Also got the Aux fuse panel installed, and the ball joints installed. The Yoda is slowly coming back together. Got the radiator bracket brazed back on last week while I was over at my buddys house. Then helped him install his homemade snorkle to his j**p YJ. He had just put the 4" lift on it to go with the 2" body and has it sitting on just 31's for now and it took me a little to get in it and Im 6'3" lol Then we got bored and deciede to see how the flex was using the skid steer he has. Will upload a couple of those pics too. It was fun. Working on wiring in the stereo and switches, but got to get speaker wire.

Ordered new door mirrors and the tabs for the door handles(the plastic ones in side the door) off Amazon last night for a totoal of $27!!! Mirrors were onl $14 for the pair!!! Cheaper then going out to the yard and getting them. Will post pics when they come it.

So i've been a little lazy and busy haha. Middle of a 10 day work week. And have been bouncing all over different shifts. But a few updates. Did get the new mirrors mounted, had to re-use all screws cause the included ones were a little short, also had to trim the mirrors a little to get them to sit flush. But they are on. Got teh Aux fuse box in and the stereo wired and the switches for my lights wired. Been really busy with home, had new carpet done, put up new front pourch and working on back patio. Hoping to go out to the U pull and pay soon to get final parts needed to put it back on road.

Think of going with Tread Wright tires, but they dont have a 33x12.5R15 but they do have 285/70R16 that are a true 33"s might just have to look at the yard and see if they have any 16" tacoma rims. Not sure. I know i can get prob buy the rims and get all 5 tires for what it would cost me to get a set of brand new bfg 33's. Also thinking about new color for the truck. GM has a Dark blue metalic i like, might do that and bed line the rocker panels. I know Dupli Color sells it in the 6 oz cans, and I think the local parts stores have that color. or i will order a case off amazon. Not sure. Hope to do some more to the truck soon

So finally got some stuff done on the truck. Just a little project I had wanted to do since I saw it in a Toyota Offroad owners mag. Cant remember the month it was in but will find out. Will be putting all of it in a thread but heres a few pics and info.
Used 4- 3/4" LED round lights and mounted them in to my brand new corner lights cause I didnt want my signals in my bumper anymore, plus gonna make a custon bumper.
Heres a few pics.

Hey man if you ever wanted to sell those chrome rims I might be interested in them

dsal_86Yota

Ill let you know. Im actually thinking of getting the Dupli Color Shadow, chrome black out spray and doing my rims and rollbar in that. They all got some rust on them. The rims were the ones on it when I bought the truck in 2003 and I got the rollbar in 2004. So there weathered. Not 100% yet

Just catching up on your thread and seems you have been making some progress. Great job. The try that comes in these extra cabs is flimsy. I can see why many trucks no longer have them. Your idea is more practical and useable. Great job.
