Done with the Runner for a bit

i am heading off to college in a week and i am not able to take my 4Runner with me so i probably won't be doing anymore mods at least until tax season. so, here are some recent mods and how she will stay for a little while. i''ll post some exterior day shots tomorrow.

i decided to see what UV LED's would look like. i don't think they're bright enough.




Red LED dome light which is more than bright enough





More pics to come when its light out

like the LEDS, not so much the red dome light though. Make sure your maps are red-light readable now

I dunno man, I could imagine a couple of half-naked chicks rollin' in there, makin the ride all the mo bettah

I like the gauges, if like you said, only a little brighter. I notice your odometer is digi, is that aftermarket display or stock on later versions? (ive only driven my 97)

Pretty sure they were stock on the limiteds for all years or maybe only the limiteds in 99-02 and all of them in 00-02

They also had problems with the digital dashes though...the fuel gauge wouldnt work properly or at all. You could get a new one, but it would erase the mileage!

I have had problems with both of my 3rd gen gas gauges... I assume its now a digital gauge with the newer gauge set.

i agree that the red light looks a bit ricer....ok...alot
but the main reason i got it is because your eyes can adjust to red light at night way easier than white or any other color. now i can leave it on and be able to see the interior of my truck and not be blinded and still see out the window just fine

Does yours go really quickly for about 2/3 of the tank, then stick at 1/3-1/4 for awhile?

Its kind of annoying seeing my gauge drop so quickly, then have it level out near the bottom for a few days.
