    glad you got it working,
    I just added an oil catch can to mine...
    figured I'd replace the PCV valve while I was there...
    my PCV was clogged and would not rattle when shaken...

    noticeable better acceleration and throttle response for me...
    easy to overlook the PCV

    "Locked" in the Diff. Seems to function properly, never used it.

    I had to roll it back and forth a bit, in 4Low, then it got much easier.

    I guess I could do a shallow water entry boat launch on the beach? Just back that baby into the surf and go?

    I put my new timing belt tensioner on, loosely, and wrapped my new belt around the cam pulleys. Decided to wait until daylight to proceed.

    And i tried in vain to flip my rear passenger seat up.

    My right fog light bulb was burned out, so went and bought two news ones for $54...

    thought I knew how to replace bulb easily, pulled wrong screw...cross threaded it getting it back in

    figured out, ONE screw to take out to twist fog light out...

    rounded ONE of the screw heads off the fog light bulb access...

    went to ACE and bought six M3x20 .80 pitch screws and an M5 tap to clean out threads I messed up

    after I figured out how to do it by getting right side wrong...the driver's side took about 10 mins to replace


    tl;dr replace both fog light bulbs in my 2000 SR5 and fixed switch for rear floods/reverse lights
