Hi all. Looking for advice. I have a 91 that I'm not 100% happy with the way it brakes. When I bought the LC, I also bought a 94 full floating rear axle and 16" wheels with the intent of doing a rear axle swap and changing out the front disks and calipers as well. I like the way the larger...

I thought I’d share, but I have replaced the second row radio with power outlets, clipping into the factory wiring harness. Check it out! It was pretty simple to do. Took a while to find the correct clip (so I didn’t have to cut up the old harness). A quick 3D print and some minor wiring later...

Yes, I have searched and searched and searched the forum...and I haven't found an option that seems to work for me (that I can understand anyway). I don't do many MODs as I'm not mechanically inclined or afraid to screw up my truck! BASICALLY, I'm looking for a headlight...

Just bought a 2007 FJ and found that the stock aluminum wheels had the chrome peeling off of them due to corrosion. I looked at getting TRD wheels off a Tacoma, but found that the price and offset differences made them unattractive to me. So I decided to sandblast the chrome off the wheels and...
