What did you do with your classic T4R today?

[Reluctanse]

-HID install with projector headlights with turn signals built into the housing

AWESOME! Any details on your projector install?

those are the projectors I went with, its just simply take out the old housings, unplug the harness from the old housings, plug into the new housings, and reverse the rest of the process. If you want to wire the turn signals then you need to get 2 LED resistors and splice them into the factory signal harness. Just make sure the resistors are mounted well and away from plastic because they get really hot.

Do you have any pics of these on your truck? I was thinking of getting a set but doing a REAL projector retrofit. Those "projectors" inside are garbage. I have done a couple sets before using E46 projectors and Mini H1. Its night and day difference. I just want them for the LEDs that are inside but not sure what they would look like on the truck. I was actually trying to make something like these years ago before they even came out (see pics below) You shouldn't need any resistors on those LED markers they are already setup for 12v. You would just need to tap into the turn signal wire like you mentioned.



another idea i was playing with


and the output of my real projector retrofit

I'll get some pics tomorrow when I go back to my shop to drop of the tires I had flipped/balanced. I already had resistors pre-wired from my previous led turn signals. They aren't too bad though for the price. Only did it since my led light bar took a dumb and don't feel like buying another. Have enough money into my truck for only having it 7 months.

You might want to take out the original resistors. You will have too much resistance and it will dim your LEDs.

Yeah I'll sleep on pulling the resistor's. They work great right now, can still see them from out in front of the truck with the lights on. And here is the picture of how they look on, its about 20-25 feet to that wall.

THanks, but i wanted to see it from the front with just the LEDs on. Sorry

FWAK... do you need to use resistors, or can you use a different turn signal relay for LED bulbs? I've found it works when I've replaced my regular bulbs with LED in the past. And, one of the guys I know used 3 or 4 LED lights for turn signals to replace the stock lights with his bumper upgrade, and that's how he got it to work. Saves some wiring...

you don't need resistors, but your flash will be fast like you had a bulb out because of the low current draw from the LEDs. Get a LED flasher relay to fix the hyper flash. They are around $15. If you install additional resistors it will increase your load to make the LED look like a incandescent bulb and will also fix hyper flash, but you will loose one of the benefits of LEDs in the low current draw. It will also create more heat on those resistors so make sure you get a higher wattage resistor, plus you gotta splice em in somewhere. Just go with the relay

I performed Rad4runner's starter relay direct 12v constant mod. Truck has never cranked so quickly and smoothly, at least not in a long time. Cost me like 10 dollars for the wire and inline fuse. Good stuff.

Plan to rebuild transmission and take it to Baja

 

[junkyardbiker]

I drove it for the first time in a long time!

well ajordan1975 your drive sure beats mine hahaha. Mines not been back off the pavement yet since its gotten runnin again.

Cool, another MV resident. I'll be on the lookout!

 

[missyroar]

I cranked over the engine for the first time and took her for a short cruise down the street <3

Still need to register/insure it, put cat/exhaust on, fix water pump leak that decided to show up, and a few other cosmetic things. She's a runner!

I tried to post but it's very difficult

Chopped my top and painted it Army green. Soon the whole truck will be that color. Also found a winter top that will be painted black.

hooked up the AC belt for the first time since buying it, works!
(desperately needs recharged unfortunately)

 

[fwak1234]

Fabbed up an electric parking brake. No more worrying about cables snapping (happening far too frequently). Will post pictures and information if anyone is interested.
