Thanks for the offer but I found mine today. Still not sure where it goes though. I opened the door up earlier tonight and couldn’t find the source of my spastic unlocking. I know that water triggers it (car wash or very wet roads) so I put silicone grease on all the connectors and I’ll probably replace the outside window seal which is peeling up.
went shopping....parked it away from non toyotas...dont want my girl to catch any buggies
she dont need any car-no-virus
Ha, did this about 2 weeks ago. I parked away from others and still got my corner of my bumper clipped by another car which is colored white.
I thought I parked in a safe spot but, the car-no-virus found me.:mad2:

in addition to the regular fuse the is a fusible link on the back of the power outlet.

Turned out to be the normal fuse, same with the rear heater. For some reason I assumed the previous owner would have replaced a fuse. But anyway all the outlets and the rear heater are working now, which means everything is except for the drivers side lumbar support, have to look at that today

I got tired of staring at my ugly/dirty master cylinder reservoir, so replaced the whole MC and flushed the brake fluid:
Also replaced the fuel filter with a new OEM filter:
Good for another 100,000 miles!

Also spliced two 5W 100 ohm resistors into my low-beam LED headlight circuit, now I have a working high beam indicator again!

Mine started spasticly locking the day after I ran it through the car wash. I did the same thing, cleaned all the connectors with electronic cleaner and then hit them with silicone grease. Seems to have fixed it for now....

I went aftermarket for this one, despite my usual OEM tendency. We'll see how long it lasts, I saved the original one because the MC itself was fine, I replaced it only for cosmetic reasons (the reservoir).

Replaced/Bled the brake fluid using the [MENTION=8729]Speedy[/MENTION] one man brake bleeding method he showed in his TBU video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRaYaytYkIY&feature=youtu.be Worked like a charm. Thanks Speedy!

Wash and wax first light to beat a cold front, and put on a new hat.
Now I'd like to find some inexpensive LED floods that throw a decent amount of light for my aux reverse/work lights.
This is all because my husband gave me an awning for Christmas (because he's cool like that), which won't work with the Thule rack. Having the extra room for stuff will be nice too, so there's that.
First pic fyi- I am on a road and NOT on flowers as it appears. Stay The Trail!
Old hat:
New hat:
Next project will be finding the most reasonable way to attach the awning brackets to the rack.

Nice rig habanero and you need to live out here with a screen name like yours. 
Your rig just screams for a full length rack like a Gobi (queue Gobi haters).
And thanks for your rig details in your signature. Good stuff there. :thumb:

Just changed the spark plugs and wires. Now, to figure out why it's stalling after a cold start...
Got my running boards removed + my shrockworks sliders arrived.
dropped them off to get Line-X 'd
PICS HERE
I think the running boards saved my rockers, i don't see too much rust.
Actually getting my truck undercoated professionally with POR15 then sprayed with a gallon of FluidFilm...yea it's probably too early since its around spring but oh well, will just get it resprayed with FF again in the fall.
PM me if anyone wants running boards, idk whether to keep or just throw them away. They're in great shape but I don't really see myself putting them back on
