Haha you got an engine start switch!
Did you wire it to actually start or is it just a spoof? Also what happen with the key lock? Did you removed to install the switch or...you twist the start button? What?

It actually works. It uses rfid technology so when the tag is in range it sends power to the button. The key cylinder was removed, which is quite easy to remove and reinstall if needed down the line.

Changing the headlight assemblies. I planned to just try fixing the existing OEM headlight adjusters since they're rusted to shit (that ice melt brine the DOT spreads on the road gets everywhere), no good.
I've test fitted one aftermarket headlight so far and it definitely doesn't have the fit and finish of OEMs. Also debating on taking them apart and do a projector retrofit while I'm at it, since I already have all the parts.
UPDATE: driver side headlight fits like crap because of the bracket, can actually reuse the OEM bracket on that side. Also went to test some bulbs on the aftermarket headlights to see what the beam pattern looks like (crap BTW), and the small mounting tab where the bulb retaining clip goes on to freaking broke!

Did my TBU today using Napa eclipse calipers, Centric rotors, Centric posi quiet ceramic pads, and Stoptech stainless brake flex lines. It's definitely an improvement over stock and well worth it.

Drove it while it was pulling to the right. Got out and the brake pads were smoking. Looks like a 13wl rebuild is in my future in the New Year.

Honestly a very easy and fun rebuild. Any project you can take inside and tackle on a rainy day without making massive mess is a win for me. I got rebuild kit and a couple of spare pistions at the local dealership and was back up in a day

You have a part # by chance? I have used non OEM seals on other calipers and paid the price for it.
Found it. Part#04479-60081.

Went on a junkyard date with my husband. We got filthy and it was fun. I only needed a few piddly bits, he needed a front 4.30 diff.
Getting one of these out is a messy gross job-
getting that 12mm hex nut (yellow arrow) from the underside of the crossmember not so bad.
Getting the bolt (pink arrow) upwards out of the crossmember in those tight quarters without a tranny jack in a sea of gravel and oil and broken bits, not so not bad.
It can come out, it will come out. You just have to puzzle more stubbornly than it wants to stay. Think up but not too up, and sort of twist, and down, and towards driver, away from the oil pan lump and flange-grabbing trans.
And patience. Lots of that.

Nearly done with the bumper. Welded all the hoops in and painted it thoroughly. Tomorrow is working and light day. I should have a fully functioning truck again just in time for the worm week to begin

Looks like fun. I have seen two or three junkyard dates happening while looking for parts, and the result has been mental scaring for life.:hurt:
HG job still doing well?

Ha! I was talking to one of the yard guys who said he's caught quite a few of those....dates... :twitch:
You know, my husband does make a fine sight covered it dirt and grease with a wrench in hand...
hmmm....
I'll be merciful because there is not enough bleach in the world for any unfortunate people's eyes! :faint2:
HG job still good, truck is running great with no coolant loss.
I saw a 97 at one of the yards that'd been dismantled down to the block and one of the head gaskets were still there. According to the pistons it had a fail on #1. The gasket was original- there were no version marks on it. That confirms to me that mine had been done sometime before I bought it at 119,666 miles.

Leaking brake reservior
I have a leaking brake reservior on my 98 SR5. Anyone know a good part number for the res alone?
