hey HI there redeth lol yeah she was about to become a partout crushed 1st gen when i snagged her

oh what a day today first good storm of fall an wham huge gusts an rain nearly horizontal numerous cities around here no power all day we lost power at 11 an it just came back on about 8pm we ate out me checking with the power company's help line for updates all is well now .. clocks flashing all over the house... lol

 

well havent done much with the runner no $ it doews let the paint set good an hard on the hood but got a happy surprise an hour ago the rear backing plates arrived from Tallt WOOhoo an they look great THANK YOU TALLT!

 

Damn I didn't realize you had commented prior to your last one. Thanks for replying. And glad you're restoring your rig. These are all classics in my opinion. And it makes me happy to seeing a sexy runner on the street.

Sorry to hear about the storm. I love storms out here in CA. I like rain and the cold. And usually, for me, that means snow up at big bear mountain. Meaning snowboarding season is coming up as it gets closer and closer to December woot woot! Lol

As for the no money... I look forward to see what happens when you do get some. I on the other hand got stocked up on 1st gen 4runner parts this past weekend. Super rare find at the junk yard now days so I took advantage. I just posted a video and typed out a list of everything I bought for you guys that keep up with my updates.

 

oh we have storms all winter Reddeth but when the first big one blows in an takes out 4 cities power an the power co asks people who call in to the emergency line 'have you seen anything wrong' its a bad day LOL they got it all fixed in about 8 hours

 

Miss hanging in Post Falls! Can't find those pics yet of jumping off the center of the bridge by the dam... 78ft. or something? Blew out both my eyes' capillaries at once... I got out the water, everyone went "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOE!" ....And I said, "What?" hahaha. Purple Eyes for a few days... but WOW, what a rush!

 

hey cyber just trying to check in on a few threads while I have a few mins. looks like you still makeing good progress, I completely understand the no funds thing.

 

i think yer meanin TWIN falls yep only place its legal to jump offa the bridge into the snake river gorge they do BASE jumping an also bunji but i think the bunji is a business

all they ask if your jumping off give the police a courtesy call so they dont think you've jumped without a chute an call the paramedics an rescue

 

hey jason youive been a BUSY man no worries so you gona do a pinstripe on that yellow? or see if you can get like the factory stripes?

 

coming along nicely, going to be a good looking yota when you get done man.

 

Oh yea that sounds pretty scary lol 4 cities wow. This time last year we had winds pick up to almost 75mph and knocked down tons of trees and power lines in the city of San Gabriel. My band members who live out there didn't have power for 3&1/2 weeks lol that sucked for them. Not to mention no practice for a month haha.

 

Just seeing how things are coming along for you. In my younger days would of tried something like that off of a bridge. Life gets a little rough without power, you dont realize it until it is gone and then everything seems to revolve around it.

 

yup pick up a book an enjoy reading need the loo? flashlight time lol
it all got fixed we had to eat out that night which i enjoyed :-D golden corral much awesomeness

kris is thinking we can yank the rear axle this weekend an do several things
1. zuk mod springs, need to make the retainer on top of the leafs as the PO removed the bump stops usually used to hold the coils in place
2. backing plates, since they are in such terrible shape and then go through an lube the Ebrake cables after the plates then we can finally full bleed the system

i cringe at the further issues were gona find but have ta face it eventually

 

ahh the T5 or#74 LED's arrived today!



now they did need a bit of work to fit the tabs on them are a tiny bit bigger than the normal sockets but a couple gentle rubs with a file to open the slot of the dash hole an pop they were in then i checked polarity looking inside the little things one side has the resistor which came out as the + side an for a quick test BRRR 34 degrees out side thank you for no wind!

**off** yes that little white square is the light


and **ON**


using my old pc powersupply which was working the electrolis tank i knew it would provide 12V dc
now to install it an make sure things like the 4x4 an rear door lights (which are these LED come on one of the harness clip points in the cluster has no retaining tabs i hope it doesnt give me issues later on

 

Those are going in your gauges and dash? ........ Didja get a good deal on a package from this place?

 

just the indicator lights for 4x4, check engine, rear door, and seatbelt i wasnt paying 3.96 each! which was for non replaceable bulbs in sockets when i got 10 of these for 3.69 though later on i likely will change out the #194's with T10 LED's just ahve to figure out if i want blue purple white yellow red green gauge illumination

and as i got a PM about the LED's this is the seller on ebay exrell automotive LED's ebay

LED to blub numbers
T10/#194
T5/#74

 

if you replace the bulb for the HVAC controls I want a stock one...

mine burned and replaced with a LED and I don't like it..

 

Damn those things look bright as hell.
Hey I don't know what color you plan to make your dash. But if you are curious to know what white looks like check out my Led dash thread. It's in my signature. Just to give u an idea of what it looks like.

 

havent gotten to that (my cover on the controls is broken) these have the #74 base attached but if i were to play with them a bit i could likely use one there

what is it bout the LED you dont like outsane? color?

 

yup i looked INFACT your thread is why i started on yotatech in the first place! i was looking at what youve done an went through the entire thing

LED's are cheap i might try several colors see which grows on the ol'dragon
