Where about in Penticton are you? Every spring i plant around princeton & climb at Skaha but i kept forgeting to come visit you. Guess I will have no excuse this coming summer...

coming along real nice. are the bedside pnls the originals? what happened to the roof, is looks like its sagging???

Is it just the angle, or is there something up w/ teh camber on the driver's tire?

on Commercial Way , in the industrial area ... your welcome to come by .. I just ask , you call me first .... I cant always just stop , to chat .



bed panels are the original fiberglass from winnabego , and so is the canopy .. I'm going to be building a new mould for the tops because most Trekkers look like that .When Winnabego built them , they used balsa strengthener strips , and they have all collapsed .. I have pictures of the Trekker I built for a fella in Texas If you want to see .




Yes there is .. as mentioned above , the rims hit the calipers on all 4 corners .
The "shoes" are actually my summers for my DD IFS toy . These are just on there for now (mock up) , untill I order my NEW ones . I really wanted to get a "guage" as to what size of tire I wanted .. those are 31's .


.

finally got the fan controler mounted and wired .. I decided to go with the Flex-a-lite controler .. it will work from 60% to 100% depending on temp. .. + if necessary , it will run 30 seconds longer after vehicle has been shut off .



also .. got my new shoes
315/75R16 's .. (35 X 12.50 16)

NICE! I dig the wheel choice! Makes it look like a whole new truck vs the other ones... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> (damn maybe i should put mine back on)

Thanks Bro .. I really like them myself .. old school <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

so continuing working on brackets for mounting "items" got the rear heater mounted



also working on the wiring ...

made brackets and mounted the computer , routed wires , and "tying" the harness for final loom ..



also started on the dash ...
because of the larger 2000 4Runner speedo , the left ball vent would not fit .. so I first cut out the old , and started to tack in the new .. Thanks Paul .. (donated the piece to the project)

so couple of things today ...
started machining a new antenna mast mount .. I know some might call it silly .. I just think it's all in the small details ..

you can see the old ones in the picture .. and neither nor really fit the new 2000 POWER antenna .. and because the fender is "flat" on the top where the antenna sits , the newer power antenna mounts dont fit either , they sit on the side of the fender .. in the picture .. the chrome stock piece is only a 1/2 .. the picture only shows 1 side .. I think it looked dumb , so this is why I'm making one .

so I started this .. still more polishing to do .




also decided to mock up the headlamp doors ...




and continued working on the dash
First I made a template for the original "woodgrain" , out of paper ... layed it onto some steel , and cut it out ... test fit



then I cut a tab or edging and welded







trimed and drilled ... and screw'd into place ....

Now I have a bare template for heater controles and switches , and sterio ... I'm not a smoker , so there will be NO ash trey in this unit !!!








and .. as this day was ending ... I decided to tape off the dash , and lay some tin foil on the dash .. in prep for fiberglassing a new "base plate" for the new dash pad ...



and a first layer of mat

Wow, you're really getting there Corey.

With all the little electronic gadgets out there, you might consider putting in a cig lighter, if not for anything else, for a solar battery charger or something. I use the one in the back of my '99 quite a bit; mostly for air pump for camping mattresses or small air compressor.

Just a thought; what do the boys think of this project? I know ya keep 'em busy! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
