then ready for carpet ..


.

 

Nice sound system, GPS, Backup camera? Your going all out man, it's gonna be nicer than a brand new car.

Can't wait to see it finished. keep it up.

 

thanks .. I know nothing about sound systems .. or I didnt when I started .. I know a little bit now ..

that being said .. this one is the FIRST "big" systems I have ever bought !!




planned out the sub box , and amp rack .. and now ready to build it .. I'm excited , it's going to sound nice ..


.

 

so .. crap ..

I talked to the upholstery guy today , as he was supose to be comming in tomorrow to do the carpet ..

IT'S BACK ORDERED .... and wont be here for another week !!!!!
sheesh !!


.

 

That sucks! One of the problems with living in a non huge centre.

 

I know the feeling my carpet will not be ready for another 2 weeks, He is waiting for a template to arrive.

 

well, at least that means you're not up against a wall to get all your wiring done before he can start. . .

 

wiring is done !! .. I just haven pulled the amps and stuff .. well .. I guess I have a week to do this now .. so no rush .

I did install the steering column today .. cleaned up the column covers and installed them as well .. done !
also bought the 4X8 sheet of 3/4" MDF for the sub box .. so will be starting that very soon .

also got the hood on and adjusted .. so thats done ...


have some pics soon ..


.

 

wow!! i think i just drooled on my keyboard..

this is probably the best restore/build on yt!!

great work man! i cant wait to see the final product!!!

you have to post an ass load of pics when its finished, and maybe a vid of that 3.4 wide open ..

 

Damn Slacker!! That thing is gonna be show truck nice when you're done.

So jealous....

 

thanks guys ...


.

 

so as I mentioned .. steering wheel is in ..



I also bought one of those cheep car covers off of ebay .. it's suposably for a 4Runner .. its basically a generic cover , but I figured with the interior and electroncis going in , and my shop being so dusty .. It might be a good idea ..



also .. got the SUB box mostly done ..

Just checked this thread out since my last replay nearly 2 years ago... This project is outstanding. The work you are doing looks incredible. I love seeing all the metal pieces being sealed up to prevent rust. Rust is my No. 1 worst enemy.

Besides all the repainting etc... the wiring looks great too. I just installed some backup lights on my pickup and realized I don't really like wiring that much. This takes it to a whole new level. You've inspired me to do it correct the first time.. I need to weatherproof all my wiring and secure it.

I bet your Trekker will outlast any new vehicle. Especially since you've got a solid platform.

 

Thanks PWD ..
i`m useing dilectric grease on all of my electrical connections , expecially the exterior ones .. it`s expencive .. but it works and lasts ..expecially in the salt/corrosion areas of North America

I`m hoping this Trekker will be around for a very long time ..

Hey your steering wheel is on sideways

Other than that nice job.

 

: ) .. yes .. it is ..
have not had the chance yet to "set it correctly" although the alignment should be "bang on" .. I will still have to "take it in" and make sure .. as I dont have an alignement rack ..

It will be corrected then ..

just like the "no oil" tape on the engine (many posts ago) it is a reminder to me that I need to get it done

...drooling again... this thread has moved up to 2nd place on the list of reasons to wake up in the morning! keep up the awe inspiring work slacker!
