It seems that in this year they considered the 4 cylinder to be low option, Kinda of funny considering it was the better engine IMHO.
That's an interesting set of options.

I have no cruise or intermittent wipers, but I do have A/C. I've got a 93 with a 22RE. The intermittent wipers would be nice though.

I'm assuming the A/C was a standalone option (like a sunroof in other Toyota models), but how you have the wipers/cruise and nothing else.

The lack of a glove box light is irking me big time...I wonder if it's prewired.

I don't believe it is prewired my dad put one in his '91 and in order to do so he had to take power off a hot wire somewhere else. He also worked for the Toyota dealership here for about 20 years (right when our trucks were new) he did say that sometimes a customer would buy a pickup and want A/C so they'd install all the stuff right there so that might explain your A/C not sure why one like mine with cruise and what not wouldn't have it though

Finally a real update, got my LED dash lights today from http://www.superbrightleds.com/ and installed them in my instrument cluster and climate controls. I did red to match my stereo deck. These pictures really don't do it justice but in person it looks GREAT!!!!

i just tried to see about ordering those cluster lights for myself.
But they are not clear what so ever on product numbers.
Did you do the AC lights and switch lights?

Yeah thats crazy i dont have a Glove box light or cruise.

I didn't do any of the switches just the cluster and the climate controls. I had a bit of trouble finding what bulbs to use myself, I think I eventually found it on Toyota Nation. I used the bulbs in the first link to replace the bulb in the climate controls and the two smaller outside bulbs in the instrument cluster (I believe they're a number 74) and I used the 5 LED wedge base bulbs at the top of the page in the second link to replace the three larger bulbs in the middle. This was on the SR5 style cluster with the tach, I'm not sure on the quantity but I would think you'd use the same bulbs for the lower option cluster. As a bit of a side note the number 74 bulbs were a bit of a tight fit but as you can see work great.

Got my new grill off Ebay and a new drivers side headlight bezel and got them installed today. Much better than my old one that was held on by 2 clips broken in multiple places not to mention the chrome was peeling off.

I pulled it off so I can mount my factory turn signals on it (when I get the time) I had some goofy little turn signals on it and they worked okay but whenever I touched the brakes they would start tweekin out so now I need to come up with a way to mount my factory ones

Yea the dash lights are deffinately sweet only problem is they don't dim I used the 5 LED bulbs and I've read that the 6 LED bubs do but it doesn't bother me too much. Also got my BJ spacers, just need to get a chance between work and school to put em on.

HAHA thanks Swim I got the shop cleared out today after work and will start nice and early tomorrow (I hope). Since realizing that the die grinder I was planning on useing is about a 45 min drive away (at my dad's shop) and since we've got about 4 inches of snow today on top of the 6 inches we had, I figured I'd just invest in my own. So after a quick trip to Lowe's I got some new toys:





With the package of cut off wheels, the arbor, and the new fitting to make it work with my air hose it totalled about $33 and will come in handy on future projects. Hope to have it done and pics up by this time tomorrow.

Also this is a good write up I found for anyone who is planning on tackleing this mod https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116...riteup-201297/
