I want to get the body work VERY close to completion .... so I want to keep the cab on for a bit yet


.

 

This is just a thing of beauty! Those are the perfect wheels, the perfect height, hell! this thing is old toyota perfection! Hurry up and get done! lol

 

hey , what happened to the 2 10s in the floor idea?

 

thanks ....

spare tire is the issue ... as it is , I'm only going to be using a 31" as a spare .. I figured no lockers, so in a pinch , a 31 will get me out of trouble if needed . it was either the spare undernieth and subs in the floor , or tire undernieth and subs above the floor ... this way also , I will be able to mount the amps on the sub box , instead of on the canopy wall . (better I think)

and dont even suggest hanging the spare off the back , or on the roof


.

 

Put it on the hood!

 

april 1st

ohh man .. I never thought of that ...
that would be so cool .. i love that idea !!


spare is going on the hood ! nice I cant wait

why you usin a 31 for a spare? you can really tear stuff up runnin a different size tire than the rest on a 4wd.

 

it's the largest size that will fit undernieth it's either that or nothing . As I mentioned , the diffs are open , and in a pinch .. it will get me out of a bind if need be . I certinally wont be able to drive at hiway speeds , but I will certinally be able to limp it in . tires and wheels are brand new , as you can see , so I expect i'll never use the spare anyways , but , ya never know . I do plan on driving the Trekker to different shows , so I just will feel better with a little "insurance"


.

 

got the front valance mounted ... now I can do the final body work on it ...



also got a bunch more new pieces .. outer door handles and locks .. I will be sending the locks out to be all re keyed to the ignition .. so I will have 1 key.



also continueing on with the harness ..
looking good , although you probabally cant tell by the pic ..
getting close to being finished ...




.

 

so finally got the rear tub mounted ..
I used bolts for now (mock up) .. and I will be replacing them with elevator bolts for the final product . just like these



heres the floor



and the side wall




i'm also mostly done the body work , so now its time for the cab to come off


.

 

more work on the harness today ...

Finished up the main dash harness ... and ready now for install



here's the rest of the pin-outs and scrap I further stripped



and now 1/2 done the engine harness ...

progress looks great
