    Not going to fit.

    With that said, fenders and hoods are very reasonably priced. Shop around and you could find all 3 for less than $300.

    My 00 fenders fit my 01-04 conversion perfect. All I changed was hood, grill, headlights and kept my same fenders.

    I think it depends if it's prerunner/4x4 or if it's base

    Stuff. Also things.
    Any of you guys ever remove an alarm system?

    I replaced my turn signal relay today, and this is what my dash vomited out at me.

    Pro quality install, for sure.

    Looks like the installer went to the Jerry-Rigg university of automotive knowledge.

    I'd get an OEM wiring diagram and match colors.

    Yep, at some point I just need to treat it like cancer surgery and slowly cut it out of the harness. Thankfully, the alarm wiring is pretty obvious due to the sweet clamp-on-wire connections.
    Yeah, I think I'd rather tackle a stereo, alarm or any other electrical job myself after seeing this.

    IMG_0996.jpg I found out how too now, I haven't drove this truck in over a year, I hope it's the gasket and not the head. I'm going to put my header on I've had for a couple of years...I hope

    Any of you guys uninstalled a k&n and went to a stock intake set up? I'm having trouble removing this adapter piece that goes from my maf into the k&n filter. It has to come off but I don't wanna yard on it and break the maf. It's the piece on the right in the photo

    Anyone here disabled the DRLs on a 2002? Is it a pain in the balls?
