Big fat front mounted intercoolers can cause clearance issues with front turn signals.

It’s a Toyota color. The code for the USA is called “salsa red”, in Australia the same code is used on current production 70-series and is simply “merlot”.

3H4 medium red pearl.

I've seen multiple 80s in that color, including my wife's 1995. They NEVER, EVER, looked that good.

That is what it was, it’s a bit different color in 2025.

Does the current version of 6M1 do the same thing?

Not that I am aware of.

This is a different color code than 3H4, If I recall correctly it is 3Q3. Yup.

I prefer the look of the OEM headlights, but the light output on them sucks compared to my 200 series. Hopefully the ARB bumper will tame the bling a little bit.

Did the clutch pedal come fitted with the cruise control switch or did you add that?

Getting all four doors to this point before interior work.

The Morel speakers have a cross over in each door. We built this mount for them out of some aluminum.

Wiring in progress.
