Nice job on the brackets. Very tidy solution.
Thank you. They sell something exactly similar for like $130 for 2. Cost me $40 for 4 clamps. (1 one got messed up) and $5 for a 4foot 1/4"X 1 1/4" aluminum. I have few amazing local stores that sell metal, bolts and welding supply. Which I can usually find anything and everything I need for cheap. Fazzios and fastenal.
I went with aluminum because I didn't want to paint metal. And didn't want to worry about rust. Just need to get stainless steel
Bolts.
need to do that soon.
Replaced both my front interior A-pillar trims yesterday.
one of the PO's drilled through the outside of the A-pillars through the inside and then through the trim to mount, what i assume were side lights..
at some point someone put epoxy in them to fill the holes for no leaks. I went ahead and put some 3M clear tape over the holes, and then installed new trim inside the cabin. ( ill see if i can post pics soon, photobucket sucks)
looks better, may have one of the body shop guys at work see if he could fill,fix,paint for me.

Sonys latest and greatest head unit that supports Apple play. Having navigation and podcasts in the car for $400 is well worth it.

Replaced the gauge cluster lens with a new one. I didn't realize how bad the old lens was until I compared it to the new lens. It's literally a night and day difference in clarity.
I seriously think some knucklehead detailer cleaned it aggressively with the cheapest towel.
To remove the dust that builds up on it without scratching it, just lightly wipe the lens with a plush damp microfiber towel.

Wowza! That looks amazing! Definitely adding this to the to-do list.

I replaced mine a while back as well. My truck is a 97 but I got the replacement from a later year 3rd gen (2000 I think) as the part is the same as the one for a 97 – but cheaper. IDK wtf either...
Really makes the truck feel new again though!

You and [MENTION=148542]4RunEver[/MENTION] are both running the same wheel and tire setup. Looks sweet on both the black and the silver. :hippie:
