    you just flip the green wire to the different plugs, the turn signals will move up to where your marker lamps used to be its under the 1st gen diy mods

    Those wheels look great! I just picked up a set of the TRD sport wheels (for $200!) and I'm getting them powdercoated soon. I can't tell from the pics but did you go with matte black, satin, or gloss?

    How do you like those cooper s/t tires. Ive been thinking about getting them pretty soon. I heard they are supposed to last a long time and be decent in mud
