It works really well, i tried to take a few photos at night but they just don't do it justice. Lights up the whole cab. I just bought it at Autozone, it was around $15. Thanks for the comment!

my friend kyle took some photos of me and my truck at night with his medium format, they came out pretty cool...
also this is a pretty good example of the dome light, its probably a little less bright but thats pretty close

summer plans:
im sick of the stock headlights so im gonna give the ebay autopal headlights a shot, heres the thread about em.
I also wanna fix the suspension in the truck because after 20 years its pretty crappy. I think im gonna go with OME leafs for the rear and get some bj spacers from 4crawler.
Oh also planning on getting the truck painted, got a quote from Maaco for $275 just for the spray, so ill do all the prep work. I think im gonna go with the old landcruiser color Olive Brown (also seen it as Olive Green), heres a picture. Any comments would be appreciated... I'll probably matte black the chrome on the grill as well, ill post up some more recent photos of the truck soon.

I removed the decals (the glue residue is still there)
I bought a stainless steel latch for around $8 keep my gas cap in place, pop riveted it in place
so thats the truck as of right now, hopefully in a few weeks I'll have some good updates! Including new paint/upgraded suspension/and some pictures of camping and truckin' with SCUMBLE!!

Hey all thanks for the comments!
So far I've prepped the truck for paint,exterior only.. I got a quote from Maaco for $275 so I figured I can't go wrong with that.
It's goin in on Monday morning and I should have er back by Tuesday
I chose the Toyota FJ40 color Olive Brown (code 653)
here's how the paint should look:
Afterwards I think Im gonna spray most of the chrome matte black, I also unbolted the bed hooks and sandblasted them, also got some SS bolts to replace all the original phillips head bolts I destroyed with an easy out ha, so the truck should look nice and pretty in a few days!
