I got them off eBay from seller : wholesale-performance-outlet. Good reviews from that seller and cheaper than ordering from any of the auto places. Pretty fast shipping from Nashville to SE Ga.

It looks good. Like the wheels too.

Finally got around to priming that rusty fender and did a crappy version of the 3 gang switch mod. Also did a minor relocation of the tailpipe and installed/wired my rock lights. Pretty productive past two weekends.Name:  ab8b2f38348cc7696c3645868d7ce8bb_zpsweakcjyr.jpg

So this happened the other day. Back glass just shattered. I had put a better glass back there a while back and tried to get the defrost to work, but it never got really cold enough to make sure it actually works. So the other day it was cold enough and it still didn't work (defrost) but there was an electrical burning smell and then it sounded like a shotgun went off. So long story short, I ended up putting the old glass back in later that day.

Thanks Vujo. Haven't been on here in a few weeks, but was able to get my other 2 "deck lights" installed in the cargo area. So now with an overhead / rear-door light and 4 "deck lights" with LED bulbs, it pretty bright in the back now!

So, I got around to repainting my rear bumper and rings. Also took the time to actually mount the rear speakers on wood and are now perfectly in place and built a box for a sub (8" shallow mount) that I will hopefully soon buy and get installed. Amp wires are already ran. Also got a three gang switch and cut out and installed. It's currently in the curing stage (no pics yet) but once done will get it painted and pics. Also did the Matrix 115V inverter install on my tundra, but am going to do it on the 4Runner too once I get another inverter and outlet. I've already cut the hole above the radio between my rock light switch and the power antenna switch, and glued the backing in place for the switch. Should've taken a better pic after I got it cleaned up. My Tundra used a Tacoma switch (got off eBay for $20, other inverter stuff from pull a part for $13). Here's the pics!

Nice! Been wanting to do a sub box for a while, just haven't gotten around to it. For those rear panels, do they just pop out?

Yota Dude, yeah, there are 4 screws in the L trim above it and then the push pins in the actual panel itself. Pretty easy to pop off. Just take your time since they can be a little brittle since they're pretty old. Min have a few hairline cracks in them.

Hers better pics of the 115V switch in the center and the three gang switch. I painted the bottom parts black til I can find a grey that matches closer, or I may just leave it black, not sure.

Did the four switch mod above the radio today and repainted the bottom part of the speedo console flat black. I didn't like the way the gloss black looked after doing the 3 gang mod on the left side. Looks bitter now!

Very nice and what kind of paint did you use? I have an 88 4 Runner with grey interior that I was planning to do the same thing. I mounted LED marker lights that really light up the back end very nicely.
