I'm guessing it's those 6 bolts, the fuel neck, and the taillight harnesses that's keeping to the frame?

 

Me - "maybe that's better than an automatic"

Glad I could introduce you guys to the magic of the clutch start cancel button.

 

that's pretty awesome. Will have to try, i can imagine 5.29s are only better haha

just undo the bolts and then use a jack to jack up the side where the tank is. You'll have plenty of access without removing it. But..removing it isn't too much harder so can't hurt if you have an extra hand or two to help lift.

 

Just googled it. There was an 87" bed. The Nest wouldntw be long enough without the rear extending past the tailtail a bit on a 6ft bed.

 

Nice! Any chance you have me climbing up the cliffhanger obstacle with just the starter?

 

X3 on LED backup light bulbs. Where and part number? Great mod!

 

very cool. That was for the 70s yota beds?

 

That one I do not have unfortunately lol I think I was just taking pics then. Only have a shot of James because he was stuck there for so long.

 

That's so awesome

 

The A/C control panel used 3x NEO4 from SuperBright Leds. The switches I used the same NEO4 bulbs x3 but modified them, write up here. On the dash I replaced all the red warning indicators except low fuel with

$9 cciyu Red T5/T4.7 Neo Wedge 3 SMD A/C LED Light Bulbs Instrument Panel Indicator Lamp,10 Pack

these from Amazon and the actual instrument cluster lights I used

$10 Yorkim 194 LED Bulbs Red Super Bright New 5th Generation, T10 168 LED Bulb for Car Interior Dome License Plate Map Door Courtesy Lights W5W 2825, Pack of 10

these from Amazon they also work in the third brake light. For the shifter I used this one from Superbright.

For the cup holders I drilled a 1/16 inch hole then glued a small white plastic spacer with an 1/8 hole in the center to the backside of cup holder. like this one, I picked them up at ACE hardware.


2 12volt

$9 Honbay 50pcs Mixed Colour 5mm LEDs Pre Wired Light 12V 20cm Bulb

red LED's like these from Amazon drilled the spacer just a little so bulbs fit snug. Wired them into the shifter light.

The backup bulbs are the ones I linked to in my original post.

 

Interesting with regards to the "cold" range on your temp dial. Do you have light transmitting through that section or is that just glare?

On mine the blue paint completely blocks any red light transmission:

 

Hm, mine don't shine all the way to the right and one didn't work from the get go. Yeah, I turned it 90 and 180. Yup bought it from superbrightled's.

 

There just that bright the make it glow.

 

So light shines through?

 

I received 1 that didn't work and 3 the wrong color. But superbright took care of it no question asked.

 

I think it bleeds around it thru the plexiglass
