Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

​

 

I've got a tiny door ding on my passenger side I need to heat up and take an ice cube to. It should pop out with a rapid cooling.

 

You should try dry ice works well for me you can youtube it.

 

I had a bad experience with that crap once. I still remember the burn. Note - not a toy.

This is the size of a pfennig, so it shouldn't be too hard. Then again, if we decorate for Halloween I can make a witches' brew with the ice when I'm done on the door.

 

Nice. Did you have to do anything to the factory hitch or did everything match up nicely?

 

Been busy AF lately! Dunno if I can meet this evening or not. I have another interview tomorrow up north and I really need to study some old text book stuff about the technology to refresh myself and not look like a jackass But then again I gotta eat too

 

I have tried searching and cant find the answer I need.

I want to install a switch and a new USB slot in the blanks that are in the lower dash panel.
Anybody know how to get to them without using a pry bar?

@Texoma, anyone please.

 

Everything matched up nicely. All I had to do was pull off the stock bumper and slide the new one on. It’s heavy as a mofo and I was doing it without help. So I put a cooler at each end of the bumper to hold it up and that worked perfectly.

 

Something tells me the center console has to come out

Cannot confirm ​

 

Yea, that's what I'm thinking but was hoping that I would not have to take everything apart.

 

Think I got lucky. I can pry the blanks out and now I can see a little daylight. Might be able to just fish the wires through.

 

I was gonna say I know I can pry my ones out on the left side with a small plastic pry bar. Then use a couple zip ties or a wire feeder to fish the wires through there.

 

Pop shift gate cover off of center console, pull one corner up at a time. Remove rear center console via two bolts under fabric beneath the lid, and two screws attaching it to center console. Remove center console via two screws near shift gate. Reach under and up behind switch blank to push it out. I usually grab something small and metal to help as my fingers aren't long enough.

Before assembling, clean out all the crap that's accumulated under that space.

 

DONE, wires are ran.
Now just have to hook everything up.

 

Yup, I pulled mine out with a flat-head screwdriver

 

Nope, can't tell ya...

 

I wrapped a small flat head with electric tape to get the blanks out.

 

@Schwrtz27 where you at in the ATX?

I was installing my new in dash unit, door speakers, and sub.
