Project WAF

If you don't know what WAF is (or HAF/SAF depending on gender and persuasion), you're not married. Wikipedia, I choose you!

Yes, Project WAF is all about doing what I can while keeping the wife happy. Happy Wife, Happy Life. Or something like that. It's our only vehicle, so it must remain reliable (it's a Toyota...). Translated: no lifts/significant engine mods/audio work. Doesn't mean I can't have fun though...

Edit: So there's no way to do strikethrough with this editor. I'm about to be not married anymore (woooo!) so "WAF" now stands for "Wallet Acceptance Factor".

Here's Kona testing it out:

Been a while, but I finally have something new to post. I'm at about 32k miles, and KBB still says my truck is worth more than I actually paid so either I got a slammin deal or KBB is smoking crack. Anywho, onto the mod. Got a Smittybilt (NFab, right?) light bar for early birthday!

Future plans
* note: list is in no way ordered by priority, desire, or suspected WAF.

• Since I only have rear-wheel drive, I would like to get a winch at some point. I don't want to get a full cow-catcher. I like the look of the Undercover Hidden Winch Mount, but the price might drive it out of possible WAF range.
• Lights for said light bar, of course. Duh.
• Paint the steelies black. I'm not a big wheel whore, I just want something that looks good. Steelies - meh. Black steelies?
• Hood struts
• Underhood & bed lighting
• Swap the audio-only jack next to the 12V outlets to the USB/audio panel that my dad's Tundra has

More to come as I think of them/read more of the fine forums.

 

Truck looks good man!

First post in 4 Months. lol

 

Got the Smittybilt light bar! Pics above. The install went pretty smooth, but I'm concerned that the nuts that secures the bar to the brackets will back out. I may swing through the hardware store and get lock nuts, but those will be a bitch to turn without pulling off the bumper cover, and I really don't want to tackle that. Now to get lights for it...

I'm looking at getting a set of KC Daylighters (driving pattern) for the outside mounting points and a pair of Hella 500s with HID conversion for the inside points. Switches to come from OTRATTW. My wallet is not very accepting of this plan...
