Thank you so much! This compressor was a good choice for us. We've used it several times off road, and it's usually the first thing Jeff shows people who are interested in the 4Runner. The compressor goes straight to the positive terminal on the battery.

All fixed. Whew.

Hi, I fixed the image links in the post you referred to. Thank you for your comments! We used Sherwin Williams automotive paint, mixed locally based on our 4Runner's VIN #. I'd recommend having them do a physical match to your paint (which we did when we painted the hood) because it does...

Push pins that hold the front door panels in place? Tan? Thank you.

I'm moving my hosting around. Images broken for now, but I will fix.

switch panel I'm interested in this as well. So awesome.

Great advice as usual from sschaefer3. Our aftermarket Moogs kept popping out on the trail in CO and Moab, causing a lot of noisy growling from underneath. Jeff had to crawl under and pop them back in multiple times. We've since replaced them with Toyota bushings.
