2012 Toyota 4Runner SQ+ build


Recommended Posts

First off, results from my first triple points MECA show. :D

Time to start cleaning things up to gain some install points.

I replaced the phillip's screws holding the alarm siren with security screws.

Next I cleaned up my barrier strip area. I think it looks a lot cleaner with the heat shrink tubing. I still intend to replace the phillips screws with security screws.

I also added some sound absorbing blocks behind the door speakers to absorb some back waves.

It's not much of an update but a buddy made fun of me for having exposed wires coming out of the siren. I wrapped them in techflex and heat shrink. Problem solved. :D

Today I worked on a few more little details. After all, it's all in the details...

First off, I got rid of the phillips head screws holding the barrier strips. I used threaded brass inserts and security torx screws.

Inserts...

Torx screws...

Next I put a little velcro between the two speaker cover panels. This tightens it up a hair but more importantly it blocks the light from showing up between the panels.

Before.

Now. I'll get a better picture with the lights on later.

Last but not lease I made a little demostration board to show most of the wiring I used as well as hardware that I've used.

Thank you.

Today I went through MECA judges training and learned quite a bit. I'm looking forward to using the newfound knowledge towards tuning my car. :D

They are not allowed in Stock, but fair game in Street.
