Now's the time to run wires for future use. Extra lights, inverter, etc. Don't forget to wire in a back-up cameras while you have it all pulled out.

Also - CB/HAM antenna cables. Whichever you plan. Now's also the time to put in new speakers in the back over head cargo area.

Also - is you rig wired for towing? Nows the time to do it, and do it right.

Antennae, reverse lights, backup camera are all things I would have forgotten. Thank you! It is wired for towing but the green wire that runs along the far back has been cut. . . What would that be for? All lights functioned that I know of on the rig. Never plugged anything into tow harness to check it though.

I have the green wire also, and have no idea what it's for. I did the trailer, and e-brake wiring myself.

Don't forget also sometime in the future you may want to add LED work lights on a rack in the rear. I'd recommend a Power Distribution Block for future wiring. Bring a 0 or 4 gauge wire direct from the battery (or 2nd battery). You can tap into this for power needs (life a fridge). I have two behind the right side cargo panel (were the 8" woofer is). Makes it easy for power needs. Just be sure and add a fuse at the battery side. This is what I ran for my amp and block... Boss Audio KIT2 8 Gauge Amplifier Installation Kit

Nice to run all the wires while the carpets out!

Also -- the cubby hole on the right side is a great place for a rear subwoofer amplifier. A small mono block fits in the easily.

This is the one I'm using for the rear/right sub -- SOUND STORM SMCM200 Mini 200-Watt Monoblock, Class A/B 2 to 8 Ohm Stable Monoblock Amplifier - but any compact amp will work.

Don't forget to replace those cargo overhead speakers with something better!

Who would have thought a Prius could handle an Inline 6!
Looks like you are going to be busy - enjoy!

And it begins. . . Big thanks to Joey at Wit's End for taking his time yesterday and for providing the unobtainium oil pump bushing since the block was hot tanked.
It's bored 20over.

Keep up with the build thread. It's going to be fun watching your build in progress!

waiting on the oil pump bushing before I can get the engine assembled. The head has been gone through and freshened up already. Time to order more parts . . .




Out with the old. . .


In with the new. Finished the rear with Fox shocks ome850/860 and a fresh elocked rear.

Got the motor in and running. Knocking down the punch list now. Looking like about 25 more hours of labor to finish it up.

With the rear seats out did you do the fuel pump sock, etc?

Can't believe you left the old busted s/w in the picture with all that fresh dynamat.

Not yet. Trimming up the carpet tonight and gonna try and staple the old trim to the new carpet.

Can't believe you left the old busted s/w in the picture with all that fresh dynamat.

I would never!
