2006 FX4 Daily / Offroad Build

Was able to get some work done over the weekend since the weather finally wasn't has hot with the storm passing through. Got all the interior swapped expect for the dash because I wasn't ready to take it on and the passenger door panel since i didn't get it from the junkyard.

Didn't end up doing insulation and sound deadening but that is cause my dad came into town and wanted to help out but also cause i didn't order it from Amazon Also my dad isn't into modifying vehicles and when i explained what and why i wanted it, he said i didn't need it and was making it more difficult then i needed to . Probably has a point though lol

Anyway I'll follow up with some pictures tomorrow after its cleaned up.

Sometimes making a mod and or a repair of your own does a whole lot for your own personal "street cred", haha I said street cred. Job done right.

Well I wanted to get some more stuff done but it is currently on hold, my wife's car was parked and got backed into by an electrician on a hit and run, ended up denting the quarter panel, bumper and liftgate. Luckily some one saw it happened and we were able to track down the driver. Because it was an 08 Lexus RX350, it would have been totaled if we went through insurance so we opted for a cash deal.

I checked to see what was in the junkyard inventory and I guess again this is a lucky junkyard lol but it had the same model in the same color sitting in the yard. Ended up getting everything expect for the quarter panel since it is welded and the entire length of the SUV and walked out for only $300. Just will have to get the quarter panel repaired and painted along with the bumper and will be good as new!

"Lucky junkyard"? Sounds like a bar outside of Tehachapi...(over the hill from Bakersfield). Glad that you found that stuff, must of made the wife & the Lexus very happy! Just need to purchase some new tools. Now get busy........ Don't forget about the wax job.
