Dude purple looks slick mixed in.

 

looking forward to the rest of this build. looks good so far.

 

I was thinking ford ranger flareside but yea, s10 step side too either way, may be worth checking into. Im all about the green paint scheme, ****z sick man, that will look amazing. Keep the pics coming.

 

Ya man I like the purple an the red one but it's your truck man

 

if you can airbrush those graphics on to your truck its gonna look amazing no matter what color choice you go with. im definitely looking forward to this build thread

 

I have been long overdue on an update! Money issues have slowed me down a bit but I got a few bucks saved up and did a couple cheap things to help settle me for now.

First, I turned on my heater the other day and my blower motor was making a horrible sound and a bunch of crap flew out of my vents. This was the first time I had them on since getting the truck out of the field it was parked in for +6 years. I pulled off the motor and this is what poured out.


After I got that all cleaned out and blew the air hose through the plumbing I decided I would finally install my 6x9's that had been sitting in the shed for a few months. No pic of that yet. I'll get some tomorrow.

I also had some LED's laying around so I pulled off my dome light and wired up 3 led's. I know there are bulb replacements you can get for the stock setup but I was bored and wanted to make my own and not spend more money than I had to.

** AFTER **




If anyone wants me to do a writeup on how I did this just let me know and I'll get one up. I have pictures of every step.

 

Dang thats bright. Drop a 4runner rear view mirror on and then you can put two of those on.

 

Do a write up. I'd like to do tht. Looks alot brighter than stock

 

like it

 

Looks good!

 

Purple looks great dude. And the dually thing from your gramps is very admirable. Good luck on the project. And I'm sure some of the noobs would love a writeup on the led swapout. Just my .02

 

i'll take ur offer on tht write-up! thts something i would like to do to my 86. awesome work too! tht dually if fak'n badass!!!

 

Alright, I'll get one written up in the next day or two. My way is the hard way to do this LED mod, but I like to make things myself, rather than just buying things and plugging them in. Makes me feel more like -I'm- working on my truck, rather than someone else and I'm just installing it.

 

Alright, yesterday I swapped out the lights in my cluster to LED's so now my whole interior is set up on LED's, looks a lot more modern in there. I'll get a picture in a day or two.

I also did my write-up on how to make your own LED dome light, below is the link to where I posted it.

sweet truck; i hope none of that crap from the vents got blown into your face ..

 

whats up with the HID retro??

 

Lol, They are nearly done! All I have to do is mount them onto the housing, and put the lens on. I need to relocate my batt. also which is probably why I haven't finished them yet.

 

lol sorta wat i did but i wired 2 led strips on mine an just painted the old houseing for the domelight :3 lol

 

It's been a while since I posted any form of an actual update on things I'd been doing on my truck. I put in some 6x9's behind the seat. Nothing fancy there. Pulled out my gauges and changed them over to LED's also changed over my climate control light to LED. I didn't have the green on the back of my cluster like many talk about needing to remove so mine was -really- easy just swapped out the bulbs for the LED replacements.






I'm currently talking to a guy with a 94 4runner that I'm trying to get the seats bumper and valance off of. If that pans out I will be getting those put on in the next couple days. I still need to finish my retro HID's. Need to relocate my batt for it though. Anyone got a good place to tuck it away at? Post up some pics and I would appreciate it!

Thanks!

 

I have no clue why ive never seen your truck before but its sick man. you should try and score the fenders off that 4runner. so your truck is 6 lug? how do you get the parts for that ? looks good though.
