    The hella's are behind the grill. I need to fix my billet grill and get more room back there because as it sits right now I can't properly aim the lights. I also can't wait to retrofit my stock headlights. Having three shades of color lights up front is driving my ocd insane. :p

    Here's the large pic:

    I haven't had it for long (2 oil changes of conventional Mobil) But it was a company truck that was used as a survey vehicle for the oil field. Lot's of idling, mud, and general abuse. They did send me service records for the past 8 years, but none mentioned oil type used.

    As far as the lifting points on the motor go, I can't help you. But for the fuel lines, as long as it connects to the tank/fuel pump the same then the only other thing is that you might have to make some changes at the motor side. But other than those two things, I'm pretty sure they are routed the same under the truck. You might also be able to just splice in the filter into the existing lines under the cab and then put a union where the filter is now :notsure:.

    Was that for lower ball joints and nothing else? You can get them a lot cheaper than that online!

    They were $148 apiece and the other ones I saw were around the same price so I bought these, when I was getting estimates they were quoting me $500 + PER ball joint! so I thought I was doing good haha What ball joints did you buy?

    I bought OEM lower ball joints for my 97 regular cab 4wd. Think they were $86 each online through camelback Toyota out of Arizona. Now I am going to install myself so no labor.
