Are these Taco/FJC rims? Spacers?

I'm not sure what they are Onur....they're 17x7. No spacers. I think the FJCs are 17x7.5. That's what I wanted as that is what size I was going to purchase in the aluminum rims that will be on this truck at some point. The guy had 3 of the 17x7.5s.....but 4 of the 17x7s. So I took those. He didn't know what they came from(he had a bunch of take offs)....he said they were FJC and didn't even know there were 17x7s.

So your guess is as good as mine.

They fit really well on the truck. I'll try to get one on the back tomorrow to see how it looks.

We are installing a Blue Seas 7622 battery isolator to isolate the 2 batteries.....going to be switchable via a button on the dash.

Yet more wires being run. My tech is going to kill me if I add anything else. Pretty sure I'm done......well......maybe.

Going to put this thing in the only spot we have left.....behind the right headlight. Bracket making will occur tomorrow

Would it be possible to take a picture of the wheel stamping near the flange? Looking for this for example:

Are those 5.1" BS? I am not sure how they fit but I guess you are running 80 series axles?

Nice wheels too.

Looks like a 4.75" backspace but that was a quick measurement. Wish there was a part number on them somewhere.

We got a PILE of work done on the truck today......when most everyone and everything is on lockdown, there are far fewer distractions. Kind of nice to have work as a distraction today/this week with what we're going thru. A brief break from reality.

In any event, lots done on all aspects of the truck.

Buttoned up the mount for the Blue Seas isolator in the engine bay. We also wired in the switch inside.

While the guys were messing with their various projects, I worked on door panels. Standard speaker pod install with my go-to JBL speakers...6.5". I had already fitted everything and trimmed my door openings so these door panels just needed to be put together and installed. Technically not that simple, the doors needed some work before these went on.

Ah....I had a feeling someone would know!

 

[c2dfj45]

I had read somewhere that making panels for the larger openings of the doors was important to keep out noise...I've done it before with sound deadener but that's always kind of messy. For the largest opening, we had made light sheetmetal fillers and coated them with Spectrum. Today we closed up the other openings with deadener and then made some vapor barriers.

Lower panel installed with butyl adhesive and an existing fastener. Not 100% sure these won't vibrate but they seem super tight.

Filled in the other openings with deadener....taped the edges so none of the butyl gets all over anything which it always seems to do.

Vapor barrier on the driver's side....we use shower curtain material....easy to trace out and cut.

And if these aren't beautiful, I don't know what is....

Really cool to have power windows. Took a lot of work to get there though

Hey look @cruiserdan

No more green tape!

 

[cruiserdan]

Getting close. Looks awesome.

Those door panels are a work of art.

Word on the street is.......she's going to be fired up tomorrow. Really exciting.

Completely brand new....every. single. piece. It was therapeutic to do them today. Was able to fiddle with the stereo today too....the speakers sound incredible with all the sound deadening. Very very stoked.

4.75" is close. Appears to officially be 4.59" since the offset is +15. Of course this is going by 4Runner spec for 2010.

It is tough finding that style rim in anything less 4" BS with the 139.7X6 bolt pattern and 106 bore.

Looks like 42611-60B70 is about as close you will get so far.

What are the specs on that 42611-60B70?

Question, on where you mounted that blue sea switch, does the washer bottle fit behind it, or did you relocate?
