Possible DIY rescource??

[DaveZ Member Find all posts View Profile Close DaveZ]

Apologies if this already exists somewhere on the site and I've over looked it. I was wondering if each section, 150/120/90, could have a few sticky threads up top that contain links to some of the DIY threads that are scattered through out the forum. There are some very handy DIY guides here, but usually hidden in build threads and the like. Just simple stuff, like how to pull the dash or centre console out of your brand new Prado, how to wire up your spotlights, stuff like that. Perhaps a thread where people could post up handy reference posts as they find them and then a super awesome helpful mod could place the worthy ones in a sticky??

Just a thought, would make stuff a lot easier to find I think.

Cheers,
Dave.

I hear you Dave. In my past I have posted a few DIY's.

I will try and post some as I build my 150.

Just thought it would be handy to have a sticky post with links to various DIY projects, there are some really good builds hidden away on this site, it would be good for members to be able to easily access these. I know you can search for stuff, but that can be time consuming, I've spent most of the morning finding information on how to pull my dash apart and how to wire my spotlights up. Yes, I've found all I need to know, but there could be other great tips that I didn't come across and I could have found it faster with a good index to projects.

I've been a moderator on another forum for quite a while, so I know ideas like this take up valuable time that volunteers give to keep sites like this running, so understand if things don't happen quickly, was just throwing the idea out there to see if others would like to see something like this.

this thread http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread...p-Members-Rigs has a lot of useful links, mostly 120 series oriented I think; and it is a sticky in the general discussion section. I do think that some of the links are no longer working and it could do with a bit of work on it.

lc_120man who set uo the thread was never a moderator as far a I Know, so I guess anyone could set up a thread with heaps of useful links, then just a matter of getting it made a sticky.

A bit off topic I know, but I also reckon that the moderator crew could do with a freshen up, some of them are now almost non-existant on the forum!

Cheers Andrew

How did I miss that one.... That's pretty much what I had envisaged Andrew, maybe split into model specific areas with more of an emphasis on how to do a particular job on that model rather than product reviews. Sometimes it's a simple little instruction we are looking for, like how a piece of trim is attached, so we don't break it, that can take hours to find. Maybe that thread just needs a bit of a re-jig and a major update...

As far as non-existant mods, it happens to the best of forums hey, it's easy for all the work to be left to a few, which is what happens the majority of the time, and the few end up feeling burned out and don't visit as often as they should.

Cheers,
Dave.

this thread http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread...p-Members-Rigs has a lot of useful links, mostly 120 series oriented I think; and it is a sticky in the general discussion section. I do think that some of the links are no longer working and it could do with a bit of work on it.

I did start updating the links to correct some of them a while back, however, it seemed to be counter productive - as every save destroyed more and more of the older links, causing it to go from a few broken ones to lots of broken ones... Will get back to it in due time and do what i can.
