1999 Limited "Forerunner" Build

[skier46er]

That's the port where the Toyota dealerships can scan for problems in your engine. The regular OBD2 Port is under your steering column. The one Toyota dealerships can use is proprietary and more in depth but it would most likely cost a lot of money just to have them connect their scan tool to tell you what the check engine light means. I wouldn't worry about it being cracked.

I just taped it up better just do nothing gets ruined more than it already has been

1999 Limited "Forerunner" Build

Just spotted this rig. It belongs to a older gentleman who is a customer of the marina I work for. It is a 97 SR5 with 74400 miles! It has never been in the snow before which is impressive for a vehicle like this in upstate New York. I know who to get my next rig from!

I am so sorry. I named it that because I ski race and forerunner is apart of that so I thought it fit good.

Very haha. They are not hooked up to the the reverse lights so I can use them whenever which is nice when I am working on something at night until I turn and look at them.

Finally! I got my bumper and installed. It was a pain in the a** but I got it on. I took it to a good friend to powder coat the bumper and installed it that night. All of my problems came from my old bumper and frame. I broke nuts that were welded to the frame due to the rust. Also the holes for the bolts that go in the top of the bracket through the frame were not lined up. I bike the only drill bit I had that could drill a hole that big so I have just left it as it is. The only complaint I have about the materials I received from Addicted Offroad is the LED turn signals need load resistors or else they flash very fast, the holes were not lined up, and the bumper had no protection in shipping. No crate, no box. Also, it took almost 9 weeks for the bumper to come in. There was a 4-6 week lead time and I contacted Addicted Offroad after that lead time and the bumper had not been built yet. All in all it is a great bumper. I would recommend it to anyone.

After my first little excursion with the bumper.

Lookin good. What made you decide to go without the top hoop?

I didn't really want it. I don't do a ton of offroading and it just wasn't appealing to me. I also want to out a larger light bar on the bumper.

I am sad to post this but I have to. I need suggestions on how to do better. I already know I need new tires and a rematch is being planned on pavement. It was a fun time but a V6 vs. a V8 isn't a very fair fight.

Finally upgraded to LEDs in the gauge cluster and climate control unit. It is much better than the puke green. Plus it matches my stereo and foot well lights.

I also installed a 12 in. Kicker sub and amp. I will have a picture tomorrow of the set up.

Skier where did you get the green LED? I got red from precision

I bought all LEDs for the gauges and climate control on superbrightleds.com and the footwell lighting I bought from Amazon. It has a remote that can change colors and turn on white when the doors are open. It is the OPT7 Interior Lighting Kit.

Thanks, I currently have the red on order. I was wanting green for dash kit. That leg light.. I've never noticed one down there.
