40 Guy builds a 100 Series

Decided to get serious about adding a switch panel. Contura rockers off eBay and a little time with the box knife and I ended up with this set up.

Before...

Cut, chop, rebuild...

Done...

Looks nice. I like the ceiling rack.

Twenty pages in....and I'm still hungry for more. How did the LED light bar work set so far back?

Thanks man, I have loved your threads in the past. Thanks for the kind words.

It has been perfect, I get very little spill on the hood and even less on the dash, all while lighting up the trail. I only use it for slow trail work at night... so it doesn't come on too often but when it does it is set up really nicely. Only down side is, when I open my sunroof it creates quite the whistle at freeway speeds but it isn't any louder at street speeds around town.

I build an attic ala Land Cruiser Phil... but for a 1999.

Built some brackets...

I love this idea! Now I want to do this too. Great rig, it's really looking mean.

Thanks man, I am about to dump the 35's they are just too much hassle to get to work correctly. I do like the way they look but they gotta go.

295/70-18 or 285/75-18 is a good compromise in a 34” tire that is a bit skinnier. It’s looking great with the Tundra wheels!

How did you make that badge?

How did you make that badge?

It was a promo Toyota was doing a few years ago, I just signed up for a few badges and they arrived about a week later. I have no idea where they came from.

Well, I finally found the time to create, wire, and finish off my Dual Battery System with an entire auxiliary electrical system (breaker, fuse block, ground bus, relays and terminals). It wasn't too hard, but it took some time and planning. It came out nice and clean, and the Blue-Sea ML-ACR is the ticket to this kind of setup. In the end I wish I had gone a different route with the batteries as my Optima yellow top only has a surprising 45 amp hours... kinda lame.

I'm building a really similar rack, using the gamiviti feet, do you happen to have the dimensions of the mounting plates with the slotted holes?

I found it on Toyota’s Spanish website for the USA market. I got one for my 3500 (Blanca) too.

I don't but I can measure for you.

That would be much appreciated.... could you measure overall width, length, thickness, and then the typical dimensions and spacing of the slots?

Oh, Okay.
