Maintenance so far:
Denso Iridium POWER plugs.
Toyota Cap & Rotor.
Toyota PCV valve and grommet.
Strong Arm Hood Supports.
Weathertech floorliners front to back.
Michellin wipers all around.
More maintenance to come.
First oil change. Denso filter and 5w/ 30 mobil one. Runs like a top, engine sounds like a sewing machine. Thanks man.

lol, yes it does.
Nice rig. Not to detract - but I don't think thats a bonafide collectors edition - I think someone maybe applied stickers. If collectors edition it would have grey side moldings along the body line, black pearl emblems (not silver) front and rear, darkened wheel "windows"/insets and automatic HVAC. This is what it would look like from the outside...
Make sure to keep the Monterey Bay Aquarium sticker... street cred!
Take the roof rack off, you'll find some rust. What's the mileage?
Ya beat me to it. Nevertheless, very nice ride.Nice rig. Not to detract - but I don't think thats a bonafide collectors edition - I think someone maybe applied stickers.

Yeah I don't know if it's real or not. It has 3 collectors edition emblems. 2 on the fenders and one on the liftgate. Also I noticed the rear toyota emblem is in the center of the liftgate where others are on the left side?
91-96 are to the left - 97's are center. Do you have automatic climate control? that would be definitive answer:
Climate Control
Non-Climate Control

No it doesn't have climate control. That "auto" button. Why would someone buy emblems and put them on lol? Anywhere you see what looks to be wetness or leaking oil is where I sprayed fluidfilm to protect from salt. I sprayed the clamps on those heater hoses thats why they look wet.

Would swapping control panels work? Or is there more involded than that?

Just received my sunroof visor.
It's more involved than that.Would swapping control panels work? Or is there more involded than that?

That's what I figured.
I've got the same sunroof visor, yours is the only other one like it I've seen!
What's more involved with the auto climate control install?

Sweet! Took me a minute to find one in good shape. Not sure about the auto/clim. I'm guessing needs more parts/ sensors etc...........
