Arcade games you say… post them up here before you go to the scrap yard with them!

 

I just swapped out my SwitchPro 9100 for the RCR-Force 12 and got so close to getting everything finished but not quite before my surgery. My buddy is going to finish it up for me but added a few more switches for the new lights. I add the 3 sets below at the corners.

 

Let me know if your buddy needs a hand. I can drop by.

 

Thanks I appreciate the offer. Sucks only having one arm

 

Post some more pics of the install when you get the chance.

 

I did not take a lot of the install. Before the surgery I had the use of my left arm but it was not cooperating with me very well

 

Random post here but I figure it could help someone else at some point.

I had a door lock actuator go out, and OEM units are $250. Aftermarket units are $100ish. I didn’t like either option so I did some research.

bought this:

$6 10mm Flat Shaft Central Door Lock Actuator Motor FC-280PC-22125 FLAT SHAFT, D Spindle, Power Locking Repair Engine

and watched this video:

It was super easy. I take no credit for this other than finding the motor on Amazon instead of eBay lol. Realistically took an hour from opening the door of my truck to being done, would probably take me 30 min scree doing it once.


Edit: yes the video is based on a 2008 but it was identical for my 2018.

 

The wife wanted something to drive so we searched just when all this crap broke loose and the prices of vehicles were stupid. I told her even though she just sold her car we both work from home, have one vehicle and a Golf Cart so let’s wait it out. Went on vacation and got a call from a dealer in Iowa with exactly what she was looking for at a cheaper price than we were willing to pay…

2 days later that 4Runner was in my driveway after I flew out and saved $13K. Guess where the $13K is now going…

 

Congrats!

 

Did you already get rid of the rims and tires?

 

Did YOU already sell YOUR rims yet?

 

Technically they were his wife’s, I guess I should have said, she still got em ?

 

@TRDFerguson karma bit me in the ass for making fun of your “chase lights”
After work I got in the truck and noticed my cargo lamp button illuminated, I have no idea if I/or when it was turned on? Momma bear drove it last night, so I’ll blame it on her. Luckily I’ve got LEDs in it, so hopefully I didn’t melt the reflector

 

I was more interested In getting your old ones for my ol runner.

 

lolol, we made it i dunno 20 ish miles home, he had his lights on and a water bottle chilling between bed and cab.

 

My rims? Hehe I already have a set of trail wheels painted “crack copper” and a set of snowflakes for the trailer build, haha I don’t even know why I asked, I need more rims, like you need more LED lights!

 

Hey now, I can always use more lights.

 

Congrats, looks great! Were you at Discount Tire, on Gilbert & Riggs, Thursday evening? I saw this 4Runner, or one that looked exactly like that, leaving there at 6 pm

 

Yes we had a 5:00 appointment and they removed 5 wheels and tires, swapped the TPMS’s, mounted/balanced all 5 of the new ones and got the new spare set up and we left the parking lot just before 6:00. That was us.

I sold the wheels and tires in less than 24 to a guy in Tucson

 

For you guys that are familiar with the box canyon/Florence area, any recommendations on dispersed camping spots that are away from the crowds but within 30 minutes or so of where the 60 and 79 meet? I'm gonna be down that way next weekend. Won't have time to run trails but might try and camp instead of getting a hotel or airbnb. From satellite it looks like I could just pick any random dirt road that looks interesting, but I won't have all day to drive around looking.

 

There are a bunch of spots along Cottonwood road off 79, just depends on your definition of away from the crowds I guess…

 

Is that usually a pretty busy area on the weekends?

 

There was a lot of traffic up and down the road, but you can find spots pretty far off there if desired. I’ve never camped there though, just been one of those assholes driving way too fast on Cottonwood.

 

That’s close enough to your house, I feel a slumber party in the making!

 

Go fast, take chances

 

I've been in the main Terminal 4 one with with my truck before. I'm a few inches over stock height but didn't have any issues.

 

Also, good luck on the interview!

 

Ditto!!!
