I installed the eclipse DVD radio last night.
I also cleaned the blower motor fan. I didn't get a pic if that but for being 16yrs old it wasn't as dirty as I thought it would be.

So I ordered an ultra gauge last week and it came in the mail yesterday. I plugged it in and started playing with it. Today I got it mounted and wires ran under the dash.
Last week I also was able to remove the surface rust from my rear chrome bumper. I used turtle wax chrome cleaner and a little elbow grease.

Painting your wheels takes about one afternoon and about $40.

I'm not trying to be arrogant, but check out my build thread, as well as many other peoples builds that's the best way to start!

Nice Rig! Here are a few pics of mine so you can get some ideals. I have plasti Dipped the Bumpers and rocker panels. 20% Tent front windows, TRD Decal, Calipers Red, Cut the front variance at an angle, clear corners, +99 headlights and 'upgraded' to the 5 star rims. Other pricer things that you can do are Tires, Sliders, Roofrack and skid plates, snorkel ect. The list can go on forever.
I have the Trundra 199mm as I had the same rims you do before my upgrade. The 199mm will fit those rims. If you want the 231mm then you will have to get a rim that has more space. 199mm vs 231mm not a big difference though.

Thanks everybody for the suggestions. I got a small pile of parts that I need to install including timing belt, water pump, thermostat, and valve cover seals. I think next thing I buy will be a trans cooler.

Hey everybody I was finally able to get my parts installed. Here is what I had.
My brother and I did all this except the oil change. We stated draining the coolant and then torn into the valve covers.
Here is after the covers were out. I headed to the dealership and my brother got to removing the radiator and everything behind it.
Tip for those doing the timing belt, start with the left cam pulley then head down to the crank then finish with the right.
After all the parts were in and the block was burped I think the runner has a little more pep in her step but that could be the two bottles of Lucas fuel system cleaner I ran through her last weekend.
I replaced the radiator because I saw that the top seam was starting to leak and wanted to get it fixed asap cause I am going camping over the holiday weekend and didn't want anything to happen while imwas gone and not be able to fix it.
Thanks for reading!!

I know I'm two months late to this thread, but I just thought I'd ask, since I'm also browsing for mods. Where did you find your clear corners? I've got a '99 Limited, and I only need the corners. Yet everywhere I find them, I have to buy the bumper lights as a combo. My bumper lights/turn signals are already clear lenses, so I don't need them too.

So its been awhile since I have posted anything. I have only done one mod. Back in September on my way home from camping, the exhaust went out on the T4R. I just got it replaced this past Monday. I bought a new Magnaflow Cat, and JBA muffler. I wont go into to much detail, this mod/maintenance has been done on these trucks many times over. I do like the exhaust note, nice growl but not droning.
