After 12 years of running a 7MGE swap in my 1st gen 4runner, it's time for a change. The 7M is a great engine and has never let me down - not a single head gasket issue after putting ARP head bolts in it and has towed my trailer from coast to coast several times. But, it does lack a bit of...

fiberglass dash repair / modification
I've been tired of of looking at the cracked dash for awhile now. So yesterday I pulled the dash out and took the clinometer off so I could sell it (never really use it anyway). In the process of searching for a way to fix my cracked dash pad I read this...

LED madness has taken over with numerous threads on the subject, but you can't argue with the light output and low current draw these offer.
I found these overpriced LED strips from Autozone and decided to upgrade the interior lighting in my 4runner since the “Deck Light” is all but useless...
I know, I know, what's a non-member doing here cross posting from another forum? I'm not really active over there (actually saw this on MidAtlantic Toyota Crawlers). From what I gather, they'll be running at least 2 groups - 1 running green/blue and one blue/black - maybe more, but it doesn't...

I've been lugging around a NWMP fuel tank for the last 14 months and I finally got tired of moving it around to different locations, so I decided to finally install it today. It's supposed to be a gravity feed system with a hose running into a fitting where the main tank drain plug is on the...
It started with trying to take out the fuel pump so I could put a fitting on the plate for my aux gas tank to drain into the main tank. In the process of trying to take off the pressure flex line I quickly sprung a leak in the rust/cancer infested metal line on top of the tank (the one shooting...
