Daniel's 2000 5-speed 4x4 SR5 Rescue, Restoration and Maintenance Thread

Running boards removed. Looks so much better. Put them in storage for resale mall crawl appeal as they don't look baaad per say just boring.

"15 minute job" the internet says...right...fortunately only had to cut off this one. Others came off fine.

So we have had our first few really cold nights here and I noticed driving now there is like a soft whirring/rustling sound when I push the clutch in that goes away as the truck warms up driving around. It only happens when I'm moving, when stopped and in neutral and clutch is pressed nothing. Grabs hard, pedal feels fine. Anyone else experience this or know what causes it?
 
Picked up a fresh sunroof assembly from a parts truck. Looking forward to having it back. The 96-97 sunroofs will work with the 99-02 right? The controls were different but same function and form.

I hope so. I think you may need to repin a connector.

I need to do this too. Mine wit on me. I'm interested in your perspective after the job.

Ugh I mean, I haven't seen anything on the subject and it doesn't look like it. I was just thinking on the way home my button is different.

I put the sunglass roof consol from a 99 in my 97 but kept the 97 controls. I think Tyler James swapped the whole control unit from a newer 4runner into his 97. Let me see if I can find it.
 
Couldn't resist a quick pic after we finally got some sun out...she's come a long way...

As far as the headliner goes, yes- start low and work your way up. You don't have to pull the seats though.
Door sill trims
B & C pillar lower trims pull off
Rear sill and upper trim(screws under light lens)
Pull lower rear seat belt bolts
Rear quarter trims pull off(screws in front cargo cover rests, but rear holds can stay. Also have to pull upper rear seat belt bolts once you get the panel pulled away in the front)
Front seat belt bolts on b pillar
Upper b pillar trim pulls off after one Phillips screw
Pull 3 grab handles that go into the headliner
Leave a pillar trim and handles
Pull sun visors and overhead console
Leave sunroom opening trim and rear plastic clips till you're ready to drop the headliner.
The plastic clips are a huge pain in the ass, and will 90% likely break.
The a pillar trims will help hold the headliner up till you slide it out the back. I think you will want the pull the trim loose over the front doors, just to relieve some holding pressure on the headliner.
Really not a difficult job, but a time consuming one.
 
Locker ordered. TELL. YEW. WHUT.

Locker swap components finally all under one roof...now to put together final items. Wiring, axle seals, diff/e-locker breather tubing...? Anything else "while in there?"
