Ducmonsta's Build Thread-very pic heavy!

[Ducmonsta]

duc, is that wiring harness for all the extra lights and whatnot?

It's to go directly to all the switches. This way, I have one central location for any accessories that need to be wired up. I ran the whole harness into the cab and now anything that I need power to (and switched) will not need to go into the engine compartment.

I very much like this idea.

Thinking it'll make my wiring projects way easier when I finally get around to them.

Lights, CB, etc. .. .

Yeah..I'm not a big fan of bundled wires all going to the positive terminal of the battery. Even if you have a dual battery set up. Which, reminds me....

 

[ladywolf]

and off we go on another idea?

Maybe, but I've got to get some "go" parts on because it's been nothing but "show". Well, except for maybe the Rigid light bar.

I said I would get some better front pic shots, so here they are...
halos only


lights on


some side pics

You know, that doesn't look too horrible! I wonder if you can black out the turns a bit.

It's B a a a a a a a a d d d d d.

Gawd I love those wheels.

Looks so good!

On the turn signals, you might could go with a chrome bulb. That way it will look all white until you use it. Here is a thread about them in a 4th gen.

Or if you were wanting to tint them a little, i would go with Lamin-x. Their stuff is really nice.

Looks great! I'll be doing my own projector project too but not for a couple more weeks. I like how you blacked out the original reflectors. I was planning to do this too but going to see how it looks with the Carbon fiber 3m Di-noc. Might not make a big difference in looks but we'll see!

Absolutely awesome! Looks like Darth Vader's 4runner.

Thanks. Good luck with the dinoc in there. It's going to be a serious PITA. I would recommend practicing on something similar shaped to get your feet wet with dinoc. It's really amazing stuff, but when it comes to intricate details, it just might really suck.

I got to play with vinyl a little bit already over my hood, hood scoop, gas tank, and a few other things here and there. But you're right, I'll play around with it before hand. The vinyl was very forgiving and I'm hoping the dinoc will be a little more.

Are your halos always on?

No, it's switched. I figured I don't need them on all the time. I even considered wiring them up to parking lights but wanted the option to leave them on if the truck was off (for show use). The halos have a lot of features.

X2, very well done.

Looking good and the LED bar tucks in nicely under the rack.

I'll be calling you to order some lights and arrange for install once I have my new switches and panel built. However I'll have you do my re-gear, locker, and water pump/timing belt first.

I was thinking more like the "ThunderTank". For those of you that are old enough.

 

[momo.75]

That is awesome!
