Check out my sig for links (pics!) of my seat swap, and the amber dash bulbs (which I just did and love!).

I also scored a second towhook at the boneyard last weekend for $2.75

 

no pictures, but here goes...

scored a free K&n intake off a '02 4runner, modified to fit my T100. fit the heat shield in and used 1/8 in steel plates and the trim that comes with k&n's to seal the corner off. then, i rotated the tube that goes into the fender 180* to face forward. now, when racing, i pull the passenger side corner light. free intake!

got a electric fan off a C5 z06 corvette, wired it in with an autozone thermostatic controller. $22.

Got a rancho steering stabilizer off a 3/4 ton dodge. mounted it with one of the bolts for the idler arm, using a shock mount of a late model silverado.

inside, i put the dome light from my old '90 regular cab in and wired it to the stock dome light. now i have two! lol


other than that, extended the breathers, and various little things i cant think of right now...

 

probably not a good idea since snow and ice like to accumulate there. the motor would either suffocate or hydro-lock from drawing in the water. Not to mention what would happen if it simply rained?

 

I agree, doesn't seem too good of an idea.

BigBluePile made a snorkel up through the valance, looks good and would eliminate that problem. Here's his build thread: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f88/...norkel-194369/

 

yeah I dont see a problem with the way he did that.

 

Never mind , leaves, bugs and crud in general falls in there.

Painted my canopy, from this:


...to this:


This last image also shows my $20 canopy window replacement.

 

My rust coverup........

 

hey teuf, thats a neat looking trick, i have rust there also, so ill see what i can do

 

the reason it looks funny is because that smittybuilt bumper isnt a brush guard, it is supposed to REPLACE your original bumper!! haha, i dont even know how you would attach that with the other bumper on there???

 

Looks good. I used Mighty Putty to patch my rusty holes. I cut out loose fragments and sanded down to bare metal. This left me with a clean hole which I filled with MP, primed and painted. I forgot to get a before, but here's the after (there used to be a 2-inch wide rusty hole here):

 

Great, I'm gonna look into that MP myself

 

Found some cheap LED lights at walmarchet yesterday while looking for some fishing gear; they were $23 in the automotive electrical section, had a few different kinds but decided on this one as they are thin and have more LEDs (12 total per light)

They're clear and probably won't be super bright but they should help, have to wait until dark to test them out. I measured the power at the back up lights and it was only 9.95 VDC so losing some of their effectiveness right from the start but didn't feel like running a hot wire all the way from the battery so I just tapped directly into the existing backup bulbs. the LEDs don't draw very much power anyway, and they're cheap crap!

Fabbed some brackets from some steel 'strap' material I had laying around and pop-rivited the mount to it; it wraps around my tow bar which should also provide decent protection for the lights.

The kit comes with all the wires and even a switch and a fused link as they are intended for 'driving' lights.

Anyway, enough rambling, here are some pics

 

I love rivets

 

Take some night pics,.

 

I gotta do that to the bottom of my doors.. Not looking forward to it.

 

I got given an 80Litre fridge/freezer.. Got some MDF Board and vinyl and glue for about $40..

Well I took the back seat out of my 4 door pick up...



Made up a basic stand for the fridge, later on I mounted a toolbox to the board also.



And the ratchet strap holding the fridge in place.






It didn't pass for roadworthy with the back seat removed, so I had to take this setup out
