Noted. I think I will run a bead on both inside lips, that way when pressed back into place for the final hook down, nothing can get in the inside.

Mine is an auto. Autos usually create more torque, however the Toyota autos are know for robbing power and economy. V6's with autos are know for only getting about 13-15 mpg.

3rd Brake Light Addition

Since the 3rd brake light wasn't standard till 94 and I tow on a regular basis I thought the addition of a 3rd brake light would be a good safety addition. wii tarded had purchased a wrecked 95 from a used car lot that had a good brake light. He was kind enough to sell it with the wiring. It was green so I had to paint it to match, no problem there. I made a paper template to locate the holes for the two mounts and for the wire harness. After re-gluing the rubber seal in place and putting some RTV sealant around the bolt holes I set the brake light in place and tightened it down. Fortunately the 93 4Runner came with the 3rd brake light plug already in the harness, so all I needed to do was plug it in. The addition of a 3rd brake light on my 93 was complete. All that is left is to trim my rear air deflector to allow for clearence.

Wheel Question?

James, can you tell me the offset and backspacing of the 16" wheels. They are a nice fit.
