LMAO the ending i swear as a mechanic we need 10 to 12 times more 10mm sockets than other tool just on the fact they seem to grow legs and run away from us hahah.
Hey man my 86 Toyota is in ok shape but my vents are brittle and smashed to heck is there anyway of getting brand new vents or just the inner frills even if it means the odd side vent doesn't have any new parts Im willing to replace the rest it's just not worth it to keep the broken vents around
Someone was just telling me that the Toyota dealer is selling them again. Might want to give them a call. Otherwise, it's what you can find on the used market, ebay.
Thanks for the video gonna removed fill the cracks with expanding foam. Sand and sand and sand then wrap it all in real Blue carbon fiber my interior is blue
YotaArtzTV keep it moist with baby oil once a year and cover it from the sun if you park outdoors and it should stay looking like new. Nice ones are getting hard to find.
Thanks! I recently restored a Yota dash using spray foam, brush on glue and 4-way stretch vinyl and the results were pretty good: th-cam.com/video/XB9GKLRHYNM/w-d-xo.html
You can't buy them new, only the plastic covers that go over the oem cracked dash. Here's a link to my store of used OEM parts, but I don't have any dashes at this time: 6thgeargarage.net/yota/
Mine looks exactly the same. same brown. Same cracks in th same places. I really hate removing the drivers side though because of extras i have installed.. I was just going to see where the best place to drill a hole was and now i see it has metal everywhere. the only reason to finish removing it now is to see if anything has died back there. 😅... Which i suppose means i should do it.. Dammit. Rat poison in the dash should come stock lol.
@Benjamin Miller I agree... the plastic caps are way overpriced for what they are. I do have a cracked dash that I saved to experiment with a vinyl wrap. I've never attempted anything like that before, but with the right adhesive and vinyl, I think I'd try it and make a video. The main area of concern for me is the inset area on the top of the dash. If it were flat, I wouldn't see any problem, but because of the way it's shaped, I can see the vinyl not laying down well over that area. I'd use vinyl over cloth because I don't know how cloth will hold up to UV rays and also the vinyl will be easier to clean.
JimsEquipmentShed my theory is mouse piss. They didn't pee on the nut itself, but nearby, creating moisture. Corrosive moisture. I've had other trucks where they peed everywhere in the dash and the screws were so rusty that a Philips screwdriver wouldn't fit in the head - had to drill them out. They seem to love these dashboards!
6th Gear Garage Yup, that makes sense. I’ve had a few like that as well. I had to swap the dashes on my Toyota one ton dump. The dash in my parts automatic went into my five speed unit, so I ended up with an ect switch that I wired up so it would light. ;-) Kinda funny.
JESUS...That's a lot of work for a cosmetic upgrade...It's like putting lipstick on Nancy Pelosi... I'll just stick with the cracks...Gives my YOTA character... *SURVIVOR*
The best "how-to videos" show all the mistakes and problems involved ....Thanks.
Thanks for the good information. I’m restoring a 1984, so feel free to do a video on a complete dash removal. 👍🏼
I will do that!
Glad you made this. i had a feeling the last bolt was behind the right vent but its great to actually see it.
Toyota made so many things easy to work on, except that bolt!
whew! back to getting to it, going for a carb compliant 84 rte, your videos are much easier than forums!
hows that going for you?
@@brianrae1624 just trying to locate a digital cluster fuel sender, its turned into quite a project. im @voodicus on instagram.
Appreciate the vid, about to pull my dash pad to put inclinometers in it and this helped a bunch

The 10mm crisis is no joke!
So true.
@@6thGearGarage you have same dash board hilux 1988? I want same
If anyone finds one of these in a junkyard grab the Quartz clock. They are very reliable And ridiculously expensive if you can even find them
I remember back in the day when they were cheap!
Quality video dude
Can you do the rest of the dash assembly?
Hey man my 86 Toyota is in ok shape but my vents are brittle and smashed to heck is there anyway of getting brand new vents or just the inner frills even if it means the odd side vent doesn't have any new parts Im willing to replace the rest it's just not worth it to keep the broken vents around
Unfortunately, the only place to get them is on ebay in used condition.
@@6thGearGarage man that sucks
Any plans to fix the cracked dash or are you simply going to replace it?
Everyday Outdoor I'd like to try to re-wrap it in new vinyl.
Subbed. Great stuff man. Keep the toyota stuff coming.
Is there a way to put a 90s dash and cluster on an 88 pickup?
@@weesbeast2270 no, they’re completely different connections
Who sells replacement dash components for 1983 Toyota pickups?
Any recommendations?
Someone was just telling me that the Toyota dealer is selling them again. Might want to give them a call. Otherwise, it's what you can find on the used market, ebay.
You should do a video on putting in a new vinyl floor in a old toyota
Dude, just purchased a '86 4runner, gotta lot of work to do on it! Anyways, more importantly, did you find that 10mm socket???
Haha yes I did! It was deep in the dash, behind the HVAC tubing.
Thanks for the video gonna removed fill the cracks with expanding foam. Sand and sand and sand then wrap it all in real Blue carbon fiber my interior is blue
I recently did that but with vinyl... a lot of work but worth it: th-cam.com/video/XB9GKLRHYNM/w-d-xo.html
I'm about to pull my dash and replace it with a spare that's perfect condition
YotaArtzTV keep it moist with baby oil once a year and cover it from the sun if you park outdoors and it should stay looking like new. Nice ones are getting hard to find.
Where are you guys finding these interior parts
@@gufiaito69able I have spare trucks lol
@@yotaartztv5580 well I need 1988 1st Gen 4runner door covers and plastics do you have any?
That did help thank u I’m gona remove mine . Try and fix this dash pad looks like Freddy Kruger got to it

Where can I buy the dash I need everything
You can't buy them new, only the plastic covers that go over the oem cracked dash. Here's a link to my store of used OEM parts, but I don't have any dashes at this time: 6thgeargarage.net/yota/
Where can I get the quartz clock?
I don’t have any for sale, but they’re on ebay often.
How you fixed the dahs ???
I haven't fixed it yet. I'm researching different products & methods.
@@6thGearGarage your videos are awesome!!! You ever fix the dash ? If so what you end up doing I’m trying to do the same . Thank you
@@artiegarciajr6198 I have not fixed it yet. I have a stack of cracked dashes, I should start experimenting this winter.
Awesome
Exactly helpful, thx
Thank you. this is super helpful.
It is possible to repair the dashboards. I think there is also a company in LA that restores dashboards to new
Good to know... I have a few that are cracked. I'd like to try to recover them myself sometime.
I have an 84 that looks as bad as the one in the video. If you have any information on the company that repairs them please share.
Dónde se puede comprar ese tablero? y su valor?
I would remove mine if there was a way to replace or repair it ?
I want to try to do a dash repair video one day.
Thanks for sharing!!
Gracias
I need to know how to remove a 1981 Toyota dash pad it different then the video
you had a 10mm socket that lived for that long? usually they die within the first few years of birth at most lol

I've seen plenty of nests back there! While it's out you may want to consider refinishing it: th-cam.com/video/XB9GKLRHYNM/w-d-xo.html
I hate to tell you but that last screw you pulled out was on the left not right
DOH!
When is Wellsville meet ????
jefffowlerr I haven't been down there in a couple years. I need to do some work on my truck before I go back down.
Where do you get a replacement pad
Nobody makes a full replacement, just a vinyl plastic cap that glues on top of the old dashboard. Those are around $100 on ebay/amazon.
@Benjamin Miller I agree... the plastic caps are way overpriced for what they are. I do have a cracked dash that I saved to experiment with a vinyl wrap. I've never attempted anything like that before, but with the right adhesive and vinyl, I think I'd try it and make a video. The main area of concern for me is the inset area on the top of the dash.

I'd use vinyl over cloth because I don't know how cloth will hold up to UV rays and also the vinyl will be easier to clean.
@Benjamin Miller I suppose that inset area could be filled in for a smooth top panel- just wouldn't work on models with the Altimeter/clinometer.
@Ben Miller I have heard you can fill cracks w epoxy , sand flush and then paint with a thick vinyl paint and add texture.
awesome!
I wonder why the top one snapped, moisture compromise it?
RIP 10mm, we knew him well......
JimsEquipmentShed my theory is mouse piss. They didn't pee on the nut itself, but nearby, creating moisture. Corrosive moisture.

Anyone making a new day for these 1980 trucks? I need to by a tan one for my 1987 =( , thanks for the video
They only make the plastic covers that glue over the original cracked dash. I've sen them on ebay.
JESUS...That's a lot of work for a cosmetic upgrade...It's like putting lipstick on Nancy Pelosi...
I'll just stick with the cracks...Gives my YOTA character...
