Project 88 restore - Page 6 - Toyota

Puddy dad I can't believe you didn't paint the access door to match the rest of the rear plastic! I tried to use the factory 5 inch but seem slike they need something extra as they don't work with just -+ wires going to them...Guess 6x9 are in my future as well.

Did the 4 inch speakers bolt right in on the dash?

I ran out of paint and I just found out the color is no longer being made

My photo skills are not very good so most pics are over exposed. That is why the doors look out of place. In the true light, the color I used is pretty much a perfect match to the interior. The darker gray accent trim of the topper molding and door look good together in person.
I may have some paint mixed to do the doors

Your local paint shop should be able to match the color...mine did and it was perfect!

I installed the tilt gauge yesterday using an unorthodox method….Industrial Velcro LOL
I just did not feel good about removing a 21 year old dash pad that was already in fragile condition.
I used a high speed die grinder to cut the welds on the mounting studs then, removed them. I placed the mounting bracket on the dash then marked off the place I thought it should be then, drilled a hole for the wire.
The setup looks good and seems to be securely mounted. I may move it back about an 1/8 inch, I think that would make it perfect…..

Simply awesome!

s2kpuddydad · 11-27-2009, 08:10 PM

Thanks

I did move it back a little and it sits as it should now. I will take another pic of the finished install tomorrow.

I posted this thread in the audio and electronics section of the forum. I thought I post a link here so, if any of you guys that have been following this thread would like to check it out, you can. By the way the tilt gauge came out great, lights up and functions fine

Navi for my First Gen

Dude you have some serious skills, I wish I had the time, money, room and knowledge to do things like that. I just cleaned the ashtray, replaced the rotor and cap and threw in an air freshener in my 95 SR5 and I feel like I pushed the limits of my restoration abilities

I am not sure if the cat is gutted I never checked.

I went to the junk yard and salvaged two 2nd Gen plastic stow compartments. My 88 did not have any and I do not think the 4Runner came with them until the 1990s. I wanted a clean dry place to stow away the factory tool kit and other small items this is why I retro fitted the 2nd Gen plastic compartments.

lol i ment the cat in the picture here kitty kitty that kind and thanks for the info on the boxes i want to find some now handy

s2kpuddydad · 01-08-2010, 12:20 AM

Iroke17 · 01-10-2010, 08:54 PM

Pretty much finished with the DVD/Navi install....I want to get another factory radio bezel because, this one was butchered up before I started. I maybe able to repair the trim area but, if not I will just find a cherry replacement.
The unit fits like OEM in the dash and plays great. The DVD will play even when in motion by holding down the power antenna switch for a few seconds, this disables the blackout of the DVD.

if you ground the pink wire that disables the safty feture and you wont have to mess with antenna
