wake_roks' 1997 4Runner Build-Up Thread
i bought this 4runner a few weeks ago and it was in need of some TLC..... it had been in a wreck before and it obviously cut the wire harness during the wreck.... so my dad bought a wrecked 4runner that was a limited... with a rear locker and 86,000 miles...... i swaped the hole intire front wire harness for into it...... then i realized that the wrecked one was a canada model and had daytime running lights.... so now i don't have headlights... but i'm still happy because now at least it runs and turns off without killing the battery... but now i took the enterior pieces out of the limited and installed them into my 4runner..... (door panels, dash trim, leather seats) and i'm working on the e-locker now..... and i have a pretty sweet idea about how to rig up an undercover locker switch.... i'm going to use the 4wd shifter out of the limited and use the button on the side that says 4wd for the electric locker...and just to let all of you guys know, i did all of this work by myself and i'm currently 15 and waiting for my drivers license.... but anyways.... there is way more to come... and i'm trying to do pictures now......
how i got it
