I hope I wasnt "harsh" didnt mean to be, I know I probabaly should .. heck what if I want to do this again (yeah right) .... I know it would help others , but ... uhhhh .. we'll see I guess .
the list is getting shorter (as per your box) you'll notice most of my posts are on weekends !! really , I only work on the Trekker in my "spare" time (some weekends and evenings ) .. this is why it's taking so long 
ahhh so you got that 20 bucks huh ?

thanks Rob

so a little bit more today ....
I got the dome lamp/rear view mirror "fit" and wired

and almost done the wiring .. only things left now are the :
1. radiator cooling FAN
2. amp guage
3. boost guage
4. o/p guage .... and any other guage I might "think" I will need
everything else is DONE !
I know it dosnt look very "nice " at the moment , I do still have to "pull " some pins and i'm going to wait untill I pull it out again to do so .. most of the final saudering is DONE .. again .. I want to wait for some of it untill pull the harness out , so I'm not working in such cramped quarters .

also working on the factory air box just about dont that ..

hmmmm...that 4Runner rear view mirror idea looks kinda familar
(though yours looks better
)
pic also reminded me of a question I had for you. Across the top of the Trekker shell where it mounts to the cab are three sections where it kind of steps out about 3/4" from the frame about 5-6" long. Are these there for reinforcment? Just curious what they were for...

tacked !!! 
still have to modify the seat crossmembers to fit (there just sitting there ) and weld the nuts before I can weld them in --- but kind of shows you the seat support .
