Have been visiting this forum for awhile now, thought it was time to register.
Have done several mods described in this forum.
1) Disable DRL (HATE that thing!)
Of course I'll take the insurance reduction for them. hehehe
2) Switched automatic lights on at night (switch in glove compartment)
If I want them on, I'll turn them on myself, dammit!
3) Fuel filter "catch can"
Was suprised at the amount of oil being sucked into the intake manifold via the PCV system. Filter mounted upright.
Works great!
4) Painted calipers (Red of course)
5) Switched/Automatic Illuminated Footwells (Blue Neon)
DIY section is great!
6) Red foglights that can be turned on ANYTIME via stalk switch.
I know, Red lights in front are illegal, but they gotta catch me first!
Red LED indicator when fogs are on
7) Cooling fans "on" LED indicator (green)
8.) Underhood temperature sensor
Turns cooling fans on at 210F
9) Amber light behind toyota symbol in front grill.
Comes on with running lights.
10) B&M Supercooler Transmission Cooler, Stacked Plate Design, 16Kgvw
Didn't use those crappy connectors, used stainless steel "L" brackets mounted in front of AC radiator approx. 1".
11) "Gutter Guard" lower grill.
12) Extended mud flaps.
13) Shaved emblems: Rear "toyota" and toyota symbol
14) TRD valve stem covers (red)
15) Low oil pressure warning buzzer
16) Gauges: Autometer Pro-Comp Ultra-Lite
Oil Pressure, Oil and Transmission Temp., Voltmeter.
Tapped into oil system via a drilled out sandwich plate.
Used 1 oil temp guage with switch for oil/transmission temp.
