Why not relocate them to the grille or get some from Trail Gear.

I still need to do some trimming and some blacking out of the front end so it looks a little better.
Easy, modify your marker lights and turn those INTO your blinkers.

Is this custom or bought? I really like the design.

It was purchased off of LowRangeOffroad. With shipping it was cheaper than ordering from TrailGear directly. I went ahead and got the LED Turn Signal kit from LRO as well. Running lights are apart of the Virginia Safety Inspection... So I don't think I can turn my running lights into my blinkers. Now I just have to be ghetto-ish until my LEDs come in...

Awesome link. Thanks. If I don't like the way my LEDs look I'll totally look into that mod.

Maybe we can hit up GWNF sometime? I've read the trails are pretty easy... Send me a PM.

Budget+walmart=fram. I'd rather be running pretty much anything else and full synthetic, but it'll do.

IMO, Rotella T6 5w-40 synthetic and Purolator PureOne filter is hands down best bang for your buck. Costs me around $30-35 per oil change.

I've been getting the Purolator PureOne PL20195 (biggest one that fits the 3vz) locally for $6-7 a pop...not sure where they found the smaller one for $14.

Too bad that test didn't include denso. 1993yoter your going to need more filters! I buy them by the case. You are fine with the toyota or denso. Here is some info on the denso features >> http://www.densoaftermarket.com/oil-filter.php
