Hey Corax, can you tell us more about your hood vent thing? Does it help airflow through the rad on the highway?
One junkyard mod to add -- a coolant resevoir that I can actually SEE the coolant level in. Oh, and a "Tercel 4WD" emblem!

Sure, they came off a Ford T-Bird turbo Coupe from the late 80's. IIRC, these scoops were only used on the 4 cyl turbos and on the donor car faced forward. I put them facing rear so they would pull air out of the engine bay and reduce underhood temps. Even though I never tested them to see how effective they are I can feel a lot of hot air coming from them when the truck is stopped, I imagine they work just as well at highway speed. I made a cardboard template and lined it up to avoid cutting through any hood reinforcements. They are glued in with black RTV and are just as secure today as they were 5 yrs ago when I put them on. anything else?

My dad's 93 Chevy Suburban has one that uses a standard 1156 bulb. Sits on the passenger fender and unwinds almost across the engine bay.

The 88 cheap cherokee I learned to drive in (don't hate, I did upgrade) had one that would unwind to nearly the back of the rig IIRC

4.88 front diff with a LockRight and Yukon ring and pinion with 10k miles for $200.
This was bought from the yard owner whose soon-to-be-ex-wife set his 4Runner on fire. Interior was a total loss, but all the mechanical parts were fine.
Quite grim to see in person actually...but hey.
