GGFerrier's 2000 Limited Build Thread

[GGFerrier]

I am absolutely loving this build. Hope you don't mind if I steal some of these ideas for my own 2000 Limited. The LED lighting upgrade in particular looks amazing.

Thank you. Steal away! Let me know if you've got any questions or get stuck.

I think the Kuiu and Mathews stickers are one of the best mods..

At the moment I'm trying to get the suspension under control. Previous owner lifted it with whatever spare struts and shocks he had on hand and the ride was atrocious. I've replaced the struts and shocks with OEM spec, now I'm going to re-lift the front end to match the rear with some spacers, then the process begins to make it an expeditioning vehicle.

Hit up PnP to see if I could find those little buttons that stop the seat belt buckle from sliding down into the closing door.

I hate this about the rear seat belts.

Found in late 90's Camry. Driver and front passenger seat belts.

Buckled the belts and picked a spot easily repeatable on the other side. Used a drywall screw to part the stands of the belt. DO NOT CUT A HOLE!

Why Toyota didn't do this OEM, IDK!

The rear light is out of a Sienna. Measure twice, maybe three times and cut once. I ran power from the center dome. It's switched and always hot.

The center console was a chore but I didn't want wires running all over with the kids want there stuff charging.

Pulled the ashtray. The bezel has tabs to bend up so you can remove the back piece. Trimmed the bezel with tinsnips so I could reuse it.

I had some scrap oak panel I cut to size, drilled 1" holes and plugged in the OEM 12v adapters. Ran power from the ones up front. It'll take some finagling to get the cup holder to work.

Some superglue and your good to go.

It's 1/2" & 3/4" blue techflex over the new vacuum hoses. With heat shrink over the ends.

Pretty mellow little mod day today with the GG

Remember, you're not truly "modding" unless you have the hood up

Thanks for making the trip. The bonus was approval for the lift height. Haha

Bluesea fuse block relo...

Moving it to here from on top of the ORM fuse box.

1/4" acrylic heated and shaped with a heat gun.

Made my bracket.

Long night but it's done.

Sorry for the late response. I have an extra cargo light that I wanted to do this with but wasn't sure how to bolt it up because they sink into the mount. I don't think they will sit flush on the trim. And you wired them to the center light and not the rear light? Was this easier to get them to turn on how you wanted?

Ok good. I think I'll try this this weekend. If it doesn't work I'm putting 100% blame on you for inspiring me

It's tight in there make sure to get some red quick splice. You can also go off your 12v adapter back there but the ACC.
