Can I see the finished kick panels? Your engine bay looks very similar to mine without the wheel wells.

 

my kick panels arent glassed or anything. just simple. cut some 3/4mdf wood made speaker rings and wrapped um up in vinyl.and bolted them(long skinny bolts) into the kick panel. lol. saves me from ruining my stock door look. ill post pics soon bro!

 

got me another battery!!! XS power. extra power for the audio n future mods later.

 

Work on your damn bagged one already haha I wanna see tht thing done. I like the kick panel

 

LOL. i am slowly you just dont know. haha. swap is almost done just need driveshaft, shifter linkages!. to drive it i need my brakemaster setup first. then we rollin

 

that was some good reading Can the seat be moved all the way back? or would it hit the box?

 

Ya cause you never post pics haha

 

No box is too big. I'm 5'6 I fit just right. I kept it as far back as possible. But the aero port killed me with box width at the bottom

 

why good the placement with the speaker in the kick panel?

 

Watchu mean?. Well I placed it there cuz it saves my door panels from being cut. It also allows the sound more space between the speaker and your ear. So it'll smooth out a little more so its less harsh on your ears.

 

ohh i see, and u placed the tweeters on the pillars?

 

yup towards the glass. spreads everything out. sounds alot nicer now and cleaner. not to crispy. i hate crispy. loud and warm is the music i like. my mid bass isnt at full potential im running my small zapco i force amp to it. waiting for my tru technologies amp in a chritmas gift. haha

 

Finally changed my leaky valve cover gasket. Got to re make my engine cross member. Everything is shsved down and dangerous. Thinking of raising the truck back up couple inches but just doesnt seem right.

 

well i guess im forced to make a new engine crossmember and raise the truck up.

oil all over the place from my valve cover gasket and oil pan.

 

Looks like its time to weld up some new bracing I'd get some square 1by1 steel tubbing and beef it up mine is starting to look like that as well

 

Yous are all bloody nuts!
That's the bit that keeps your wheels on.

Do you not drive these trucks?

 

Chill, I have seen it happen to a few Toyotas. I have snapped mine in half hitting a piece of precast concrete on the highway. Also you need to take into account everything will eventually break, it might take a while but it will

 

yeh kinda sucks. just welded some 3/16 flat plate on the bottom of the brace itself i reused the old one just welded the crap out of it. wen the time comes again ill be better prepared with some 1x1 box tubing.

 

it just braces the lower control arms from flex. i limped it home with it broken and got her fixed immediately. but this truck i drive everyday everywhere.
