Not on my '86 SR5! LOL!! I don't even have those really nice door panels either!!

 

Lordy that's a good looking mod. Cleanest interior on a 20y/o 4runner I've ever seen!

I bet if you bought alot of dashes from a pick-n-pull, cleaned em up, and modded em like that, people would be lining up to buy em from you.

 

Thanks, the rig is really clean, which is almost a detriment, as I don't want to ruin it. I bought it from the original owner with 125k miles on it. It spent most of it's life under a carport.

You know, I would try to mod and sell them, but out here in CA, I cannot find a first gen 4Runner in any of the local PnP yards. They get bought up by Yota wreckers who want a pretty penny for the parts.

Plus, this is really an easy mod. I figured it out and posted it up. The guys should be able to buy the parts and do it themselves with no problems. I would feel guilty profiting from this mod. Now, my LED backup light mod that I'm going to do this weekend, that one I might charge for.....

 

Why feel guilty for making a profit? There's tons of people who have the ability to mod it, but would rather just buy the damn thing rather than waste their time on it. It's like building a sub box. I have the ability, know-how, and tools to make a badass one, but I'm lazy and it's just not worth my time when I could buy it already made.

 

I see your point, but I'm not in the dash mod business. My day job keeps me plenty busy and the three year old wears me out chasing him around when I'm home.

 

Definitely hear that. Good work nonetheless.

 

wow, nice work...i'm going to have to look into this stuff in a few months,

 

Thanks,

I just finished installing my LED backup lights and hooked them up to the right most switch. I need to get a write up done on that mod, it came out pretty darn nice.

Now to figure out what to hook up to the middle switch.

 

nice! i think i'll be adding the same... i should buy them in bulk and get a group buy going

 

Subscribed !!

this will be a perfect mod when I get my 85 Runner finished and need to mount my ARB switches and my fan switches.

Great post with the part numbers and everything...

Thanks.

 

looks like you paint ball too ? and got the same energizer battery charger haha but mine are for my nitro rc cars

 

Just reread this, Thanks mike for the write up. Thinking of doing this along with a blue sea fuse block on the 4Runner.

 

That exact switch panel fits fine in the 89-95 as well.

You just need to cut a lot in the dash behind it (didn't seem to be anything structural though).

 

hmm will the 6 slotter fit? It sure looks like it will... i know the 3 slotter is 3" long... so 6", roughly?

 

Without knowing what's behind the dash on all 6 switches, I would say there's a chance.

The only concern I have is that I know I cut some of the support bars for the cluster...not necessarily enough to make the cluster loose in the dash, but I was being careful.

You could put it in the console in front of the shifter/t-case lever?

Btw, the Blue Sea Block is a nice piece, I have it in mine, which is mounted up behind the radio under the dash. Not the easiest piece to get access to, but very protected.

Now if I could only get the **** roof lights working.

 

Yeah, Im also looking for a place to mount the blue sea fuse block... having the 3vz its a pain in the ass to put it in the engine bay. But i'll check out the little front cubby... maybe that'll work
