    Randomly came across an overhead console with the temp and compass display in an 07 at work today. Yanked it out and grabbed a sensor off a newer 4Runner and installed it all in about 2 minutes after work in the parking lot, lol. Easiest upgrade ever!

    Just wish the display was blue so it matched everything else now...

    Thought about trying to find one or have some fab one up for my DC solely because of Back to the Future. Like a lot of members on here that was what made me want a Tacoma. Had to get a DC though cause I need the room.

    Doesn't feel right having them zip ties right against the frame. Annoys me already. 1/4 will fit well. Already used some 02 sensor shielding to protect the front from around the exhaust manifold. Poifect!

    Gonna change the gear oil when I reach 1000k on new diffs. As well as tcase. Then gotta mess around with some battery terminals and wiring.

    I only have a front airline, but it isn't even tied down. haha. Compressor is under the hood and I just ran the line down into the crossmember of the frame and into the diff. Luckily the front diff is stationary so not too big of a worry.

    Gear oil change is a good idea too. I changed mine at 1000 miles on the new gears.
