    i thought i might have to do that but i havent tried it, thanks.

    i think the stacks would look better if someone actually put some thought and effort into making them, they look like someone ran up to autozone and bought them and threw them on

    greeting fellow toyota enthusiasts, i figured i'd give you guys a quick update on my plans. the trucks been an extremely slow project at the time seeing as ive needed to spend the money on more important things. the other day i wrecked my daily driver because i decided to act like a fool. sooooooo now i have no vehicle except the truck so im going to have to whip it into shape for daily transportation again. this should mean more updates in the upcoming weeks (hopefully). and finally, pictures of my lovely totaled miata.

    what up fellas, i figured id show you all what ive been doing for the last month or so.
    first of all i painted my dash gloss black and my dash pad flat black.... i really got sick of staring at the diarrhea brown color it used to be.

    then i cut out the middle piece to make room for my 8 track player, i also shaved the 2 holes from where the dials where from the am radio
    [​IMG]
    then i cleaned up my cluster since it was so scratched you couldnt see through it also put LEDs in it so it actually lights up at night
    [​IMG]
    i got a Broadway mirror
    [​IMG]
    then i got an NRG short hub and quick release so i can use my Nardi wheel which ive had for ever
    [​IMG]
    i also picked up a lock for it
    [​IMG]
    and heres how everything looks together :)

    ok fellas, really need some help here. does anyone know where the tail light relay is inside the cab of the truck? it appears that when the previous owner wired in the trailer tail lights he changed the relay to make them work, now that im trying to wire in the factory tail lights its causing a whole lot of chaos. i believe if i can find the relay that they wired in and replace it with a factory one everything should work properly
