heres my ghetto home made led tails I should have painted the blinker led board or mounted it further back in the housing. Also I arranged the blinker amber LEDs in a U shape to look cool but ended up not being visible enough in the daytime so I put the bulb back in..this is what it used to...

dude glad you got it all done...your cutoff looks awesome..love the orange led strip...and mine shakes slightly if i hit a large bump like the rail road tracks or potholes at speed. Also like the look of the bush guard with the side wings off..i might just do that to mine.

If the glass is chipping then you might need to leave it in the oven longer, also I used a putty knife on mine (once i cut through the gray crap with the knife) since it spreads out the force so it doesn't chip. Also note that the gray stuff should be gooey, if its still hard then put it back...

yea its kind of a pain but once you know how to do it its easy, I can't remember what I used, think it was adjustable pliers to squeeze the clip then just pushed it out; i think the diy says to use two people but you can do it by your self

yea im not really feeling the is300 style lights on the 4runners but if it makes u happy do it! I just did my own led tail lights using my old tail lights and $35 worth of high flux leds, a few zeners and resistors.

I am sure the DDM ones will fit, that and they come with the pig tails (at least it says so on their website last time i checked). I used two different generic sets of D2S bulbs in my projector and both of them had different problems one set of bulbs got wayy too hot and both sets for some...

The only thing I don't understand about the LED tails is why do all of them still use a normal bulb for the blinker?...it would be so much cooler if it had orange LEDs, the direct costs couldn't be that much higher and they could tack on another $50 to the cost....I am thinking about making my...

wow the rear locker was only $360 extra?

Oh I agree..gotta love that new car smell...one of the best things about buying new

i bet you truck smells brand new...I can never get enough of those harmful VOCs yum

I just jacked up the rear, removed tires, placed frame on jack stands, disconnected shocks from bottom mount, placed my forearms on top of drum brakes and pushed it down while wiggling out the spring...this was with my stock 99 springs though not lift springs.

have you tried using something like an easy-out

Yep since its a 3rd gen its either one of two things, parking brake or the axle seal is leaking

Yea I was worried about it at first but then I figured there is no way the clutch packs could be damaged since nothings moving in the trans but the pump and you turn the engine off right when it starts sputtering. But of course if your worried about some form of damage then by all means measure...

You can flush the trans yourself, Just remove the trans cooler line coming from the trans going to the bottom of the radiator, start the engine let the ATF shootout into a bucket till it starts sputtering then shutoff the engine refill ATF and repeat till fluid is nice and pink. I think I used...
