AC button on my 88 is in the lower left of the climate control panel. Looks like you can see it in this pic, little square kinda behind that blue wiring connector.

Sorry I do not have the dash out. Thankfully that chapter has been closed till I decide to put a newer dash in.

Yeah. I know where the button goes on front. I'm changing out heater/A/C faceplate and the new one has the hole for the green button. I just wanted to know where it plugs into the wire loom. I was wondering if I need this intermediate harness with relays. I'll figure it out. I'm just not ready to take out the glove compartment and put the (condenser?)box etc. in.

4Runner Catch Can Install

Installed a catch can this weekend, using a Craftsman inline air filter for a compressor PN:16009. I ran out of hose so I had to use some air compressor hose(orange) i had laying around. The catch can runs from the PCV to the drivers valve cover into the can then clean air is sent to the manifold.
I hate the fact that the auto industry thinks its totally fine to feed oil vapor into the intake manifold, often before the throttle body, creating a total mess of things that should never see any oil.

Thanks
Yes the large holes will get lights, I just haven't gotten around to purchasing some. I was going to go with LEDs from PIAA, but some reviews said they just don't have the light density a stardard halogen does.

Brother! I gotta tell you, I am absolutely blown away with my DDM Tuning HIDs in the round eye housings! Dude they are so blinding and grey cut off, even with these used round eyes that I got which have a little bit of a black spot on the top where it burned it away. Its funny how the entire kit 4 the HIDs with bulbs is cheaper then the round eye housings, but I'm serious man, I am so pleased I can't even begin to tell you! I feel bummed that I waited so long to be honest. My Silverstar sealed beams were really bright though, for what they are, I have to admit. But I was running H4's in the round eyes and was very underwhelmed. I think my Silverstar sealed beams were brighter to be honest. I've been posting a bunch of pictures lately, I think I posted some pictures of those headlights if you want to see. I ordered some bulbs from DDM Tuning and they shipped from China but they have a really good reputation and I got mine within a week. 5000K ...IN LOVE! Lol

Thanks Mark, I'll look into them they sound great.
KHW, I don't recall, but I think I used '00 also. I'll look thru my notes for part numbers, I thought I posted them in here, but maybe not. You can also use larger Tundra brakes as well, they bolt right on only have to trim the dust shield if you have one. This is as long as you are running a 16" rim.

finally got some pics to upload from the trip to Red Cloud Offroad Park.





A winch was required...more later.


I did manage to bend the tire carrier, just need to cut and weld the tire higher.
