So in order to take the scout camping in the Runner, I had to get it registered. I also realized that since I removed the front bumper that I had no front blinkers :no: So I improvised! I temporally mounted a couple LED strips that I picked up from Williams Offroad Lighting.
They work great during the day, but they are way to bright at night :lol: I talked to Brandon and he is going to get some amber ones on their way for me!!
I also had my first oil change since the pan swap and seafoam treatment. After 50ish miles I couldn't believe how black the oil was.
I did think of a couple other things that I need to address.
1. no speedometer. I need to find a speedo sensor from a Tacoma. The 3rd gen uses the ABS sensors and the Tacomas did not :?: :?:
2. Brakes worked much better, but I still want to have them power bled and see if I can get them back to where they were before.
3. Need to finish painting the frame and rear bumper. It is driving me nuts.
4. Steering is a little stiffer than I like. I am thinking next winter adding hydro assist. My dad can get a kit from the tractor shop for about 1/2 the price of the name brands and they work just as well.
5. I am getting a little noise from the 3/4 elliptical slapping the frame. I either need to put some rubber between them or fab a mount where I can lock it down while driving on the road.
6. Getting a little more sway than I like. I think locking down the elliptical and adding Hydro assist will help that but we shall see!!!
7. Need a full sized spare
8. Decide whether or not to pull out the spare mount in the cargo bay. It was actually pretty nice to be able to double layer the gear without having to pile it. I might try to find a way to put it in and out easily.
