How many miles? And is it louder on startup? If your timing chain has never been done it could be ratting against the right side of the timing cover. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/305067909923205

I went with a vibrant resonator, it's almost to soft now... Once I get it running again I am going to try running it without the muffler to see how it sounds. I used v bands between the cat and muffler, and just after the muffler.

Since you’ll likely want to add more circuits as you continue to build your truck (light bars, etc), it is probably best to invest in an auxiliary fuse block now.

Something simple like this from Amazon should do the trick: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HDZVW3P/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabt1_bOVTFb45P2SQ6

Now if you want this to be tied into the auxiliary circuit, buy a relay and tap into the fuse block on the truck to power the coil on the relay.

Pull all new wires for everything you want to add.

I run something similar to these or these on both my 4runner and my XJ (I think I have that second link). I personally would not recommend getting an H4 kit, investing in antiquated technology that is now outdated is not worth your time. Stick with something LED that gives you DLRs and High/Low.

Good God I just googled it, $160 for a PAIR?!?!?!?!?!

I know what I'm getting myself for Christmas.

Maybe try something like this:

Thanks! The cluster bulbs were these The climate control bulb was this guy

I’m in this same boat and all I can find at a reasonable price are barrel end only on one side and ball end on the other.

I’ll check out the second gen recommendation from others but OP I’m thinking about taking my old ones cut off the barrel ends, cutting off the ball end of the new ones, then clamp or otherwise adhere (solder) the old barrels to the new pulls.

These are the barrel/ball end pull cables I’ve been looking at

Nice man, bet those look sweet! Love the black and red combo.

I used this product off Amazon: CAR GUYS Plastic Restorer - The... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071FRWWRF?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I'm sure there's better ones but this was fairly cheap and worked good. I'll probably repaint the trim eventually

I purchased these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0145ULIJC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Shoved them right in between the bump stop no welding, they perfectly set after a good road trip and haven't made noise since. Fixed the slump and rides a lot better in general, after a few years of having them I can say I might have gone with the 150lb but still holding up great.

Hey thanks for the response, I'm going to be just replacing the arch itself. Not the whole panel, so like a patch piece. I guess the structural adhesive I was thinking would be this

Just aftermarket ones I got from amazon. Couldn't stomach the $150 set I saw in ebay for originals lol. They're ok, but were kinda tricky to install since it's hard to know where exactly to drill the holes.

I have this as my driver's side mount and a stock passenger mount. It's an overlapping mount so if it breaks it will still stay together. Bolts right in and the vibes aren't bad.

I bought this wiring harness

And a buddy actually gifted me the lamps but you can probably find them on amazon.it was a stupid simple install

2 different issues here. 4 wire OR 1 wire, your ecu does not use the o2 sensor signal until your coolant is up to temp and you go from open-loop to closed-loop. So if you're running for shit during warm up it is not o2 sensor related. What exactly is it doing? Low idle? Miss?

As for the 4 wire conversion, it is admittedly anecdotal, but in my experience with my own 22re's (a lot!) and helping out many of my friends with their Toyotas, a 4 wire conversion has never been necessary. Plenty of people on the forums not doing that conversion without issue. No CEL's, no rich condition. O2 sensors only need 600 degrees to operate and that is not a lot in terms of exhaust gas temp.

Take it for what you will, this is just my experience.

From what I can find of people actually testing known-good O2 sensors, the 1 wire and 4 wire give out exactly the same readings in these trucks.

I would not be surprised if people are replacing ancient single wire sensors with a new 4 wire and assuming that the sensor heater was the issue. When really their old ass 02 sensor just wasn't working anymore. They do go bad over time.

And, yeah... LCE is selling that sensor for $60 bucks. $40 more than anywhere else on the planet.

Here it is on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Denso-234-1057-Oxygen-Sensor/dp/B000C5WCFO Might as well give it a shot before rewiring everything. $23 bucks rather than the headache of getting switched 12V down there.

EDIT: unfair to compare LCE 4 wire to single wire on Amazon. The 4 wire is $26 on ebay, part 234-4050

My rear bench cover is one made for a Jeep it fits ok, after some trial and error.

they attach to the rain gutters on the front windows and then I have a little section on rain gutter bolted in the shell
