I will check it in the morning. I think I need to hang it for it to conduct better. It is cleaning up some. I did weld some bolts to the lawn mower blades instead of the way I had it. Good idea on the plastic clips. Will grab some.

Hope your bushings get in early.

I was digging for some other information and found maybe a better picture. Just below the zip tie is a square hole. To the right of the picture, you will see two square clips with screw holes in them. Those are the one you need to move to the other square hole for your longer arm rest. I painted over my clips, but the ones you will need to adjust to your square holes are like a neon yellow (when they are not painted over, lol)


I actually think the empty square hole in between the two plastic squares and the single square is the one you need to move your arm rest to.

Here is what the neon yellow look like unpainted. Just pop them out from the inside to the outside.

 

awesome thanks terry
yeah i think what im gona do is grab the other sr5 armrest from him here on YT an put that on the drivers side so they match also gets me the opportunity to install my map pockets while ive got the door panels off got to get screws for those

i got an upgraded radio for a decent price it allows me to talk an drive the radio answers the phone also can play my music thats on the phone its a quick swap out for the one ive got it uses the same harness

 

snagged a good deal on an idler arm greaseable via ebay 29 bucks mines got a bit of clunk in it so needs replacing an the new again is greaseable for long term life local stores order in 2-3 days 59-109 (109 for greaseable)

also got some bosh wiper arm adapters mine has the metal ones that screw on making them J hook style but cant use newer J hook blades as they lock onto the arm the metal adapter interfeirs the bosh adaptor plugs right onto the stem end of the arm (you can also buy newer 4runner an tacoma arms) making it a J hook end

my upgraded radio came in and the pocket for under the radio im pulling the cup holder thing i never use it as it just isnt what i needed i might put a light in the back top of the pocket so can see phone when i toss it in there

 

So I went from page 1 to this page. I'll lurk more later but I had to comment based solely on that initial INTERIOR!!!!! That is insane how well kept it was. Congratulations my friend on finding that good of an interior for 700!!! I'll probably be spending close to that on my final (by final I mean like done. No more. It's where I want it kind of thing) interior alone!

 

oh dont lurk talk it up thanks for the visit an comment
yeah the interior saved this one the rust is been the big headache finding good body steel has been like the grail quest

 

was 60 deg today got some stuff done

local toyota enthusiast (lives in jerome) has like 5 rigs in his yard 3 of um 4runners had a pair of 84 tan buckets for sale i snagged them for the kids 79 hilux as the seat in it isnt even yota its a chevy luv bench an its falling apart

power washed the oil an dirt off soap an degreaser an darn they came out good soaking wet yes, a few tears an age yes, but still NOT bad for 40 bucks

washed my girl an concentrated on the rear springs an the idler arm area for expected work coming gave her a wash an paint started peeling off the hood maaaaaaan.... ahh well looks like hood gets stripped to bare metal this spring or soon as the temp is warm enough

so seats are in the shop drip drying an i parked my rig tomorrow gona stick upgraded radio in an the under pocket see if the radio need a microphone which it has an extra lead for or has it got an internal one that will work for now i think it does kiddo will get my old radio for his rig later

We had a great day as well, unfortunately I was way behind on my sleep and spent it in bed. Burns me up to miss a great day. Re paints just are not as tough as what they are when they come from the factory, guess it is because they can bake the paint on. Still this is not the same truck as what you started with and has come along ways from where it was and is always great to see it progressing.

I have taken several seats and carpets to the carwash and sprayed them out and it is surprisingly how much of a difference it can make on one. It would be nice to have 5 rigs available for parts. Runners are especially hard to come by.

In that link Jason sent you, I was getting a tire fixed and there is a Corvair convertible right by the tire shop that I use. I got a laugh out of it when I seen it. Next time I am at the shop I will get a picture of it. It is a bare bones car. The guy would sell it to me am sure but I will pass on it.

 

nod its why i did that to these seen you do it an get great results, so far he's gotten radiator for xmas an the seats are for his June 6th birthday lol if ya happen to see a hilux thats being parted terry he needs hood drivers door an floor pans
heres a picture of that

 

so much rust i must have made terry faint LOL that poor old thing was used by an ol boy to fish from on the beaches of corpus christy TX beach is smooth an so low slope you can back out an sit till well into having yer tires half under the water which is warm as bath water

couple pictures of the seats still quite damp one is with flash thus the whiter look to it

passenger seat




drivers side


installed my upgrade radio an the phone function works the under radio pocket is..not quite the option id hoped its short bout 1/4 coming to the radio bezel but its in and the pocket only had the one spot i could use unless i wanted to drill new holes in my radio brackets an im loth to do that they're too hard to find

gona go out an try the wiper arm adpaters tomorrow

 

Lol, I thought that is how all first gen trucks floorboards came from the factory. All the ones I see look the same way. Seats came out great. They will look and smell so much better when they dry. Bet you were surprised to see all of the gunk that come out of them. You ought to see what comes out of carpets. That stuff should be considered hazardous waste. lol

 

well i got a couple license plate frames just dress up

got a Accel coil coming figured a newer hotter spark couldnt hurt ive always upgraded the coil in my previous vehicles an saw some good gains in drive-ability an easy starting (shes kinda been hard to start couple times)

also snagged the other sr5 armrest for my rig so matched set lol

my idler arm arrived an its the wrong one i asked before purchase is this greaseable as per the pictures an they said yes it was came in no zerk fittings no holes for them they got an email just that fast requesting the correct part asap

 

Oh I will haha I was lucky enough to have no rust on mine but my interior leaves much to be desired such as a radio, climate control fascia, proper seat brackets, dome light, working speedo, tach, proper rear window etc. A new carpet and seat covers would make a world of difference though. Good luck on your build and I'll be checking in regularly. Happy Yota-ing!

 

I am curious to see if the Accel coil makes a difference. Keep us posted on that. Something I just never thought about.

 

ok i got whacked pretty hard and fast infection high fever blood pressure an heart rate sky high dr's yammering on about things ive told them im not discussing so after getting antibotics which felt like i was trying to get gold from fort knox.....

i installed my accell super stock coil which is to provide a hotter spark easyer starts complete burn better use of the fuel means more HP an MPG

easy is to easy a word for this fits great took me longer to find my ratchet




what you get in the box




HOLYHANNA its cal carb board approved color me amazed




side by side size diferences




all installed

so first start was id have to say a learning moment for the ecu didnt start 2nd try she pops over an idles up an down for a moment an then smoothed out so sweet i was quite pleased
havent taken her for a drive yet friday i have to go do more blood work so ill get to then an mon nother dr appointment

 

Damn dude. I really hope you get back on your feet and feel better soon.

 

im working on it bit by bit thanks


report on a night drive i took to go get some sauce for dinner got a hill got to go up to get there i pushed it smooth held power an then i added she steadily accelerated up the hill till i reached the top (several small plateaus along it)at bout something nearly double the legal speed i actually lifted the tires a tiny bit

my opinion if you want to liven up a 22re get her one of these coils smooth i actually accidentally left it in second talking with the kid an she didnt balk or shudder just went like it was first lol

 

There is some nasty colds going around. Cant believe there is a California emissions tag for a coil. I need to do my part to increase global warning, it is colddd here. Iknow there is more power to be had out of these little motors, just have to find where it is at.

 

oh terry its not a cold.. you know my 'foot'

an yes calif is just that nutz that they made farmers retrofit all farm equip with catilitcs all heavy haul semi have to pass stringent air checks so over the top companies now to avoid it drop off frieght outside the state in leased or bought sites in their trailers the calif ONLY trucks come out to get it an drop off outgoing

i was born there an lived there several different times in my life i wont go back its turned into a regulations madhouse course im a weirdo mom circle track raced while pregers with me in her daily driver 57 chevy belair LOL

 

My mom DD'd a '57 Bel Aire while pg with me too! Black with red interior. Maybe that's the reason I love cars!

 

moms was a blue with white side panels she didnt like the aluminum had the area painted
