On the 4Runner?

Tommy want wingy..
Going to the local pick-n-pull Saturday to get some parts, figured I'd grab some rubber grommet blinkers to see if I want to either drill my corner lights to add blinkers or just mount the TG LED blinkers...
Drilling side markers method:

TG LED blinkers: (think I'll get the clear ones)
Id drill the side marker. The LEDs flash wildly w/o the right relay under hood. Plus its cheaper and a bit cleaner looking. I dont really like the TG LED blinkers on my red truck. I will fix that soon.

Putting this here for future reference, got a line on a 7.5" Supra LSD for cheap and am thinking of putting it in my front diff...opinions?

I saw one for fitting it in the 8" but not the front IFS 7.5"

How good a deal is it true tracs are only 400 or so. Not to mention the supra different has clutch packs that will likely need to be replaced if its a high mileage unit.
My thoughts exactly, but I got distracted by work before I could post them

Its 1/4th of that...$100, but I don't know the condition yet so I'm waiting to hear back. Haven't found to much info on people using them in the 7.5 but I do know there is a rebuild kit for them if its a high mileage unit. They're meant to hold up w/ 300+hp so I don't think my 183hp 3.4 is going to hurt it. I may see if I can find one at picknpull tomorrow for cheaper and just go ahead and rebuild it. Today is the first time I've even heard of using a Supra LSD in the IFS diff so I'm still doing research to see if its a good idea. At the very least I figure I can get one and rebuild it then sell it to make some extra $$ since they can be used in both the reverse and normal rotation 7.5" differential.

Ok, not my 4Runner but I don't want to start another thread just yet. My fiance got in a fender bender a couple months ago so she is finally letting me start modding her 4Runner. So first mod is a new (to me) ARB bumper:
Drew and I cut the frame this past Friday, here it is after paint:
For some reason the tie down and tow hook bolts were missing so I had to go pick some up at Napa (M12-1.25) and then the finished product:
I still need to make some adjustments and wire up the turn signals but I didn't have time yesterday cause it was the little bro's bday so we had to run to dinner.

Looks nice man. I'm sure she's happy to be driving around town with a bumper again,
Yeah, she wasn't going to drive it to school w/o a bumper so I had to do a quick install yesterday after work...sweated my ass off in only 30 min!
