DIY Dash Overhaul: LEDs, Radio, & Trim Upgrade

Today we are upgrading our 3rd gen Toyota 4runner dash, I’m looking for something OEM+. I am changing my burned out gauge cluster bulbs for some red leds. Then I will replace my broken oak limited bezel trim with a new black unit and while I’m in there; I will replace the bulbs in the control module and Climate control unit. I'll also replace the old radio with a new JVC head unit and showing how to wire it up. Then there’s an upgrade of the power outlets on the bottom of the bezel.

Dude! What an awesome tutorial. Absolute quality!! Thank you. A tip I just taught myself while doing this, thanks to you and others, on the notch cut of the T3 x 8mm neowedge LED. Another option to notch cutting the socket of the new LED, reuse the old one. The fit is premium. Untwist the legs of the old incandescent bulb and remove from OEM socket. Then untwist the legs of the SMD and remove it from its aftermarket shit socket. Feed them back into the OEM socket, twist the legs back to their original arraingment and Voila. Perfect fitting LED's. Side note one of the OEM sockets is longer than the other and it will need to be trimmed to fit the short legs of the SMD's.

Thank you for doing this, Loved it. I would also love if you keep sharing any future upgrade on your 4runner intrerior (mods, accesories, replacements, etc)

Did you buy a new bracket for the new stereo or were you able to use the factory radios bracket?

[@stusch1027]

I used whatever brackets were on the old radio. I'm not positive they were factory, but they look pretty close according to the pictures I can find. There were enough holes that I was able to get all the screws in and make it secure.

awesome...how much do you charge?...lol

[@stusch1027]

I haven't ever thought about it before. But if you're in the OK area we could work something out :)
