XRunner Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 So in keeping with the fucking ridiculous timeline I am currently working at.... Wire is coming in tomorrow, have the sound deadening supplies. Still waiting on router bits, wiring, subs, SHCA connects, volt meter, DD-1/CC-1. Essentially the weather fucked me. But whatever more time to do donuts in the snow. I should get the go pro out next time.... Sounds very similar to what I'm dealing with..Parts and weather....Anyhow, nice ride and nice equipment. Tuned in to see it finished! 2005 Toyota Tacoma XRunner Build log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/204530-05-tacoma-xrunner-build-sundown-singer-xs-power/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aculous Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 EDIT: So its normal to find .223 rounds in your car right? The 2 hour sound deadening job has turned into the 5 hour nightmare...that is not done and now I need a lot of acetone and my shop vac to actually work.... So all the bolts were rusted to shit and seized up. Each bolt was a different size and style, some star some hex. And some with blue locktite....sheared two of them off and one rounded off... Motherfuck whoever put this thing together. Or the 50 people as it looks like. And thats right same shit on the other side....although they were all hex...15mm/13mm/5/16th/3/4 what the hell is wrong with people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aculous Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 And apparently the amazing people that worked on this car already did the sound deadening for me...problem solved. So after finding about two or three cans or dried coke on the bottom of the car with jelly beans, fired brass and dead bugs. I am going to have to fucking sanitize this bitch before I can put ANY sound deadening on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aculous Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 so I found out why my car is so loud rolling down the road. I am guessing that the 2 inch drain plugs are standard on the police edition....no idea... Anyway going to try and find a way to take care of them. I have a rust bubble on the tailgate that is making the metal seam seperate a little bit so I may just go to a body shop and see if I then can fix the tailgate and weld up the 10 drain plugs...thats right...10 with metal and I'll use POR15 or something on it. which leads me to the next thing...loooots of surface rust on the drivers side...the underneath of the car looks like it came off the showroom floor...meanwhile inside it looks like a model t thats been sitting in a field since 1920. Going to wire wheel it tomorrow night and put some POR15 over it before I start deadening the car.... was at work for on a "comp day" that my boss told me to take because he said I was working to many hours...was called in to take care of "something quick" ended up being a full day. Drove there with a passenger side seat that wasn't bolted in and no seat belts in a totally stripped car....maybe after this weekend I will actually get to work on the audio....

aculous Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Well finally got some more parts, changed up the build a bit: So far: DB3 MLV Jute padding with some thermal goodness (2)American Bass XD844s http://www.americanbassusa.com/product.detail/product_id/126 Alpine 9887 (enroute) Sky High copper lugs and toolmaker connects hydro crimper Knukonceptz 1/0 kit and 4 guage kit voltage guage and today! figured out how to do my beyma 8"s. I was worried about putting them in the door since they weigh so much. (I recently had to help a buddy weld his S10 door hinges and its a bitch, don't feel like going through that with my dodge) So I decided to go with kickpods since I have so much room up front. But I was worried about my $170 drivers (more then my subs mind you) getting damaged. They are coated fiber/carbon composite cones so they have some durability to them but I didn't want someone kicking my speakers. (girlfriend in heels...) SO! looked at speaker grills and apparently boats guys like billet Or aluminum which is awesome for me. So I picked up some grills. http://store.earmarkcaraudio.com/Xcart/product.php?productid=16141&cat=254&page=1 Should stand up to a lot of abuse and I have speaker cloth and some mesh grill just in case to cover them up since I am not going to leave them bare. More to come. Been bitterly cold but I think I am going to start on the sub enclosure tonight. I am build a dual 8" Bill Fitzmaurice autotuba. Should be interesting. (Thanks Tritcum Ag for the help again sir!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aculous Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 MLV and jute down. Took forever but should be a lot quieter. Got some ideas for the center console since I found it it didn't fit. Guess I am going to learn how to fab some aluminum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
