After a constant search I was finally able to acquire a set of the elusive SR5 flare front mud guards! :banana:

What 1100 lumen LED reverse lamps(bulbs) did you use?
I'm always looking for an LED reverse light that actually is brighter than the old bulbs. The last time I tried them, they weren't any brighter.

That is the total Light output, they are 550 lumens per bulb, And here is the link of the one i bought. https://www.superbrightleds.com/mor...lb-28-high-power-led-wedge-retrofit-car/1647/

They fit just nice, it lacks a bit of light to look far, but side and ground are very well lighten up. I backup a lot in pitch black area, and i can clearly see vs the old bulbs i had there.

EDIT: here a pic of it

In the last week I've had my window tint done, installed my Uniden 520XL CB along with it's antenna and coax, extended my front and rear diff breathers, and changed the fluids in my diffs and transfer case.

Got a 3 day overland trip in March I'm trying to get it prepared for. Rear bumper designed by Bandit on here is currently being cut, so I'm hoping by next week I can weld it up and get it done before the trip. Also waiting my Savage skids to come in so they can be installed.
 
Finished sound deadening.

Floor, roof, a/b pillars have some, cargo area, wheel wells, inner and outer door skins/door panels, cargo panel backings, you get the idea. Vacuumed out 11 lbs of shit off the floors, so it didn't technically add much weight even. Found a couple spots that were letting dirt/moisture in from my removed bumper brackets. Sealed everything up, interior put back together nice and tediously.

Sound's like your shutting the door on a tank now :)
 
Front Diff out of my parts rig. Cleaned up and ready to get Aussie'd.

Installed liftgate strut supports on my 99 runner. Now my gate goes up and stays up. Took about 30 minutes. I used Strong-arm model 4286. The only thing unexpected was that the flanges on the top of the arms were a bit wider than the arms I replaced. I used a vice grip to squeeze them together while I put the clips on so that it would seat in the groove correctly.
 
New hood prop rod bushing, 7 new grill clips, new prop rod catch. Also installed my Weathertech floor liners (sweet!) and also an Arkon floor mount phone holder.

Phone holder is the coolest thing ever. I was afraid it would be flimsy but it's really solid.
 
Did some backwoods body work on the 97. My dad and I have decided to turn that one into the cabin plow truck. We tied that motherf'rrr to a telephone pole with a chain and went in reverse oh so smoothly to get a couple wrinkles out of the fender frame rails. Reinforced the wrinkles and slapped a "new" fender on it. Good as new! Sort of
 
Today I may have made things worse

I started the day off with a #2 cylinder misfire. I replaced the plug with an E3 Diamond Edge (I know, not recommended, but it was all they had and I figured it would work for a day). Anyway. Fired it back up and now I have a "Random Misfire" code, a #1 cylinder misfire, and a #2 cylinder misfire.

I wouldent even bother with any other plugs besides denso for this exact reason
Just change all you plugs and wires and you should be fine
 
Had to break the transfercase front output shaft nut loose... Took a 30mm socket, 24inch breaker bar, some heat, and me holding the sliders for a brace and using my leg to break the nut free...
