Re: Project "Old Yeller"
You need to post some updates. I know you haven't gone a month without doing something to the truck.

![]() ![]() I have been spending the last month or so playing and working on my new toy (08 long travel teryx). I scored it for a smoking deal and sold my 4 seat rhino so I could upgrade. I spent a solid weekend over at a friends house cutting off the back bars and making it into a 3 seater so my son wouldn't miss the fun. Then we went out and actually used the toys....

I actually took her out of the garage last week and gave her a bath. I was gonna drive her over to Brothers for some parts but it started to rain. I will admit that I recently replaced the window cranks as the other knobs were very wobbly. The truck also came with miss matching upper door trim. I had sharpie here on the board find me a nice matching chrome peice that would match the drivers door......just threw that on as well Then I decided to give my bezel some love. I purchased a new bezel prior to the northern california show but I couldn't get the headlight switch offf and I ran out of time. I dropped the colum and gained about 1.5" of belly room by collapsing it into the crush sleve. I then replaced the bezel,lights and bezel screws. While I was at brothers I ordered the deluxe light/wiper knob but they weren't in stock. I also got new deluxe pedals and the stainless trim that I need to install. Next project is sound deadning (I have a 100 sq ft of fat mat) and perhaps a sub box under the seat. I will take some pics and throw them up when I have a chance.

She is a good solid truck and alot of fun. I will keep improving the trucks weak links in hopes of one day having the scratch for a complete tear down. I am pretty sure I am going to add an amp and low profile under seat sub when I strip the interior for the sound deadning. Whats a couple hundred and a weekend on the table saw for a little better sq. I also want to replace the cab rubbers with the push on style so I can reuse them after paint.

Re: Project "Old Yeller"
Love the Kawi Tyrex. I work at a Kawasaki dealership some weekends for fun. We have built some cool machines but yours is super clean. I love the paint job. How would it be to jump in the truck and drive to Brothers for parts? It is better that I don't live close because I would not have any money left. Keep up the progress. Did you see my new ECE drop kit and wheels?

Re: Project "Old Yeller"
OK....made a little headway on the interior.
If you go back to my first post the biggest complaint I had about the truck was the interior truck noise. I put 2K miles on the truck over the last 12 months and have made a few long distance trips and each time my ears bleed after 3+ hours. I did some research and settled on Rattle Trap by Fat Mat. I purchased 100 sq ft from amazon. I stripped out the interior of the truck with the help of Johnoro here on the boards. With his help I got about 10 minutes worth of work done in about 8 hours....haha ![]() ![]() ![]() He wanted to drink and hang out in the backyard with the girls sun bathing instead of getting greassy working on a 40 y/o truck ![]() The truck just had carpeting and a super thin peice of foam under the feet area. I applied 2 layers as far up the fire wall as I could go and I also covered the gas tank. I have about 40 sq ft left over and will do the back wall when I remove the gas tank for the full tear down in a couple years. I then went to Home Depot and got a 9x6 sheet of carpet insulation and layed that down before I reinstalled the carpet. The truck is now a ton quieter....You actually only hear motor and exhaust from the outside of the truck now and the echo is gone.

Re: Project "Old Yeller"

Re: Project "Old Yeller"
Oh yeah.... I ditched the crappy glue on door rubbers that the PO installed (glue everywhere that will be impossible to get off
![]() ![]() Install was a breeze and they look/work great and are reusable for when I strip the truck..... I also got the next project shipped from Summit and hope to get the Truck in to Magnaflow for a full exhaust system.

Re: Project "Old Yeller"
headers and full exhaust....
I was thinking of doing a under seat sum/amp rack but upon inspection the spring set up really would prevent that under the seat. ![]() Perhaps a beefier front sway bar... After the exhaust I will start saving for AFR heads and a new cam so I can get 300hp+ to the wheels. ![]() ![]()

Love the video!
How did you mount the camera for such stable shots?
