You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar; I don't care what they say about you.

 

Why thank you. Finishing up the marquee and the rest of the decals in a bit.

 

Does your friend know of your endeavors?

 

Nope. His dad knows though. He’s pulling the 6x9 speakers out of my buddy’s 1999 Prelude for me to install in it actually haha

 

@Wulf

I’m going to be putting on the huge side vinyl art for the cabinet. Do I need to spray water for this?

 

I'm not sure what would be best. I've never done anything that large as a decal but I guess I've done some tint which is probably similar in process.

I would probably make up a spray bottle of soapy water (Google for portions, dish soap or baby shampoo) and spray down the side of the cabinet and the adhesive side of the vinyl as you peel the backing off. That should give you the ability to put it on there but easily pull it off to adjust and get things lined up. When you squeegee the soapy water out be sure to spray the face of the vinyl to reduce the risk of scratches. A microfiber cloth wrapped around a credit card larger piece of plastic works well as a squeegee

 

When you do squeegee it I would go straight down the middle and make a couple passes so you have several inches stuck down good. From there you can squeegee outward.

It will be a lot of work but you have a great amount of patience and are detail oriented so I think you'll be able to make it look great

I might skip paint and do this

 

I was impatient and just sent it haha. Some air bubbles, but I got most of it out with my ID.

 

Awwwwww shit.

It’s starting to look like something again.



Marquee wired with LED strips. Had to solder all those wires. Originally had a (missing) fluorescent fixture.

 

A box with a sticker?

Fun fact the TRD supercharger was made specifically for the T100 to better compete with the American full size v8 truck market.

I would love a supercharged S-Runner though.

 

i know! i had asked him (Line-X guy) to block all draining from in the front, just like it had always been with the plastic liner
he said he caulked the drain holes and sprayed over them

 

i can only imagine how fast a little truck like that would be

 

ok thanks, that particular area should be outside in the 'C channel' section and able to be inspected somewhat easily without special internal cameras and then properly treated
winter slop off the tires must just sit on top of there, somehow get behind there, (maybe gets trapped somehow) and if not thoroughly hosed off regularly will cause issues over time.

because i am literally fascinated with how awfully uneducated i am about this whole matter
and i had never seen the crap like what i found there up close and personal, never!


i want to say that particular truck had the perforations starting already 10 years ago? and that Toyota most likely NEVER contacted the current owner of that truck to get it checked out, so they were unaware such as i was

 

All good, for that size you're fine doing dry. For some reason I thought it was the whole cabinet side

 

Freaking sweet man. Nostalgic af

 

only a 97 tacoma or 4runner ecu will work on a 95-96. in 98 the ecu harness was changed. I have a spare 97 ecu for a 3.4 auto trans if anybodys interested. $100cdn plus shipping

 

arcades used to be a great place to go and socialize, then the home video stuff came onto the market and then everybody disappeared into basements or upstairs lofts
