RSB's Radiant Red Tacoma build

[RSB]

there's an anchor in the middle of the back seat where the buckles meet, perfect for the right strap on the driver side and left strap on the passenger side. But where would the other straps go? I couldn't find a spot to anchor to, especially for quick release.

Thank-you for your feedback.

be very careful with the seat belts like that. in a front colision with any sort of speed the belts anchored to the floor will want to compress your spine.
why not put the anchors to the back seat seat belt bolts? they are quick release, just unsnap them when not needed or someone is in the back seat

i dont have a taco so i cant be quite sure but usually you can use the seat belt bolts with a tab for the eye to thread into. look where the seat belt starts by the doors.

Thanks. I'll take a look so I can get this issue addressed immediately. The cab is so small for a roll cage—I'm thinking I might just need to remove the harnesses altogether.

I've also added a Uniden PRO520XL CB radio. With an elbow angle coax adapter and some help with a Dremel and heat gun, I managed to install it flush w/the dash:

I still need to find a solution for mounting the microphone—along with all others.

For the antenna, I mounted a 4' K40 Tunable Whip:

Also pictured is a new interior winch controller from RoadlessGear.com. Scott Brady had the same controller originally installed in his Tacoma.

And what good is an interior winch controller w/out a winch?!

Warn M8000 w/5/16" Viking Trail Line and ATV Winch Saver safety thimble installed! :wings: I opted to keep the controller on the bumper.

I forgot to post a photo of the switch to the seat heater.

I made the opening a little too big at first and had to use a hole plug to fix the gap. It took a few attempts before I could make it look OEM.

I also installed a Whelen PAP112 Power Airhorn w/PA system. The control box was mounted beneath the rear driver seat compartment. The 100 watt siren speaker (Whelen SA315P) was placed behind the grill with a universal mounting plate. It was cut to fit around the clips that secure the grill to the body of the truck.

With 3 microphones now, I really need to find a solution that keeps them all secure yet easily accessible!

To activate the air horn, I installed a Linemaster 491-S foot switch next to the clutch.

It's not quite ready yet. First I need to finish wiring the new dual batt setup! :sombrero:

Here's a link to the YouTube video I found I think best replicates what the air horn sounds like:
