Could have been worse haha. The PO of my '80 wired the radio by stripping and twisting wires together and then wrapping the 'connections' in masking tape. MASKING TAPE. Holy facepalm.

Oh, and would ya get that top done already?

 

if the floods stop hopefully get started on sunday or monday..

 

Progress pics, top test fit;




Fiberglass isn't perfect but it'll work.

 

Let me be the first to say that I'm uber impressed!

 

How am i not subscribed to this?

Lookin good man!

 

That truck looks like it was made that way. The bob is very appropriate.

 

 

Looks dang good

 

What softeware are you using on your tablet? Nice build!! Trying to read it all, read the first page and last couple pages working backwards lol..... maybe thays why it takes so long for me to work on stuff

 

That looks killer! Really nice job!

I bet that thing will squeeze into the tightest of places, which I'd imagine is a nice thing to be able to do with all the trees in your neck of the woods!

Again, very good work!

 

Thank everyone. It is far from perfect but for a wheeler it will work.

Found my DMM today and measured the draw on the rock lights all 10 are only drawing 4 amps.
The HID driving lights are drawing 8.5 amps. Kind of nice to know.
Still need to do my GM alternator conversion though.


Not sure which software you mean it is running android 3.2 honeycomb, the msp software I downloaded is back country explorer but haven't really played with it much.

 

Did u have to buy it? My milestone has gingerbread ( google has soft names for their os )

 

Damn, that looks like its supposda be that way

 

The back country explorer was around $10.
The tablet is supposed to be upgradeable from Honeycomb to Ice Cream Sandwich. Same as my Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket..will see if that actually happens

Thanks Zach!

 

Hey dropzone, seen that u wanted to do the gmt alt conversion, ill trade u a gm 1 wire alt for ur Toyota alt

 

looks awesome. glad you got it done!!

 

i have all the junk to do it, just need to get around to it.

thanks, still not done though, test fit..

 

A little more progress -
Got the bed rail mounts done with nuts welded on the backside to allow the top mounts:

 

Was staring at what I did last week and it looked like the top might end up too high so remounted the bed rail mounts underneath


Should make for a cleaner install.
Added some dowells for some reinforcement in the top

 

Another step closer.
Cut the window frames to fit:

Test fit the frame

Epoxy the frames together, sealed and screwed down tight:
