Well, ok...I had the A/C professionally retrofitted but big whoop, everything else was all done by me!

I'm the second and last owner of this truck, so no more offers please!!
This is my first vehicle and I had no idea at the time I had bought one of the toughest trucks out there. As most of you know yotas are pretty much bulletproof little trucks. It has the 3.0 V6, auto transmission (not as fun at times), the power windows/door locks/mirrors, a removable moonroof, air conditioning that I retrofitted to 134a, sliding rear window, ECT (electronically controlled transmission), auto hubs with shift-on-the-fly, and the much nicer interior put in the SR5s such as this one. I am the proud second owner of this truck, with the first being an old man who was a cop from Roseburg, OR and she was bone stock when I got her...oh wait the cigarette lighter wasn't stock lol. I have done a lot of stuff to it since I bought it in October 2004, and it's currently sitting 10" taller than stock (including the additional radius of the bigger tires). This is what I installed all by myself:
-Remote starter, keyless entry, alarm (turbo timer option...just waitin for that Supra powerplant!)
-Remote window roll-up module for use with transmitter
-Shock, proximity, tilt sensors with starter kill relay
-When zone 1 (warning chirp) of the alarm is tripped, the windows roll up...tryin to catch someone by the arm lol
-GPS tracking...if for some reason they get past my alarm
-8000K HID headlight conversion with power supply, ps controller, ballasts, and capsules
-Projector headlight housings
-Clear turns and corners
-Front turn signals converted to hold dual element bulbs (now they're turns and running lights)
-Genuine TYC taillights that I blacked out...order black and get fake carbon fiber? WTF? Good ol' ebay I guess
-LED 3rd brake light in canopy's back window
-Fabricated a crossmember to fit in stock location on IFS framework for added support and to serve as a fog light bar
-Stull billet grille
-Bed rail and tailgate caps for $free.99
-2 x 100w backup lights
-2 x 55w fog lights (the HIDs are plenty of light but the canopy rack will get 5 or 6 130W KCs when I get around to building it)
-Custom intake I fabbed up
-Custom exhaust with Dynomax muffler (make your "model" exhaust with 1/4" steel rod and match it with pipe...some welding required lol)
-MSD Superconductor 9mm mag-core plug wires
-MSD 48,000 volt ignition coil
-Mallory Hyfire digital processor controlled ignition module with rev limiter and set rpm activated switch (perfect for nitrous or whatever else you could think of)
-NGK Iridium plugs
-MAF manually adjusted to compensate for intake/exhaust based on A/F gauge readings
-IAT and ECT 500ohm potentiometer mods (variable resistors to change the ECU's base fuel map and timing curve)
-Wired transmission to shift with a 6 post switch with positions 5 and 6 being normal automatic mode
-Push button switch to lock/unlock the torque converter in any gear
-Dual pillar gauge pod with Air/Fuel Ratio and Manifold Pressure (wideband o2 and EMS to run on the truck's internal pc)
-Extended the differential breathers
-Monotube Extreme shocks ($450 was definitely worth it)
-8" Customized IFS lift with increased travel in the IFS
-Black Allied Racing Daytona D-window wheels
-35/12.50/15 SXT M/Ts
-Electronic trailer brake controller module (the hitch will get mounted behind the license plate to retain ground clearance and it'll be hidden)
-Chrome fire extinguisher in the cab
-Retrofitted A/C to R134a
-Matching Stockland canopy
-Window tint in the canopy
Replaced the puny yoter horn with '05 Dodge Ram horns
-Four button paper thin computerized electronic switch for dash underglow, amp power, backup lights, and radar detector
-120v AC onboard supplied by hardwired inverter (powers onboard computer or anything else you might need)
-Complete onboard computer system from a spare laptop (yes it is capable of park and surf internet usage!)
-12 volt outlet under passenger bedrail near tailgate
-Garmin GPS Navigation
-$300 Cobra radar detector
-DVD player
-2 Infinity 4" speakers/tweeters
-2 Infinity 5 1/4" speakers
-2 Infinity 6 1/2" speakers
-2 Infinity 12" 4 ohm DVC subwoofers in slot-ported box I made bridged to run @ 1 ohm
-1000W Pioneer monoblock amp 1 ohm stable
-Sony head unit 200W
-Custom red interior lighting
-I converted the lower half of the center console into a cooler with a drain hose that spits out near the right rear tire
I've seen way too many people copy some of my blatantly unique setups in the cab so I guess that's the end of the interior pics. If you want to see what she looks like inside...read the mods list and use your imagination!
SOON TO HAVE:
-7MGTE Twin Turbo Supra motor
-5 speed Toy PU tranny
-Solid axle swap
-Piggyback Engine Management System to integrate with onboard PC to soon be running EMS software
-Nitrous...only a small dry shot probably
-Insulate under the bed for the new exhaust
-Dual exhaust with dual tips on each side exiting through the roll pan
-Electric fans integrated with the alarm's turbo timer
-Dual battery conversion
-Safari Rack with (5 or 6) 6" 130W KCs, hijack, shovel, axe, full size spare x2, bigger fire extinguisher
-HID conversion kits for KCs and fog lights
-Additional A/C compressor for use as engine driven air supply
-4 link suspension front and rear to allow air ride
-Air ride with 10" of ride height adjustment
-Lower gear ratio (haven't decided which gears)
-Windshield wipers/squirters to keep the rear canopy window clean
-Custom made bumper with winch (in progress)
-Paint (same red)
This truck has over 200k miles and is still wide awake! When she gets tired I'll just have to reluctantly build a 700hp Supra motor for the swap. It has been my extremely reliable daily driver since October 2004.
Enjoy the pics, they go from newest to oldest. I will keep them updated and more are on the way!


Fried the ECU, oops...towed it to my dad's shop until the replacement came

I have designed and built more boxes than I can count...this one is my latest (nowhere done in this pic).

Nice yota man 5 stars :)I was reading your description and saq 8" suspension lift i was like wtf lol and started looking through your pics to see what was up and finally realized you added the front an rear together.also how sluggish is it with stock gears and 35s?Im assuming you have 4.10 gears.
great truck none the less.
