    For putting holes in carpet, use a cheap pencil soldering iron. Pokes the hole and seals the carpet strands so it won't fray. 🙂

    • @randywl8925
      @randywl8925 8 месяцев назад +3

      You can use a propane torch and a piece of brass or copper tubing also. Hold the tubing with vice grips. Use painters tape to get the location correct and the hot tubing will become the perfect cookie cutter. Mark once, poke once. Perfecto.
      Hot tubing melts stuff instantly, so protect anything you plan on enjoying.

    I can not wait to hear and see that thing rip. I have a 2005 GX470, so I know all about the 2UZ-FE. I want to see if forged internals and beefier rods make for reliable performance mods foundations. In stock form, the 2UZ-FE is a low rev torque engine. I always thought that well thought out mods could turn into a 285 cubic inch BEAST. Very few people modify these engines for out of stock performance specs.

This is the first time I think i have seen somthing done sub optimally, and I both don't want to cast shade and freely admit I could be wrong, but flipping that bracket around for the seat mount will let the seat sag. It's not braced in the right direction. Kind of like when they fix a saggy gate, one way the brace works, the other way let's it sag anyway. Might not be a big deal for the weight that seat will have to hold though.

    The interior is looking great. Getting to work on interesting projects like this were the highlights of the years I worked in auto upholstery.
    If you plan on using the rear floor, either for passenger feet or personal items, I recommend softening the top surface of the reinforcement rails, as the edges of the square tubing will become wear lines on the carpet. You could potentially flank them with pieces of 2" XPS foam insulation board with radiused outer edges, so instead of a 2"(?) wide ridges with radii of a few mm, you would have 6" wide ridges with up to 2" radii, distributing the friction zone over a much wider area.
