got the front valance mounted ... now I can do the final body work on it ... ![[Linked Image]](http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2/bj_bumperboy/MY%20Trekker/IM001747-1.jpg) also got a bunch more new pieces .. outer door handles and locks .. I will be sending the locks out to be all re keyed to the ignition .. so I will have 1 key. ![[Linked Image]](http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2/bj_bumperboy/MY%20Trekker/IM001745.jpg) also continueing on with the harness .. looking good , although you probabally cant tell by the pic .. getting close to being finished ... ![[Linked Image]](http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2/bj_bumperboy/MY%20Trekker/IM001746.jpg) .

It may be a little late for this, but might I suggest adding a removable panel under the back seat for fuel tank access, like the later 4Runners have? Seems like it might save some headaches down the road.

I welded up a bunch of unwanted holes on the firewall and got all the new nuts installed to make the pieces "boltable" . ![[Linked Image]](http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2/bj_bumperboy/MY%20Trekker/IM01752001.jpg) also working on the tranny tunnel .. ![[Linked Image]](http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2/bj_bumperboy/MY%20Trekker/IM01752003.jpg) got it cut and ground ![[Linked Image]](http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2/bj_bumperboy/MY%20Trekker/IM01752004.jpg) also started to attach some of the "hold down studs" for the emergance brake cable .. still have to do the rear heater line hold downs .. I used these pieces , and just drilled holes to plug weld them in place .. ![[Linked Image]](http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2/bj_bumperboy/MY%20Trekker/IM01752002.jpg) got lots of the welding I wanted to do .. but I still have a bit more .. .

I ended up spendin 1/2 the day looking for these stupid little nuts , finally I went to the wrecker and "knocked" some off with a hammer and chistle .. so anyway .. made some backing plates for the seatbelt and seattrack bolt down nuts .. ![[Linked Image]](http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2/bj_bumperboy/MY%20Trekker/IM01753005.jpg) and got them welded ... ![[Linked Image]](http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2/bj_bumperboy/MY%20Trekker/IM01753006.jpg) just about ready to seal up the underside and give it some BLACK ... .
