Anybody know of a scrap yard with a late model Toyota Sienna center console, I'm looking to finish my armrest mod...

Got some new BEEFY STRAPS to secure my rig to the trailer.







Almost ready for SE4RJ3...

 

Wish I could say that...

Looking good.

 

I still have a major hurdle to clear, finding a full size spare on short notice. It could be near bald, but needs to be at least a 38.5
I am not going to spend $350 on a new 39.5 Bogger.

 

Da HUI!

 

yup yup.

You guys had some sick winter swell out there in SoCal.
I miss living on the left coast...

 

Expecting the UPS guy any day....
maybe some tube doors?
some sliders?
an STC top?
hmmmmmmmm...

 

Expecting to do a lot of wrenching in the next few days huh? I am in the same boat! the last minute parts should be here for mine tomorrow.

post pics up when you get them on!

 

Yeah, just bought this STC top on another forum, being shipped here now.












Gotta get this all put on before the jambo, Got a call from Marlin, don't think the tube doors are going to be done in time. Hopefully, Trail-Gear sliders will be here tomorrow & welded on this weekend.

 

Top looks nice. I used to run one when they were called Kayline. went through 2 of them. They were great tops. I am now running a can-back. Love the topless first gens!

 

Yep, I had a Kayline on my '89. I can't wait to get it on the truck!

 

I was expecting my order to show up tomorrow sometime, when who shows up but my favorite person, Mr. UPS driver with this...











Packaged very well, everything there, free stickers & arrived one day EARLY.
Thanks Chris! Thanks Trail Gear!

 

I hate RUST

 

They're gonna be painted after they're welded on...

 

Got something from my favorite UPS driver today...

MY NEW (used) STC top!









More pics to follow, I am beat from installing my sliders & need sleep... :cry:

 

Got the sliders mounted, just need to paint them now. Also got 3 of 4 temporary shocks mounted so I could ride Tellico this weekend. The top was missing some snaps, so I didn't get it installed yet. Maybe tomorrow if I can find the hardware I need.

BIG THANKS to Nathan & Derrick!!

Cutting off an old shock mount to relocate to the top.


Sliders:








Out of order, but the finished sliders...


Sliders tacked on, ready to weld.

 

Worked into the night getting the shocks mounted. Couldn't do one due to the bolt size. no biggie, will finish tomorrow.

The one that wouldn't mount up. Need a longer bolt. Yes, it goes through the frame (temporary only).



The rest were no problem considering they were thrown together in an hour.













Finished:









You can see the new sliders in this shot too.

 

Nice work!

Glad to see its coming together for you.
Cant wait to see that thing in person.

 

Thanks Will,

I look forward to meeting you & everybody else at SE4RJ3 too.

Well those pics were taken last night. I got up today & between making calls to find a wheel for a spare I got the STC top installed. I had to fab up an aluminum support for the front because those two pieces & the tailgate strip were missing when I got it.
The install went well for a used top. The last STC install I did on my old '89 was new, so I knew how to put this one on in advance with just a few peeks at the instructions.
I need to tweak a few things tomorrow, but I am very happy with how it turned out.

I also got my sliders painted & the 4th shock installed today too. Loaded up & ready for SE4RJ3...

Tyler helping, yeah right. Dancing to "My Humps"...lol



Me:



test fitting the fabbed aluminum...



Got the piece fitted...



All finished except for the tailgate strip & some adjustments...

 

Here's how the Trail Gear sliders turned out after a coat of flat black.



And the rear shocks:




Me just about ready to go to Tellico:
