Yes Sir!
Replaced all interior dome lights with LEDs. I should have done his years ago. Such a cheap mod, so much better. A couple the fit was a bit finicky, but it all worked out.
For the first time since I've owned it, got the fog lights working. This is an 01 SR5 with the built in fog lights. Pulled them out and it was like cement in there. I had to chip everything out, but now running amber 55w fog lights.
Have all my door panels off to do the speakers. I had an idiot kid do my speakers and he threw away the plastic mounting bracket and literally just has speakers sitting in there which caused terrible rattling. Trying to decide if I am going to do sound deadener mat while I have the panels off.
So ordered the panels. I figure I need them to get a good seal and need a good seal to get decent sound.
Also starting to remove the dash and other parts so I can complete the interior LED light conversion.
Amazon.com only $23 for all the interior LEDs in a nice little kit.

Yes, because this is totally the perfect place for a totally real law firm to find clients......
Well that was short lived. Fog Lights not working again. I think I need to solder the connections, I just used electrical tape. Still expected it to last a while.

Nice writeup man. I will say the one that worries me is the placement of that switch. I have a rocker for lights in that spot and I've been known to hit it with my knee getting in and out of the truck. I'm also about to do a locker swap and a bought a whole third plus axle housing. I'm going to use an aftermarket harness that I have on order from Dark Illusion Fabrications and put it in the OEM switch spot to avoid accidental activation of the locker. Perhaps I'm just clumsy though and you won't have issues. How much do you think you have into the swap?

As far as I know it is not prewired. There seems to be a ton of conflicting info about prewiring out there and if this condition even exists.
Just look at the wires by ur driver kicker panel and c if there is the wiring/connector for the elocker computer and u'll know...

It does exist. When you look you may see some spare connectors in there that are not for the e-locker computer, smaller iirc.
I didn't have it so I used the ton of information floating about the webs to wire my own. I do have to be mindful of how I use it being mine is basically on/off.
It's silly, but my favorite addition was this silly little light in my cluster to remind me when it's on...
Even though my 96 wasn't pre-wired the e-locker light was present in the cluster, I just had to add the wiring and bulb.
later on it got a friend...

Rear Bushing Change
Well, I changed out rear UCA, LCA and Panhard bushings with some polys. Going to finish with rear swaybar and end-links this weekend.

Let us know how full poly effects the ride quality. I'm contemplating doing this but I might do OEM rubber on some of them (I've heard doing rubber on the lower trailing arms is better).

E-Locker wiring retrofit issues
Sourced a complete e-locker set up for my 97 manual , and it had the oem wiring from all the way to the gas tank, So i need help on which wires to splice my trailer wire to the e-locker, i watched timmy's video but doesnt show how to wire to the rear end, any help would be appreciated! In the pic below do I need to cut from the section?
