If I remember to take pics I will. I always forget that part. The one how to I was gonna follow was a very old thread that got deleted off another forum when they moved servers, soo it'll be fun figuring it all out.

Ordered up a couple things a few days ago.
New cluster overlay, needles, cluster surround, leds, window regulators and motors for both sides, couple relays, interior paint and clear, and a 99-02 fog light switch.
Changing up the cluster. Gonna go with the escalade surround, clear/white needles, and escalade overlay. Gonna change all my leds to red. The white is way too bright at night even turned all the way down, plus I like the red interior lighting in the subie.
Got the interior paint for my 99-02 panels, just gonna be black, nothing fancy.
Talked to scottyboy and he suggested a relay for the power conversion instead of going directly off the ignition switch, just for safety.
Gonna use the fog light switch to wire in my aftermarket harness and make it look factory.
Also gonna probably redo my turn signal wiring and solder everything. It's all done with those plastic wire taps.
Really concentrating on cleaning everything up and making it worthy of the money I've put into it.
Pic for shits n gigs
You know that even wt1 the bcm comes programmed for fog lights. Just buy 03-06 fog switch. Fog light relay for fuse box and add the pin for the fuse box. Then you have oem fog lights.

Yeah I was looking at it today and realized that everything goes through the bcm. There's no power to the switch itself, so I can't just wire in power and ground like all the other stuff I'm doing. Good to know they're all programmed for it, I'll put that on my list!
If you don't want to add the pin to the fuse box you can find a bumper harness off eBay for pretty cheap

Thanks for the info, I'll keep that in mind.
Swapped my cluster stuff around and redid the leds in there, hvac, and headlight switch.. Changed them to red and I love it so much more than white.

Yeah, it's minor enough to where I can live with it. But I also read about that beforehand and knew it when I ordered.
Sounds good to me. I'm sure we can work out a price that makes sense.
I'm actually 20 mins north of you now, moved to Clinton about a year and a half ago.
Considering I just bought that wagon... no. Haha my Dad wants the gold Bimmer so I'm selling his (my old) Miata, and then I have to do a head gasket on the 4Runner, and then the motor can start happening agian.
you are closer to where chris is staying when he comes down here then. he is going to be close to Hillsborough.
I gotta de mold and clean some exterior shit up to. You know a guy for that too? :cheeky:

Thanks man
So I've had this suede shit sitting around for about 4 years now. Figured I'd get it over with, one less thing to dick with over the winter.
Pulling the headliner is easy. 4 T15 torx screws hold each visor in, the clothes hooks just split and pull out, and a small screwdriver gets the grab handle out. Unplug the dome light. Pull your a pillars off and pull the top part of the b pillars out. Then just lower the headliner down and detach the wiring that they glued to it for the dome light, rear brake light, and by the mirror. Then just fanagle it out the passenger side. Overall, about a 10 minute process.
Actually sueding the headliner took just under an hour. Helps if you have two people, one to hold the fabric kind of tight and straight while the other presses and smooths it out. Tuck your edges and corners. Cut your slits for whatever holes you need. I just put the dome light back in for now. Probably just gonna stick with that. I still need to paint the plastic on it so it blends. Then throw that shit back in the way it came out and you're done.
Operation: get all the parts I have just sitting around installed and clean shit up is underway
