Right below the radio.

Right below the radio.

That will look good.

This is nice...Hmm?? Now I'm wondering how a bank of switches would look like sitting next to the FMU on the headliner.....

Version 2 with the 100 series LC rear locker dial

The (2) blanks will be filled in with the 'trac off' button and with the center diff lock switch. Jed at Armorology was able to recess the locker dial so it would sit flush or close to it. The other (2) will be slightly raised since there really wouldn't be enough material left to hold the switches in place.


Also installed

Sky Manufacturing elocker guard
Modified Trail Gear small diff armor

I really need to finish the Andy Mod found out today from much vsc/traction control sucks when you get stuck.

Can anyone recommend a quality aftermarket catalytic converter.

Looks like my cats took a dump on me. I received a quote of $3,000 :jaw drop:to replace the cats which is a bit hard to stomach.

Update photo's as of 8/9/12

The photo doesn't do height any justice, I could've used a step stool to get in.

Finally got the panel wired up and functional

I wasn't able to use the one switch like I would've liked so we just used the fog light switch. Eventually, both the center diff lock and trac off switch will be replaced with a newer switch from either a 4th gen 4runner or FJ Cruiser.

Lil Skips Gas Tank Skid - installed

Looks good! I'm hoping that "Lil Skip" will develop one for the 4th Gen... I think it would go nicely with my Man-a-Fre skids.

Made a little trip up to Denver tonight and picked up a set of 16" Baja Tacoma rims. These are the same type of rims I had on my last 4runner.

A set of spider trax spacers will be making their way to my door.

The guy wouldn't sell the rims without the tires, so I'll be selling those to recoup some cost.

 

[smallfry]

Got the new to me rims mounted today and they cleared the tundra brake calipers without any issues.

Monday the spider-trax spacers are supposed to be delivered so some time next week I'll post the before and after photo's of them.

 

[Gerdo]

Nice looking wheels.

 

[sr5owner?]

I have a question regarding the climate control. On Limiteds have that right? Regular SR5 just has the dials, correct?

 

[sittinpretti03]

can you tell me more about the center diff lock? What years did it come one? i have '98 sr5 and looking for upgrades to do.

 

[smallfry]

01-02 had the center diff lock.

 

[smallfry]

The one drawback to running the Tacoma wheels is the need to run a spacer to move the tire away from the upper control arm. So a call to Spider-Trax was made.

Clearance between the uca and the tire before

Spacer in the process of beginning installed
