Mlcc 02 DC build thread

Just mounted the ditch lights, and a new grille is on order.

 

Put on my new grille, the emblem is original. I need to do a good poser shot some where, there's a ton of snow here already

 

Did your mpg decrease a lot after you installed the front bumper?

 

Not that I've noticed, I still get about 300 miles on a tank of gas.

 

Cool thx. Ik thinking about ordering a kit but don’t want my mpgs to tank

 

Just finished installing the winch, now I need to go wheeling.

 

I put on a set of spare steel wheels and they fit over the tundra brakes and pretty much clear everything with my old 285/75R16's but they rub on the frame at full turn these will be my summer street setup so I still have a good set of mud tires for the crappy seasons and wheeling.

 

I finally found a canopy that didnt cost an arm and a leg and had all the glass intact. Plus scored some mud flaps.

 

Used my 4runner to pull a dent out of of the rear bumper.... its good enough till I get a real bumper.

 

So found why my front suspension was sagging. I ordered new bushings from wheelers and ill be installing them soon.

 

Pressed the new bushings in, a thin wall 30mm socket works perfect for the job.

 

So yesterday was the second time ive overheated the transmission, but this time in the snow. Looks like new tranny fluid and a aux cooler is in my future. Ordered this tranny cooler from summit racing

Since my truck likes deer meat so much I had to replace my fender and my marker light. It turned out pretty good for a rattle can job. Also I replaced both marker lights with ones that have black trim and it looks way better now that it matches the grille.

 

Then with all the fender fiasco I got rid of the stock washer bottle it bugged me that it stuck out like a sore thumb with the high clearance bumper so I got a bottle from fred meyers and it fits perfect between the core support and the air filter box.

 

Where'd you get the fender? I need to replace my driver side.

 

Carparts.com the fender fit better then what was on there and it came in black primer. And I also got the corner lights from there too.

 

Sounds good. I haven't started shopping yet but I'll start there.

 

More info on the 96 Camry headrests please.

Anything special about them? Or just “they fit and they’re cheaper?”

My headrests are shot.

 

They fit and where sitting around. Mine like yours were shot. Im willing to bet just about any yota head rest from around the same year will fit.
Edit: the camry head rests are considerably thicker I dont recommend them unless your desperate. I still have them because I havent looked for a better alternative that doesn't cost a whole lot.

 

Seriously considering on getting a rear coastal offroad bumper to match the front and ditch my mangled rear bumper.
