SantaCruzRunner's Build #2

Seeing your truck and Todd's truck is like seeing Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito in the Movie Twins. Lol. Jk.

Next time I hope to make the snow trip with you guys. That is if my truck is back together.

Build is coming along nice Drew.

now if I knew what movie that was..... haha thanks man
 
In the same boat on the led swap. I found this on one of the threads. It's been what I've gotten my info from. Excuse the writing under the pic. It's a screen shot from my phone.

I knew I remembered seeing something like this. thanks man!

That chart is what I used for mine. And speaking from experience, wherever you can, go with the 3 LED bulbs. They really do help cut down on hot/dim spots.
 
Just as a heads up I used these bulbs in my 2000 SR5.

For the gauges: 24 LED Bulb - 1 SMD LED Wedge Base | Miniature Wedge Base LEDs | LED Car Bulbs | Super Bright LEDs

For the climate control stuff, and key ring. (mine is an SR5, I dont remember if we have different clusters): 74 LED Bulb - 1 SMD LED Wedge Base | Miniature Wedge Base LEDs | LED Car Bulbs | Super Bright LEDs

Thats all I changed on mine so I cant help you out with the others. The gauge bulbs are really bright, I have hotspots at dusk, but as soon as its actually dark it all looks the same, although I also havent gone in there with white paper/some kind of light diffuser to try and fix them. Also I originally ordered my #24 bulbs from autolumination with the matrix 5 bulbs and they were ungodly too small. They wouldnt fit in the gauge bulb holders at all.

And a pic
(actually I dont have an overall pic so I'll grab one when its dark and stick it where this is)

ok, I already had those 24s in my cart.
the climate control bulbs for the Limited's are different. they are called a neo wedge. having trouble finding them.
 
Paging [MENTION=14772]shootmymime[/MENTION]...he has a 2000 limited and did the same swap. Should get everything all straightened out.
 
Few more shots. got them angled up a bit higher, still just below the standard cars rear view mirrors.

Funny story about the op, ive been Instagram stalking him for sweet pictures of his sweet runner because I envy it :p today I noticed he had a t4r.org sticker and I asked him and he told me his build thread and user name. Now I'm reading through his awesome build and have a new appreciation(and jealousy)for his runner. He was secretly my inspiration to do my ISR mod :p hehe you have a beast of a runner, keep building it!
