Hey so I just wanted to know if you had any pics of the way you ran the antena wire for your cb? And are you planning coming on the 8th? It may just be us.

Hey! Sorry I missed this...
The cable is tucked behind the Driver Side B pillar trim panel. I
had to scallop some of the plastic to fit the wire, but nothing major.
Then under the carpet behind the front seats, forward under the
Passenger door trim/kick panel and brought into the center console.

If your looking to install anything, let me know - I'd be glad to help!

I may be doing something this weekend to it. I need some wire and electrical connectors. I want to put a separate switch for my ADD do I can have 2lo before the 8th. I'll let you know when or if I do anything this weekend. Thanks

Welcome to the Anthracite Metallic Club! Hands down the best color, and hard to find as well. Digging the build so far man. Witch wheels are those on your co-workers runner I really like 'em. Are they oem wheels?

 

[GhostRing]

[MENTION=102285]541joseph[/MENTION] sounds good! (I went manual hubs on my '94 instead)

[MENTION=78524]Park[/MENTION] This is kinda the most bad-ass color Toyota has made, I still walk out to it
and think, "man, this thing means business!"

ETA: I believe the wheels are 4th gen 17" OEMs

 

[541joseph]

[MENTION=93300]GhostRing[/MENTION] ya I would do manual hubs but switch is cheaper and I'm lazy.

Your truck is great looking. What are your plans for mods coming up?

 

[GhostRing]

I need to make a front bumper. Soon.
Some better internal storage/drawers is also top of list.

 

[541joseph]

Let me know what you come up with for storage I have some ideas but I'd be interested in your ideas

 

[Park]

Have you thought about plasti dipping your emblems? Black complements our color really well imo. Also you've got to get rid of that chrome bumper; Mabey plasti dip it too?

So I survived my 1st year at T4R...!
A great community that I look forward to both learning from and contributing to much more.
I'm feeling good about the coming year - re-organized my priorities, got the shop back up and running, and am ready to start getting dirty...


Small collection of recent activity...

Thanks to everyone here who continually pushes the boundaries of creativity, destruction, and adventure. Keep it up!

Ghost,I like what you did with the rack.The lower profile is nice.Do you happen to have any pics of the hardware pieces that you used inside the roof track ?

 

[infamousRNR]

Those custom mounts for the rola roof rack though!!

Can we have some more info regarding those? Maybe some more pictures even?

Looks awesome

Hey! Sorry I missed this question earlier...

The nut-things in the track are the OEM versions re-used from the
main cross bars and the little eyelets that screw down the small crossbars.
Essentially what was already in the tracks.
I used some short 12mm (Subaru) bolts we had in the bins.

I then cut/drilled some .25"x1.25" angle to accept two fasteners each.
The width of the OEM tracks seemed to match up very well to allow
welding the angle direct to the Rola bars.

Really happy with the results! The only drawback is: using factory hardware
parts prevents me from easily selling the crossbars, but that's a pretty minor issue

 

[bsdoig]

Awesome idea on the roof rack! Looks MUCH better than mounting to the cross bars. I've been on the fence for awhile now on that rola rack. Think I might have to steal your idea :naughty:
