good job on the 4runner.... just one question... how come the orange side markers? most people like the clear look. i personally like the orange look, but i did it with LEDs. How did he orange the side markers?

edit: i just read the other thread about the orange corner lights... it all makes sense now... and yes, i want to see more pics of these when theyre on and youre all setup

Yup thats right, my runner is moving on to a new home. I hate to say I'm kind of sad about about selling my truck. I have had quite a few good memories with the runner. I'm glad that its going someone who appreciates what I've done and not to some soccer mom.

I must say say THANKS YOTATECH for setting up things up.

I really don't know what the replacement will be. Either a 4th gen or the new FJ. I'm moving back to Van in June and I need funds to buy a house. Cool thing is at least I can go offroading with Bob in my truck in its latest incarnation.

Well... what can I say... Dave and I have been working on this sale for a little while now... was just waiting for the right time to come....

I have one or two mods ready to go ... wink wink... and I went out today, and got a few more little fun toy$ too.... those I keep secret till I can get some pics of them installed....

I did order my clear corners so I will get my fully orange ones on there soon... And I emailed Steve today from SS about a TJM T-17 bumper, sliders, and the panhard drop bracket... we will see though....

Talk is all good, but Im sure you all are tired of my talk and no action.... soon friends...soon
