Thank you for reminding me why I love these things.

Man, I still gotta get down to see this. Maybe after I finish up College this year.

If I only had a garage.. it snows alot where I live and know if I some coverage I would be on the ball to building something worth while.. Great build!

 

thanks guys

Paint, Paint, PAINT!!!! I have been waiting to see this thing with with PAINT ever since I joined YotaTech. for a lack of better terms your build was my first... well you know. I think I speak for all of your followers, "YAY PAINT!"

 

Hey slacker nice build up once again. BTW I noticed we have some chrome tail light bezels on this rig. Anyway you might be able to let me know where I can pick up a set of those in good to new condition?

 

Couple pages back he shows how he got them.

 

just buttening up a few loose ends , and again waiting for the "uhpolstery guy" to do the A pillers

should be in paint before the end of the month for SURE !!

Thanks
Mojave and Mirrage , toyota editions we're (as far as I know) we're the only trucks to have these "accessories"
these are very hard to come by .. I have a spare set , but not likely to let them go cheep .. if at all

My truck has them aswell. My truck was restored in the mid to late 90's by a toyota employed mechanic. I changed a bulb not to long ago and noticed that they were not restored but actually new peices (obviously not available anymore). I have two extra sets of new and like new Chrome 82-83 headlight doors and an extra grill. I will offer you $200 for the tail lights you have if they are like new and an extra $50 if you have the chrome cab vents in the same condition. If not keep a eye out for me. Seems yall have alot of 1st gens in your area.

 

there we're quite a few 1st gens in this area .. but #'s have dwindled significantly because of everyone cutting them up for rock crawlers !! just like everywhere else !!

I really dont want to sell my "spare set" Chrome lamps .. as I seriously doubt I will ever find another set .. the lens bezzles are the really hard pieces to find .. I know of a couple of guys with the chrome lamps that want big bucks for them , but none of them have the chrome bezzles on the lenses ..

Chrome cab vents are a different story ..

I come across them quite often , as they we're on all of the sr5 models ..
I had a few sets in stock , but now I only have the 1 set left for my trekker ..


.

 

ok .. I lied !!

I had to do 1 more thing before paint ..

I had to build a moulding/cover for the transition between the roof and cab

started by building it in Pieces , and then glassing it together ..



trimmed and "snapped" into place ..



still a little finishing , and some uhpolstery to do .. but you get the idea ..



.

 

where do you find trekkers for sale? I have never seen one on the east coast in classifieds.

 

my company will have them avaliable as a "kit" .. this or next year ..

but you can also always try http://toyotatrekker.proboards.com/index.cgi
