Drew02a 1987 Hilux Dilux Build

Good idea rob. I already have some extra D-Rings sitting around too.

Yeah, The 2x4s are treated, but the plywood isn't. I might try cutting up some cedar slats I have instead of the plywood. But we'll see how it lasts first.

Looks good enough for now. You could even use some 2x2 strips of wood and screw them to the plywood making rectangles the right size for you cooler and jerry cans ect. to sit in so that they cannot slide around, then all you need is a couple of cheap hooks and a rachet straps.

I have four plastic corner pieces that are made for strapping down coolers. They were on the old flat bed, if I can find them there yours.

I believe I saw them in the pasture from when dad drug the old bed to my house the other day, I will have to go pick them up before thay end up in a hay bail...

Trailer Light Diodes came in today. I'm wiring up the rear lights and turn signals like trailer lights to they can easily be connected to a tow vehicle.

 

[drew02a]

Finished up the Trailer light wiring today. Luckily I had a really nice aluminum housing sitting around in my electronic parts drawer, left over from a project I did a couple years ago. I decided to solder the wires to the diodes instead of using the blade connectors.

Nice, did you test them out yet?

Not completely, but the 4 pin plug has LEDs on it and they lit up like they're supposed to.

 

[AlienXtx]

Good enough..

Why is your driveway half covered in rocks?

 

[Anathollo]

Its for his gardens/mini moab.

So he can feel cool driving in and out of the garage

Neither of these is the correct answer, . We're doing some landscaping and that happens to be where the dump truck dumped our rocks. Those are the ones left over and I need to figure out what to do with them. Any takers?

 

[AlienXtx]

If you had five times that amount I could fix my driveway.

 

[Silverback]

I thought it was just for picture purposes... saves gas from having to drive down behind Costco.

 

[Anathollo]

Load it up in the dilux, find an abandoned ditch or field somewhere and dump them. Its just rocks, nature will sort it out.

 

[thekidcatcher]

Bring them to the ranch we can decorate the campsite. Take some real "offroading" pictures

This thing's got a top shift gear drive T-Case right?

Think I'm gonna trade this dude a pair of 4.56 diffs for a front shift tranny and tcase so I can steal this one out of the Dilux and use it in the 4Runner for a crawl box.

 

[thekidcatcher]

oh btw. I have a coupe semi offroad places you can try that thing out at. Some little ledges and stuff. Hell people could even try there trucks there.

Yes, it should have a top shift t-case.
