limbs and plants to prune!. They took another 6 large cans of yard waste this morning! Worked until after 9pm yesterday...
I did contemplate that side hole and even found another hole back into the dash area! Promising, but about 30 minutes of fishing a coat hanger, I decided to drill. With the lower dash panel or knee bolster removed there's a straight shot to that location I showed earlier. Encouraging that you used the same spot. I moved the driver seat back and used this long bit.
To make this hole.
It was too small though for that grommet and other similar sized ones I have or would need for this application...
I decided to use a stepped drill bit, but none of my extensions mate-up to it. I then remember that I have this contraption.
And it fit just perfectly from the engine bay side.
One might notice the masking tape to protect the hose from the rotating chuck...
I vacuumed-up the metal debris, hand painted the exposed bare metal circumference and inserted the 3/4" grommet. I believe it was a 1" hole. Here's a shot with the four fused power leads going through it, and part of a Togo's sandwich napkin (unused) temporarily stuffed into the remaining space. I will indeed consider the Daystar boot or similar before I commence with the routing of other wires and permanent connections....
So..... the fuse box. It's done. I found having the salvaged one really helpful for reference purposes. I took plenty of photos along the way to assist with remembering where things were, just case things didn't go back together or did not fit quite right.
As mentioned earlier, at least with my 2000, there are four clips on the inside, near the corners, that need to be moved inward, then that portion that contains the guts can be lifted upwards from the box's base. With that free, I next removed the three 10mm bolts securing the base of the box. If one takes those out first, the box will may not remain stationary enough while playing around with those clips.
Here are the two separated. Some disconnections are needed, and they should be obvious.
A couple more disconnections and the battery was removed too to create more space.
With a limit of 20 images per post, stopping here and continuing on with another post…

Continued...
Flipped her over and noted how everything is packaged-up to fit nicely in the box. Photos are your friend. One of a few that I referenced. It has the power in, at least partially connected...
This is the fused outbound bundle for which I needed to later add those four 12 gauge wires. Not particularly hard, but it's tight.
While sliding the fuse terminals ends is a snap, literally, pull-out these white retaining clips, and the corresponding fuses first. My first attempt to insert one took several minutes until I remembered that clip. I went back to the salvaged fuse box and was able to insert the terminal, but not on my mine, until I remembered...
A shot of those clips installed.
Here is a shot of the dual gang power in connected (the other two not yet).
A couple of the connections were difficult to make. The box if flipped-over, turned and with a mass of wires, it's not easy to find where the terminal needs to be inserted. In this photo, the target area is below my thumb not far off from that thin pink wire. I knew that because I confirmed such with the salvaged fuse box... Really helped.
With some good lighting, and some magnifying eyewear, it just took some patience. I didn't want to disturb the bundling of the wires that much, so it took some time. And the benefit was that it was a fast re-bundle to get all the wires secure in a way that fit back into the box.
The eight foot leads labeled.
And routed through that new hole.
After confirming 12 volts on each, I put liquid tape on the ends of each, rolled and zipped. Now tucked-up under the dash, awaiting connections...
No open slots now! I put 30A fuses in each. One is hidden under the add-a-circuit, which was noted earlier, used to extend "Tail" fuse power to the additional running/driving lights I added.
I have a whiteboard siliconed to the outside of the garage window where I noted how to I plan to use these four circuits.
Left column, top to bottom, then right column:
1. Ham radio
2. Switch box rockers 1-3
3. Switch box rockers 4-6
4. Potential future use
No additional photos on this project, but I cleaned-up the battery support, applied somewhat matching spray paint in that spot, cleaned the battery terminals and re-installed it and of course got the fuse box back into place along with the various connections...
Coming today will be a third set of Baja Designs lights, the spots. July 4th discount, about $180 delivered.
Squadron-R Sport, Pair Spot LED | Baja Designs
These will be mounted on CBI's ditch light brackets, coming next week (getting powder coated now).
3rd Gen Toyota 4Runner Ditch Light Brackets | 1995.5-2002 - CBI Offroad Fab
On the switch box, the first three switch (a circuit), lighting from lower to higher:
rocker 1 = BD wide concerning amber lights
rocker 2 = BD driving combo lights
rocker 3 = BD spot lights
Once I get those brackets installed, plus brackets fabricated for the wide cornering ones that will sit inside the lower portion of the bumper, then I will make connections to all three, which will entail driver seat removal to mount the switch box. Once done, the switch box can be easily removed from its brackets with the seat in place, additional connections made to rockers 4-6. I will connect both power lines to the switch box, for all six rockers. The other two hot leads will remain under the dash until I get the one for the ham radio later...
Thanks again Leon for the great idea.
Not electrical-related, and it took about five minutes, I swapped-out the U-bolt on the Savage rear bumper. Ash had informed that they have been a failure point and to contact Roy for a more durable replacement. Roy got me one some time back. The old one.
Was replaced with this.
On a different note today was option expiration and those 205 AAPL calls I sold were not called from me as AAPL closed at 204 and change. So, I get to play them again, likely selling 215 calls next week. Selling options and OEM parts has funded this build...
Speaking of which, another 4th of July special should arrive late next week. For a little less than $1,800 delivered.
Ultimate IFS CV Axle Set for Toyota Tacoma ('95.5-'04) and 4runner ('95-'02)
Not sure when I will install that, but maybe later this month...

Nice work man.
Maybe you can help me out with something. That u-bolt latch replacement. I called Mcmaster Carr last year and ordered 6 of them. I have 2 left that are in use and bound to fail soon. Likely on the Rubicon which I'm running Thursday. I can't find my order receipt to order the same part again. I can see 314915 printed on the package the replacement came in. Is it from McMaster-Carr? If not who makes them?
Looks like you cut it a little close on the AAPL option. Luckily we both know about expiring worthless and expiring assigned. I prefer mine to expire assigned but I don't ever write them. Yet. lol
Great deal on the RCV's. That's less then I paid. If you plan on wheeling them a lot you will want to replace the shitty roll style clamp they use on their boots with something a lot stronger. All of mine failed within a few weeks of putting them on. The last thing you want to do is have to clean up RCV's grease. I don't know what they use but it's the tackiest shit I've ever seen.
The CV itself is beyond bomber but the clamps are a joke. Here's what I picked up to replace them with. There's hundreds of miles of hard trail on these and the boots are still firmly attached. You'll also need an ear style crimping tool.

I just tried calling Roy Lewis at Savage but he no longer has his phone number on his new website! I tried another number I found on the web, but it didn't go through... I have no idea if it's Mcmaster Carr or not. And, I recycled the plastic bag with the today's pick-up...
I did find that part number on Amazon though. BS price.

I'll look some more. Would be nice to help you for once!
Thanks for turning me onto RCV in that one thread. OEM replacement was going to be over 500 bucks, and those are no longer new, but remanufactured, likely good as new though. With a few or more breaks over the years, budgeting $2k for axles over the long haul or just be done with it for like $1,795 and very much minimize the need to replace these on the trail. And if so, the warranty is awesome. I was sold a couple weeks back...
Would be great to meet-up you, help me break my OEM axle even! We can talk stock and options too.
I sometimes sell covered calls with the intent of getting out of a position. Those are often in the money already, so I collect a fat premium. Other times, I'm in no rush to sell, but like to pocket the money over and over, often raising the strike along the way. The 215 range is a support and resistance spot, most recently touched in early May. I actually got out there last time, at least in this account, and accumulated more on the pullback. Will do 215 again... Funds this build but more so, I'm putting much of the profits, from the investments themselves (not option proceeds) into principal only payments against the mortgage.
Found Roy's number in an email. Let me ring him now.
