Yup that's it, it lives above the right kick panel, you can see it if you remove the right speaker grill in the dash and pop out the speaker. You can sometimes hear it click on and off when you start and shut off the engine, it is the relay that turns on the fuel pump. Mine has been clicking on and off rapidly while going down the road.

Console and seats are in! Looked up front to discover something missing! Time to rebuild steering arms???

Think I saw on 4crawler.com bronze bushings for idler arm. Just thought I'd throw that out. I frequently bent idler arms when I had small torsion bar lift. I've read that replacing the plastic bushings with bronze is the fix but weren't available at the time as Downey was out of business.

I looked on his site and boy it's hard to understand. I may need to contact him and see if he can direct me. Thanks for the idea!

EDIT: Found it... Toyota IFS Idler Arm Upgrades

Interior is looking really nice. What center console did you settle on?

My best bud!

Made my door hinges with quick release pins.

Started on the bumpers finally! I'm starting with the rear as it should be easier. I'm going to add a good amount of support to their design. I think it will turn out nice when done, plus I'm adding a swing out. When both are done I'll have them sand blasted and powder coated.

 

[The Jade Bean]

Close!

 

[The Jade Bean]

DONE for today at least! Build pics to come.

Starting on the front now! It's a love/hate relationship sometimes.

Can I do a solid axle swap and keep my automatic transmission?
