Swapped the led bulbs in the doors and overhead light. Made a huge difference in the lighting.

Those led's are sweet! I'll have to get some.

Because of the Led lights I am using for blinkers, my blinkers now blink fast. Instead of using a resister between the relay and led lights to get it to work properly I wanted to find a led relay. I ordered one that was supposed to work based off of information on yotatech, but was not the correct one. In my searching for another one I ended up giving up and I pulled the stock relay apart and ground down the wire in the picture with my dremel until I was almost through the wire and now my blinkers work perfect.:wings:

Still trying to get blazeland to let me know about getting a kit for the 4runner. Probably just going to end up waiting until christmas bonuses and order up a total chaos or JD fab kit though.

Just sent payment for the blazeland kit :wings:

Got my trail-gear led blinkers mounted

Also got my front license plate mounted with a bracket that mounts behind the hawse fairlead and allows the license plate to be quickly removed for winching.

Welded up the front frame reinforcement plate for the winch bumper. It was quite the project as the plate holes did not match up with all the holes on the frame nor did they match up to the mounting holes on the bumper. If I were to do it again I would have just cut my own plate instead of ordering one. I used a air die grinder and was able to get all the holes to match up good enough.

Will install the bumper and winch today after work.

Good thread.

Curious who you bought your bumper plate from.

I bought the bumper plate from addicted offroad.

Did he give you an ETA on the blazeland kit?

Talked to him earlier and he said he was getting the lower control arms back from powdercoating today and will get it shipped out next week. T100 axles, ball joints, and bilstein shocks will be here saturday. Planning on pulling the front suspension off middle of next week and getting it all ready for when the kit arrives.

Getting the AC swapped over to R-134 and will have it back tomorrow with nice cool AC. Could have used it last week when it was 106 out and I was dying trying to keep cool headed home from work with no AC.

Wow! Thats exciting. Can't wait to see it...

Also, doesn't the kit come with balljoints? Which ones are you running?

Those are a must on trucks with winch bumpers.

No the kit does not come with upper or lower ball joints. Instead of using the ones that are on the rig now, I opted instead to run new ball joints for piece of mind.

Blazeland kit is shipping today:wings: Should be getting it next tuesday, so monday after work I will be pulling the old suspension off in preparation for the long travel arriving so I can hopefully bang it out in one night.
