Dual cases are just sick! I've always wanted to run dual 2.28's for more options on the trail but wanted the shifters to all be in the stock t-case location so I'd not have to do any cutting or move the center console, since that's not possible I'll just sit back and enjoy watching others do stuff like this. Nice freaking yota man, that thing is just insane.

Good job on the dash lights. Don't remember where I saw it but someone on here figured out how to change the clock color. Basically they went to someone who sold lights for dj's. They have a lot of different filters to change light colors. I guess he said that they have a swatch kit with all the different filters in it. Then you just take the clock apart and put which ever swatch you want over the green light to get a red clock.

Quick update, finally got my Wet Okole seat covers, took roughly 3 weeks from the date I ordered them. I have a set in my Tacoma that are going on 3 years old (were in it when I bought it, could be older?) and they are holding up PERFECTLY. Not a single sign of wear. The feel great, look great, dont move around, and fitment is 2nd to none. I contemplated new seats for my truck but all the "cheap" seats are well....just that...cheap...so this was my best option. Not to mention my seats with 247k on them are broken in just right



Next step on the interior is to simple green the floor and bust out the herculiner and finish what I started last season (only rear cargo area got done)

Dude this 4Runner is just sweet! I have always been a P/U guy myself...but everyday on this forum gives me more and more love for the 4runners...I might get one for myself when I'm done restoring my current rig...You should definitely get a vid up showing off the dual cases!

Missed the last few comments, thanks! I am actually currently having some troubles with the truck. It has a weird misfire. The plugs were in bad shape and I hadn't done tune up since the engine build. I replaced the cap rotor wires and plugs with parts from Toyota. Still sputtering. I am leaning towards a fuel issue. The issue started after I ran the tank down to an 1/8th ( it was boiled out/cleaned during motor rebuild) and put gas back in it. I changed the fuel filter today and it seems a little bit better. I am borrowing the injector cleaner set up from my old dealer on Monday. I also checked codes and have a code #7 for a bad TPS not sure if that would cause the misfire at all, I'm thinking no.

The next issue is that the lock right locker is cooked...it's violently unlocking randomly while even driving straight. It's skipping out when I back up on the beach . I had no idea that 35s push the limits of lunch box lockers. I also heard daily driving them kills them faster?? I drive the truck to work every other week for a full 5 days and hit the beach during the summer and use it in the bad weather too. I don't want to do a spool or a Detroit. ARB is to expensive and while I have it in the front and like it I just can't justify the price tag. I am thinking of trying a spartan. The pins are much longer and springs are suppose to be stronger. I have an E locker 3rd but I am selling it because I don't want to have to she'll out money for gears and deal with modifying the housing. I didn't on my friends 2000 and it was a PIA.
