well, just installed a new Denso radiator from Amazon in my truck. Was about to install the tranny cooler, when I realized I hadnt hooked up the overflow hose yet.
Heres the fun part... It was snapped off and I didnt see it when I unpacked the box.
So now the truck is dead in the water for a few days while I wait for a replacement. Sweet
 
I hate pack rats. I used to have that kinda thing happen all the time. What part of Oregon you from ? I used the live in a little place called Sprague River.


Sprague river sounds like a place I'd love to live, unfortunatly I live in Beaverton a burb just west of Portland. Nice thing is in about 10 minutes I can be driving some backroad dirt roads where you maybe see 1 car an hour if your lucky!

In this case I kinda appreciated the pack rats because it allowed me to negotiate the cost of my SC a little cheaper do to it not properly functioning ......:jump:
 
Where did you get it at and price? Been thinking about doing a few in mine. Then when the wife says "I never said that!" I can just play it back for her and show her exactly where we were driving when it happened...lol


HD 720P Mini Smallest in Car Dash Camera Video Recorder DVR Dash Cam G Sensor | eBay

It was listed as 720p, but in the package it comes in it said that it's 1080p. Who knows... I haven't yet had the chance this weekend to finish the install.
 
Finished my no-stalk stock fog wiring mod.

If you wired fogs to the factory light switch could you tell me which prong is acc and which is power? last time I figured i'll just put them on and see what happens it sparked and so i'm not doing that again.

Gah, just get some rubber gloves. You'll be fine. :)

Factory fog relay is switched ground, not switched hot--so there is no fog power wire in the cab, only in the engine bay. If I understand correctly, he wired a panel switch to the factory stalk connector, not to the switch, which was a non-fog model. Specifically, all you need to do put a switch between any good ground and the black/red wire to Pin 11 of the stalk switch connector to energize the fog relay whenever the switch is closed and low beams are on.

Firestone Ride-Rite air pump holes

I found some nice pre-drilled holes in my stock bumper for my suspension air bags. Also got rid of some junk front bushings and replaced them with my stock ones that were 16 years old! The old bushings cleaned up nicely and work fine.

For future reference... white plasitdip really sucks to work with... sprays like water.... and don't try to tape over existing plastidip... its a 20 footer as they say, but dead sexy at that range!
 
^^^^^ your 4runners Halloween costume!!

That's a sick idea to camo it with plasti dip see if you like before you bite the bullet with real paint. Well done!:clap2:

Exactly! Figured I would spend $100 to decide if I like it, if I dont I just peel it off. If I do, I buy paint and do it for real. Also considering just doing plastidip camo based on the season so I can change it quick and easy. Might do pink for breast cancer awareness month as well!

You mean up by the turn signal stalk? Are you planning to use a relay to run aux ligs and have that be the switch?
