InfamousRNR's 2002 Limited BU!LD THREAD

[nor_cal51501]

No problem bud, it turned out pretty damn sweet. Those ARB instructions sucked soo bad. Whomever wrote out the instructions needs to be fired or punched in the face for doing a shit job, otherwise it was a good day.

Duuuuuude!!! That time lapse vid was legit!!
1. Awesome that you kept the part where I kick over the camera, then have the lense right in my face going "oops" lol
2. That was hilarious seeing the process and thinking back, "**** the instruction person".
3. Anyone installing an ARB bumper is better served figuring that shot out themselves and burning the instructions. They are completely useless, confusing and illegible to anyone with a brain. The author of the instructions would do well to shoot themselves in the face.
That's all for now, glad you like it. Makes your rig look beast mode for sure!!

Tinted Front Side Windows

bought an extra set of driver and passenger glass from a junk yard as the previous owner of the vehicle scratched the windows badly with something abrasive. made a time lapse video of the process of removing and installing a glass window to the drivers side. i tinted the glass before installation.

basic tools needed:

10mm socket
phillips screw driver


TIP TO REMOVING GLASS/REPLACING GLASS:

put the window at an angle, dipping the glass forward in the door, and lifting it out at a 90 degree angle upwards.

Tinted front windows

20% all around now. i believe the factory privacy glass is 20%. . . .

 

[nor_cal51501]

I still think your windows look way darker than my factory tint. We should probably just trade windows for a while to make sure.... Yes? :bravo:

Installed antenna adapters and bluetooth mic

so while i was installing my pioneer avh-x4600bt i forgot to connect my bluetooth microphone for hands free dialing, so while waiting for work i ripped apart my dash in the parking lot and connected my BT wire and my antenna adapters.

i picked up an adapter from amazon.com for an adapter that ties our 2 antenna's into 1 single connection so it can go directly into the back of the pioneer stereo head unit.

(1) adapter from the rear one which is smaller... and (1) adapter to tie the two antenna connections into one...

for those of you wanting to keep your factory harness intact and away from splicing......pick up the wire adapter harness designed to plug in directly into toyota stereo's from 1987 - current year to prevent you from cutting up your nice OEM harness


AMAZON gives you nice option to buy all 3 at once...however here they are separately


Metra 70-1761 Radio Wiring Harness For Toyota 87-Up Power 4 Speaker

Metra 40-UV43 Male to Female Motorola Antenna Cable

Scosche Mda-B Micro/Delco Antenna Adapter Tip


>>>...

picture shows mounting/clipping location of my microphone for the handsfree bluetooth. reception and quality of sound are perfect and mic is not blocked...
didn't want a permanent mounting location... the mounting clip that it came with worked perfect to attach to where the steering wheel comes out of.

Slow, but sure progress. Keep it going!! Diff breather mod soon!!

Rims and meets

Dude,,,, I've been slowly accumulating the 5 star rim with a 5th for a spare.. I'm in those rims $300 now, and I still have to make them look pretty either with paint or powder coat or line x rims...

I DO have the split 3 spoke and the limited 5 spoke flower style I can sell...

There are so many mods I guess it depends on where your trying to go with your rig,,,


I REALLY WANT TO GET ANOTHER MEET SUPER SOON!!!! Let's get another meet together guys!!

 

[Loud Runner]

Let's figure out a date that works for people. I'm down for a trip to Hollister as well. I've never been, would love to check it out this summer.

basket ROLA roof rack fabrication - low profile mounts

whoa. finally an update....

so i recently bought a ROLA vortex roof rack... $178 or something... then purchased a cut extension ($40) to extend the rack just a tad... to be exact 2 of the cross bar things.. so this added an approximate 10".... rack stops exactly where my sun roof opens..


i then found someone on craigslist to help with some welding... these racks (in my opinion) for the money are a good buy considering the look which i like very much...

we welded together all the pieces... used a grinder to smooth out the welds and then cut the existing mounts in 1/2 to use as tabs for mounting purposes...

because there were 4 mounts in total... cutting these in 1/2 yielded 8 mounts in total... 4 for each side. i thought this would provide the best support..... but because of the curvature of the roof... it was all wonky and lopsided and was a complete mess... so i just have 2 on each side.. 4 in total... still want to add the others.. or at least 2 to have a total of 6.. 3 on each side but for now its a work in progress.. looking to put a tire up there so i can kill my gas mileage a little bit.. i think it looks cool and i can't wait to put it up there and get a flat and have to take it off but i like to struggle... anyways, here are some pictures.... does anyone have an idea to compensate for the roof curvature?,,,,,,,,,,,

 

[Konkordmusk]

Should have asked me, I would have helped with the welding! And wouldn't have gotten as much splatter
I'll be doing a rack much like yours very soon, if you haven't come up with a solution by then, I'll let you know what I figure out!

 

[infamousRNR]

Is it too late?!?!???!?

Is it too late to ask for help??? It's still a work in progress and Im not done yet....
I would like to compensate you for your time

Do you remember if there is a way to tighten the glass to where it sits in the track? When I have my window down and close the door it rattles like crazy. Same with big bumps.
