2016 TRD Sports DCLB Build in Japan

They're out there, not many though. Also, it's crazy that since my Taco is quicksand I've noticed a lot of older vehicles here with the same color. One of them is a car that was on base last time I was here. Didn't care too much for that color then, but now it's cool.

An older Sunny would be sick, but don't think the bed would hold my motorcycle(s). My Voxy with the rear seats removed suffices and I'm slated to leave end of this year so I'm probably going to stick with it until then. Unless I can find a well priced Toyota pickup or older Tacoma that I can take back with me.

 

You can often find Landcruisers in red for very cheap price. Sometimes Dutsuns...

Some small progress...

 

Add LED lights to tell people to f*ck off my ass
Its hard to tell but its a hell of a bright LED. Im not sure the wattage..lmao

 

Thanks to Avid Offroad.
Some dumbass hit my car while parked, thanks to Avid Offroad Bumper Guard, no damage to the car itself.
Sad to see powder coat getting messed up but it did its job! It wasnt even bent. Great product!

 

what thing did they have to do to pass Japanese rules?

 

I just realized what your license plate says. You crack me up!

 

As far as I remember, bilnkers needed some kinda mod, headlight adjustment, and front camera and side camera were mandatory, and shop did it for me. Most of the times, you pitch in enough money and you can pass the inspection.lmao

 

ahh ok one of those kind.

 

Some progress...
I finally ditched the alligator clips and went with the fuse box.lol

 

that is not bad idea are the holes silicone?

 

Yea this is just a prototype that im hoping it will not blow up before i make an actual box.lol
I made too much holes trying to align all the gadgets and stays.
I just bought another tapperware, Im planning to use hole saw and one of those rubber plugs.

 

Installed TRD PRO Grille and also 300W LED.
I also added flare and a flare holder on drivers side.

 

I love everything about this! Sub'ed. What's it like to have something that rare? People probably stare in awe.

 

I just finished wiring of the LED but had a small fire in engine bay this morning.lmao
Luckily it only put one wire red hot to melt some other wires, no biggie. Only thing is it now smell like a burnt rubber.lmao

I think there is only a dozen of them here already registered. I have not seen any turd gen here yet.

 

Now getting close to what i intend to do...
Gotta change out the headlight to LED or HID, so I can put the headlight covers to black it out.

 

Actually pretty surprised about how bright the LED came out.

 

Does anybody have suggestions on place to slip in a relay actuator for HF/Hi of headlights? Preferably under the hood.
Im trying to tap into HF to have LED work with Hi/HF, as well as regular switch.
Since I could not find "IA5" or did not want to create an obvious hole on Junction Box, I was thinking to just tap in to W wire on Hi with a diode.

But I really prefer not to electrotap or cut the wire and splice if possible. Is there any other places where i could splice off or tap in for relay actuator?
Or maybe best place to drill in the Junction box to get some extra wires out of the box?

 

My mom lives out in Yokohama! Somewhere in 2 Chome, Minami Ward, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. Next time I am out there I will keep an eye out for your truck!

 

No way! BTW my boss have house in Tampa Bay as well.lmao
Hit me up when you have chance to come out! We can go grab a beer or two, or more...
