Yeah at the same yard theres another with a compass/temp but no inclinometer.

I'm having trouble finding a place for it in my runner though. might have to take it out of the housing.

RBX, where are you thinking of putting yours?

In the dash. I have two dashes so one is a prototype before I cut the good dash. They are going to be mounted to the right of the center vents.

Holy Crap, this is awesome, finally i found people like me. I've found a 95 runner with struts up front 40 for the pair, and a set of asco manual locking hubs also 40 a pair. I will be going to get some switches (a interior window switch for one) and a horn, when i get the money. I have to do a few repairs towards my 4runner before i can affford to purchase these up grades, but does anyone know it the asco hubs will work on a 95 4runner? also i do know of a 95 4runner green 5spd. 175,xxx miles i think, for sale hes wanting like 1500 the only problems are a head gasket leak, rear window switch, and the left front speaker as far as i know of, if I had the money it would be a parts truck for me, and my dad but maybe one of yall could use it? just throwing that out there. great thread can't wait till i get paid again, christmas might be a little early for me...

I got my seats from a pick and pull. Well a guy I know did but they still came from a pick and pull. Recaro buckets out of a 90's VW GTI. $100 for the pair.

the last pic is of my 5.00$ 81 lights and my 15.00$ nissan fender extensions
all this stuff had to be slightly modified to fit but it was fun and cheap and fairly easy
all this stuff you could get for like maybe less than 60$ counting the hardware youll need
i also just modified my smittybuilt bumper making it low profile ill send you pics if your unhappy with your ginormous rap around bumper
I'm curious, did you bolt that tire carrier straight to the body? The idea of that bastard ripping out my sheet metal has kept me from scoring one of those for myself...

Went to a junkyard again today. Found a recently wrecked 99 Tacoma Prerunner that had some almost new tires on rims that I haven't been able to find locally. The guy wanted $180 for all four tires with rims, but I didn't have enough money. I'll be going back in a week to see if they're still there



That Tacoma had one more point of interest though......
