Installed these bulbs in my gauge pod this morning. What a difference and a 2 minute job. I could hardly read the gauges beforehand. If you have not used LED bulb before they are polarity sensitive. If they don't light up, rotate the holder 180 degrees and reinstall.

Installed a Jensen wireless CarPlay radio today. Sounds so much better than the factory radio and the BlueTooth adapter.

My Prado came with a chrome grill guard and a stainless steel ladder. I had them both powder coated black and I think it looks much better.

Stopped by the local Toyota dealer today to order new CVs. I asked about getting a new key programmed and the old school service writer opened up my key and said I don’t have an immobilizer. They cut a regular key and it started, no issues. Guessing the JDM trucks lack this feature.

Changed out both CVs and lower ball joints. I was so wrapped up in the project that I failed to take any pictures. Not to bad of a job, it only took about 2.5 hours thanks to a friend who has a 2 post lift in his garage.

Swapped out the A/C belt today. After buying and returning 2 belts the winning size turned out to be 46 5/8“ which my local NAPA had in stock.
