Black / Red Interior refresh

Work in progress…

Next up, suede headliner and pillar install. starlite headliner and hunting for 2 more matching Scion buckets to do rear bucket conversion. Should be complete over the next 2 weeks!

 

That looks pretty sick.

FRS steering wheel and seats?

Did something similar but put the OEM vinyl convenience package 'carpet' in mine and wrapped some stuff with leather from a junkyard Mercedes seat.

While you got the headliner down I strongly recommend Dynamat and Dynaliner on the roof big improvements in temps and noise.









Either way blacked out or at least darker interior is the way to go!

 

FRS seats and a Camry wheel I added a wrap on it. I’ve been looking into the sound deadening foam and matting on some YouTube vids. I’d love to quiet the cab a bit. I was going to grab the new carpet kit but have the rit dye a try first. Glad I didn’t waste the $200 bucks on new carpet!

 

I wanted to be rid of carpet completely, it holds too much sand moisture and stains be it light or dark and even the best huskies or weather techs only reduce what gets into the carpet but something always makes it's way under them.

I put Dynamat Dynaliner and Dynapad on the floor as well and removed all the jute deadener and foam blocks from the vinyl no more humid cab.

No pictures of the floor I was on a time constraint to get done and boy is Dyna a time consuming process but I did insulate the heck out of my cup holders which is nice.

 

Have red seatbelts in my type r. Would look awesome in your taco.

 

Looking good. Would like to see it when you've done the headliner.

 

Do all of the buttons work on the steering wheel?

 

Nice! I sent mine to safety restore, should be back anyday!

 

thanks, I post an update when it’s up

 

my taco is an 06 and oem wheel didn’t have any buttons so they are all useless to me but not in the way.

 

My carpets seem to be getting g a lot of moisture also. Do you think just sound deadening the roof will make a huge difference or are doors back wall and floor a must?

 

So I kinda experimented and after doing deadening on each section I took it for a test drive and the rear wall and doors were the biggest difference then the floor the roof only really made a difference when raining but that difference was HUGE you can't hear the rain anywhere other than the windshield now. That said with each section done the sound decreased a tiny bit but more so seemed to move to the next area that *hadn't* yet been done so really to get the most out of it and have it really be worth it you need to do the whole cab unfortunately. As for doing the roof it made the biggest difference in thermals the truck stays way cooler and the AC and heater seem way more effective.

 

I can take the doors off easy. The carpet is another story lol . Gonna take your advice and mat it up!

 

nice, my seats are just sitting there waiting to be installed

 

Progress

 

Headliner

 

Slow and steady grind

 

Super mission…. ‍

 

holy fuck dude even put stars like a Rolls Royce
and on a vehicle actually deserving of the investment as opposed to a MK4 Jetta
where did you learn to do this
you must be a professional

Finally someone doing up an interior like it's supposed to be.

My last car I tried and it all went to shit. Brief summary of events:
-pulled the parts
-found out I need to use air compressor, paint gun, DAP landau top trim adhesive, respirator (it makes fumes) and dry/cure outdoors upside down so gravity helps
-needed 1/8" foam-backed automotive fake suede headliner about $14/ft, $200 per vehicle, UV resistant, some stretchiness to help wrap it
-would be tricky to wrap, around contours without making wrinkles, like grab handle and map light holes
-might need to cut wooden dowels and buy clamps, so that after gluing the fabric holding it clamped while it cures
-shops with skilled hands/experience still wanted an arm and a leg to do this shit, even if you brought the headliner board to them already out of the car

never ended up doing it
Haven't been forced to on the Taco since it has no sunroof with drain tubes to fail and leak water onto the stock headliner causing it to sag and stain,
but all black and suede would be nice...

dang you even did the off road floor...
