1st/2nd gen Interiors and Interior Mods Lets see them!

[soj1057]

If this has already been a post, Ill delete it. I am always interested in the interiors of peoples 4runners, plain or not. Homemade fixes and mods are always fun to see, especially some of the craftsmanship!
Any way, post it if you got it?

Who needs interior?

First off I did some patch work on mine cause of rust

Then sprayed POR-15's truck bed liner down

Then put my carpet back in on top of it. I got a Cargo Caddy drawer in the back (old photo)

Found some SR5 seats and had them reupholstered. Also have a cheap Wal-Mart center console in there, but I'm gonna go back and design my own since I now have a welder.

Going to go back, redesign and relocate my switch panel too.

Where can I get my hands on that caddy drawer you have in the back. Thats pretty sweet.

Hey how does that bedliner spray work to reduce the road noise from the rear...if at all? My rear carpet is out too...the noise is pretty significant.

Great work by the way, looks awesome in there.

I've spent a lot of time and $$ to keep the interior looking good and stock including the factory tape deck in my '87.

I almost have the wheeler interior back together, but it too will remain stock aside from a CD player and aftermarket seats. The only kinda mod I did was to fashion a pancake style holster for my 1911 .45 onto the drivers side of the dash by the stereo. The only thing I don't like about the stock interior is the lack of cup holders.

Has anyone replaced the gauges on an SR5 dash with mechanical ones, oil pressure, water temp, volts, oil temp...ect. I'd like to see pics of one done with a clean install.

I can you post a pick of your 1911 holster in the truck? I too carry a 1911 in my truck, but for now it just rests in the door pocket. I have always thought about attaching a holster on the right side.

I dont have any fancy mods yet. Its all original though!

It was the cheapest drawer I could find. I like it, but if ever my window decides not to roll down, I can't get to my tools to fix it. So, in the future I might fabricate my own out of metal since I got the welder.

Thanks, it was a headache cutting out the rust and welding in patches since I couldn't find anyone who makes floor pans for these.

The bedliner didn't really reduce any noise. I mostly used it to seal the surface rust up. I was originally going to use Lizard skin spray on sound deadening, but it was more expensive than the truck bed liner as far as coverage in sq. ft.

Scion TC seats, a homemade center console, and a elevated floor in the rear for storage. The rear is not done yet.

that is a slick console I might have to do some hinges similar I am trying to cram a cobra 29 in the dash and it keeps Gering in the way of 1st gear

 

[santanvalleydirt]

I've got nothing but stock inside. It's in decent shape so I don't want to rip anything out. I would like to reupholster the front seat though, anyone know a good place to get that done?

That interior work looks awesome. What else is done back there?

 

[Dropzone]

upgrade rear cargo area lights, with switch in the back



rear aux power ports with USB and an interior switch to roll down the rear window
Rear Aux outlet for a future 12v fridge and dual USB for my rear camera

On my 86' 4runner (after doing a 302 V8 swap) I wanted to keep better tabs on the water temp, and oil pressure so I upgraded the gauges. After spending all my $$$ on gauges I didn't have enough funds to buy an A-pillar pod, so I mounted them on the dash where the inclinometer would normally go. I bought a $10 universal pod and made a base plate that fit the contour of the dash to mount it to.







Also on my 86' I built a lockable center console with a drink holder , I plan to build something similar for my 87', but with 2 drink holders.







On my 87' I'm currently in the middle of retrofitting a dodge durango rear seat into the back. I have the passenger side done, just need to finish the driverside and figure out the center section with the fold down armrest/cupholders.

I've got alot of plans for mine including roof console to hold the cb and some switches, led lights in all interior lights, extera outlets in front and back seats, switch for tailgate in cargo area, locking toolbox in each side of the cargo area and moving all he window and lock switches to the radio pocket

Bump!

Bringing this thread back. I'm going to be making some interior cargo area side panels with doors. Looking for some pics for inspiration, what have you guys done? I'm also going to build a new lockable center console/armrest with cupholders. It will be a little different than the one I built in the above post. Already have some cupholder inserts ordered. They are universal stainless steel inserts, also got some black plastic ones, not sure which I will use yet. Wouldn't mind seeing some pics of what others have done for their center consoles let's see some pics!




Here's a couple pics of where I am so far with the side panels, I still need to cut out for the doors. I ordered a 5/16 Crater Maker dimple die to make some cool raised holes for the mounting holes, also plan to run some sort of bead pattern on the panels, I just bought a beadroller from Woodward Fab, can't wait to use it!

 

[Dropzone]

did this awhile ago
The red light on the driver's side door light died a little while ago. It was weird that the housing still had power but no bulb would work (even when swapped from passenger side)
Dug into the box of crap that had been for the Trekker and found some stuff.
added a rock light to use as a courtesy light and replaced door light with a KC LED cyclone light

Passenger Side

Driver's side door open:


Old dome light switch gave up the ghost, tried soldering it but that lasted about a week. Dug into the parts stash and decided to make a small upgrade in brightNess


Night shot of the new dome light


with the rear cargo lights *and courtesy lights​

Pulled the center console today and it ran into some cut off wheels



and ended up with this Hybrid Toyota console with a locking console from a Samurai*

Looking at it i could have used more of the original console for more of a fascia covering.
​​​​​​​maybe on version 2.0*
