Also installing a HELLA supertone horn, and 99 headlight housings. The 99's were clearer and brighter since they don't have the defused lenses. All new corner lights too.

Some after market head units seem to have issues controlling the antenna properly. I have had several Alpine and the antenna always works with my 3rd gen. Different venders, different results.
I'm removing my stock antenna and replacing with a fixed unit. The only reason I am is because I can hear it rattling inside the fender while on the trail or in the desert. Plus I want a shorter one, like one of those sweet TRD ones from Toyota that are over priced lol
 
Installed light bar and purchased some Tundra 5-Spokes with tires on CL's for $275.



What light bar mounts are these, where can I purchase them, and how much do they run??
I get light bars at wholesale cost, radius 40" for very cheap, so the mounts would have to work with a radius lightbar
 
Installed a new O2 sensor. We'll see if that solves my P0420 woes. I'll go through the drive cycles tomorrow morning to see if I get the all clear for emissions testing.

Keep us updated I would like to know if that solves P0420... And how much did that one run for?


After the install of the O2 sensor, no more P0420 code and all monitors reset. The 4R passed emissions today (well...yesterday).
 
Did a gas tank swap today for my neighbor who just bought a 99 supercharged 3rd gen. The 99 had been taken to most of the trails in moab, and had a large dent in the tank.

So we removed the tank from his 97 3rd gen and put it in. The problem is now, we have no fuel level. The gauge doesnt move. The plug to the sending unit on top the tank is properly seated. Truck starts up, runs fine just no fuel level shown on gauge!

Any input on this would be greatly appreciated!!! Wrong sending unit??

My bar is 41.5. These brackets may work on a 40, though you would have to mount them higher than I did (above the windshield) and may have to manipulate them some. You can also purchase some rubber gaskets to slip between the bar and the brackets where the screw goes to remove some of the slack, if there is any.

thats a steal for them RIMS... i got mine for 360.. they included lug nuts...

how did you paint your rear bumper? what did you use?

$360 is still a solid price. I had been looking for months and months, but didn't want to pay too much. I found these on CL's out of Memphis (usually I just look at the Little Rock area). The young man had them on the site for 22 days. I was surprised he still had them when he replied to my text. The only thing he didn't have were the center caps. I ordered 4 new ones (aftermarket - much cheaper) from eBay and had them in three days.

For the paint, I used flat primer/paint in one...Shop Rust-Oleum 12-oz Black Flat Spray Paint at Lowes.com
 
Today I removed the rear seats for a little extra cargo room. When traveling with luggage, gifts and two English Mastiffs the Runner fills up quick!

I also did some digging and determined where I need to connect a wire and a diode so the map lights and rear cargo area light come on when the doors are open or the dome light is switched on manually but the dome light does not come on when the map lights or rear cargo area light is switched on. I hate how dark the front seat area is and brighter LEDs only make the shadows that the front seats create seem darker. Plus when I want to quickly find something I hate having to turn on the map lights and or the rear cargo light all separately...ok, rant is over.
 
Looks like a saris rack. Correct me if I am wrong, they are made just up the road from me in Madison WI. They are ~$250 but for the price I prefer my Thule.

If you want the Cadillac of bike racks though take a look at 1up USA.

You are correct, it's a Saras Thelma 2 bike rack. I bought ages ago and can't recall the exact price, but it was over ~$200'ish. :-)
 
Engine washed, new spark plug and wire as well. I tried to change the damn PCV, it was tight, even after lub it. I didn't want to break it, I will give another try tomorrow I guess!

Next mod soon: replace the intake tubing and add a 2nd battery + inverter and 3 big wire mod. :)

Well today I had my new tires mounted on painted sequoias. They are 285/70/17. Unfortunately we got the fronts on and they rub my uca. Once I pick up spacers from SDHQ I'll get them on. Here's a close up and one with my boyfriend putting one up to his stock taco :p
