r150's cost that much? Jeez I knew they were holy grail but dangIan, I was curious if it was you that told me one time to not bother with those soft touch switches? they have them at Pep Boys.
I was also thinking of using the push button type with the black face instead... try and get a few colors for each purpose, etc.
Just curious if that was you who has told me not to get those soft touch ones.

on the contrary, it took me a bit over a week to get rid of a w56-e (late-model w56) when i listed it for free

Can't wait for that day that it resumes full swing! X2 on the sentiments above! Great ideas abound,.... many of which I've already used!
Excited about the boat as well, can't wait for some trip pix.

I look forward to future updates.
I thought it was only the southeast getting all this messy weather? Y'all feel free to keep it up there, i think we have had two rain free days in the last three months.
Have fun with your boat.

Thanks Ian,just found this thread,been searching for info on timing chain replacement for my 91 ext cab 22re,and ran across this, it's been a fun read although i'm only through about half..I'm gonna do some of things you did to yours,had add a leaf springs in the garage for about 4yrs now, they'll be going on as soon as I get the timing chain oil leak fixed,had it replaced a year ago by some kids at the shop class of a local high school,runs great however it leaks real bad,so thats first ...Good luck with yours and keep the posts coming !!

Ooooh, Trunion bearing eliminator..... Read up on that and then spoke to Eric and I believe Scotty, and someone else... They all seemed to share more con's than pro's. I can't remember what the primary Con was, but I'll ask again as I'm still tossing a few things around.....
How you been, Ian?

I finally got through this entire thread. Wow! Lots of stuff I'm wanting to do to my 4Runner as well as to a Pickup when I pick one up. I have a few leads....we'll see when I finally return to the states. Work keeps me on the go and busy too much.

Trailer looks good Ian but it needs an awning imo... and maybe some Corona or Havana Club pennants... I'm guessing the grill was still in the back of the truck... nice beach but where are the wahini's?

Did you switch the cover on the switch?
so for the pictures (as if i don't have enough)
i got a nice switch off of ebay. i think it's a defroster switch (same plug, same internal workings), but with a different symbol and lense
and it looks factory, so i was stoked about that
my dash for most of wednesday
when i wired the lights up, i wanted to be sure that i didn't leave them on to drain the battery (again). so i wired them up to a relay controlled by both the switch and the light reminder relay. here is where i tapped it. (green is +12v when the running lights are on)
now for some test shots. all of these were shot at the same exposure and about the same angle
low beams
high beams
hellas
i angled them lower than the high beams, yet a bit higher than the lows. it works out nicely, and doesn't blind people. i have noticed that there are fewer people trying to cut me off
in the words of the great porky pig:
abalee abalee abalee that's all, folks!

ebay: toyota fog light switch
but there are guys who do, in fact, change the cover to make it a different symbol. i forget where i saw it, but you can try searching around on the goog
also, i just bought another r151f. not sure what i'm going to do with it yet, but i have it. i may end up cleaning it off a bunch and swapping it into my truck later on. don't know

Behemoth balls! I'm really sorry to hear that man... What are your contingency plans? You think just pulling around the trailer in the sand and so forth might have put it over the edge ?
Hoping for the least depressing news bud! Couldn't be PCV? I figure you thought of that first thing, but it cant hurt to mention it, right?
