Well tommyxrunner came down yesterday with a few mods he wanted to get done. We didn't start till about 4:30 yesterday afternoon and were all finished up by 1:30 this afternoon. Including a little over 7hrs of rest and sleep time. We definately got more done than we expected.
I didn't take too many pics while working but some finished pics.
First off we pulled his headlights to do the BHLM and I ordered a retrofit kit from babyboi so decided to do mine as well so they are all set once the kit shows up.(my headlights already removed since I have other projectors on truck right now)
We also pulled the dash to change his LEDs and the 3rd brake light to tint. As well as remove the A-pillar to mount his Ultra Gauge above rearview mirror like the babyboi mod.
Then the fun starts putting headlights in the oven. Alot easier to seperate them than we expected we did 325 degrees for 11 mins. As we were waiting for those to heat up to seperate we started on taking the dash cluster apart and changing LEDs in between headlights.
Then start painting all that ugly chrome in headlights, as well as plasti dip the toyota emblem, paint some plugs for the license plate holes since he repositioned it, as well as exhaust strap to mount ultragauge
Inbetween waiting for all the coats of paint we put the gauge cluster back in truck, ran the ultragauge cord and put dash pieces back together. Then started on the 3rd brake light.
Once the headlight bezels were all dry we put them back together and in oven to reheat the silicone and clip back together. After they cooled down we ran another bead of silicone around the whole headlight to make sure they have a tight seal. Left mine apart till the retrofit comes.
Then time to relax since it was about 1:30am.
Started working about 9am today and did some touchup paint spots, put headlights and 3rd brake light back in, did an Evo Mod,finished the ultragauge install and Dynamatted my front doors since i put new components in on friday.
Finished everything by 1:30. Here's a few pics of some of the finished products
