GottabeTRD's Build Thread

haha thanks man, are you gonna do some color change? ill get a wirte up togther when i finish up, its not as smooth as the OEM cloth but it for sure got rid of the crustiness the dye made. it almost feels like a new stiffer material now. the silk worked good but i found some old polyester basketball shorts that seemed to work a lot better.

Hey I may just do it since I also have a black truck, depending on how yours turn out which I know for sure will be awesome, this will be on my list of future interior modifications..yeah I'd appreciate a write up man, thanks.

Oh I see. You only want light when the doors are open. That's a cool idea!

Best solution I have for that is to tap into the dome light and run the wire down the A-piller. Unless you can find the wire on the door itself that goes to the dome light. And IIRC, you can run lights like those in series. But don't quote me on that. I would just stick with a parallel circuit.

so i just took a bunch or more stuff apart... my truck is a mess lol! the connected to the button looks impossible to tap into so i think im gonna do the dome like like you said. So doing a parallel circuit, what would that incude? can i say make the 2 taps on the power wire for the dome lights?

Yeah just take one wire and tap into the dome light power. Then, once that new wire has run down the A-piller, tap into that new wire with another wire. Run each of these wires to a footwell and to the lights. Then either ground each separately or splice the two ground wires into one ground wire and ground just the one wire.

that sounds easy enough, thanks man! im not sure ill tackle this or not. i dont think i have all the supplies yet. it should be good though!

[GottaBeTRD]

Your 4runner too clean. You to get some scratches on it.

 

[GottaBeTRD]

lol! yeah i think i want a lift and some armor first then ill get some scratches i do get those occasional door dings from little children and homos in the parking lot. my best war wound i have now is this dent that i didn't even get the privledges of doing myself. the owner before me did it

 

[xskydivingdudex]

Looks good dude and ya lift and body armor would make it look awesome! THe dent doesnt look too too bad though u could jsut get a replacement piece for like $40 and itll come in black

 

[GottaBeTRD]

what really? oh man do you know where i can get this?

 

[xskydivingdudex]

Ya i got my replacement piece on ebay... let me find the link

EDIT: sry guess i was wrong on the price its not $40, its almost $50 with free shipping and it looks great though not sure if itll match the paint since its a black primer paint i think.
