These fantastic, mint, unused hood struts from Redline Tuning are for the 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner. I installed the hardware kit on my truck but did not end up using the struts because they interfered with some electrical work I did. Buyer pays $80 + shipping (or local pickup in west...

I've got an original JDM field monitor unit for sale. Never got around to installing it. It matches the blue/grey interior and DOES NOT include the sunroof controls. I purchased this for my 1997 SR5 and also needed to pick up an ambient temp sensor (83482-35010) to plug into the unit, which I am...

SOLD I'm (reluctantly) putting feelers out for selling my beloved '97. The short story is I've changed jobs and my family needs a new vehicle. Part of that process means letting go of one project in favor of another (we are looking for a 2001-2006 Land Cruiser). Looking for $7,000 or best...

December 8, 2017 Finally time for the TBU! I took a day off work to hang out in a cold garage with my Dad and upgrade my brakes. The originals OEMs were worn, shaky and mushy. Here are the parts that I bought for this upgrade: New OEM rotors from a 2005 V8 Tundra: 43512-0C011 ($64.01/each @...

This happens to me daily in my '97. Freaked me out first time it happened, I hit the forums, and since learning about this valve, I just wait a minute before I put the truck in gear, pumping the brakes to make sure the interference has cleared. Haven't gotten around to replacing the check...

A couple weeks ago I got my Pioneer ND-BC8 backup camera finally installed on my '97 SR5. This is a great $100 camera—not amazing at night, but I really like the minimal aesthetic impact. It's subtle and not clunky like so many license plate cameras. I also managed to install the camera in a...

Right. Yes. Okay. I'd hoped the original wiring would be okay. But I do have lots of new speaker wiring. I should probably just run new stuff.

I recently replaced the OEM head unit in my '97 SR5. I added a new Pioneer h/u, an external 1000W Pioneer amplifier, and replaced all the stock speakers. Everything went peachy until I connected the new rear door speakers. I opted to upgrade the stock 4" rear door speakers to a JBL 5.25" set...

Thanks for the reply. I watched those Pioneer how-to videos and am pretty sure that I turned on the camera input setting via the h/u. Are you saying that there's no additional wiring I need to do?
