That is still a high price for warning lights to me. I think i'm going to find so cheapo ambers just for rear warning lights. i would really like some flashing ones.
But let me know and we can weld those tabs on. I have a few extra tabs laying around we can use.

It can be real windy. We're usually tucked up next to the mountain so if it's windy it's not too bad.
This crowd likes to stay up late and party so no going to bed at 10pm. Haha.

Anyone know if you actually have to drop the front diff in order to change the oil pan seal?

I think i can manage, I might just have to get a nap during the day. Getting old sucks, or working normal people hours suck.
Not the slightest clue, but I'm guessing so. That front diff takes up a lot space. I haven't had to pleasure to change one yet. Im pretty lucky w my runner as I've never had any major engine leak/troubles. Knock on wood.
But if it does ever give me troubles, the whole engine is getting scraped. I need a good excuse for a 4.7 in it.The 3.4 has always left me disappointed when i hit the skinny pedal. I would love to grab up the entire engine/running gear off a 1st gen tundra/sequoia

LKQ has the 3.4l for about $1000. Their parts are normally in really good shape. That's who I buy all my parts from. They even deliver to me at work for free.

Why go with a rebuilt engine for $3000 vs a used low mileage one for $1000-$1500 ?
The way I figure it, if the engine needed to be rebuilt at 150k miles than it wasn't a good one in the first place. I think any good Toyota should make it to 175k miles.
So you would be buying a higher mileage rebuilt engine.
I'd rather get a used one that came out of a rear end collision. Just my thoughts ....
The $1500 low mileage used engine you linked above looks like the way to go.
