NC15TRD's Build

Solid point. Fuckers spending my money! Guess I'll start planning on a Prinsu around tax time!

 

Changed the oil and rotated the tires last night. 2475 miles. Figured I'd get the break in stuff out of there. Used Napa 1348 filter and Wolf's Head 5W-30 as I did the entire ownership of the last truck.

On that subject, I have Toyota Care. It's 25 miles to the nearest dealer. At 50 mile round trip is about 3 gallons of gas and at 2.90 per gallon, about 9 bucks. I only got charged 16.40 since I do my own oil changes at the garage I used to work at and I bought the stuff from them, and I didn't have to spend 2 hours+ going to have some hack mechanic do the work.

Gotta love living in a small town, having incredible friendships with people, and supporting local businesses!

 

I'm trying to bring VA gas prices back to PA with me but its not going well.

 

Lol I buy mine at the same place I do the work on my truck. They charge about 10 cents more per gallon, but I seem to get better mileage from it. Could be in my head, but for how much they hook me up with garage use, I wouldn't complain if it was a quarter per gallon more!

 

Mount some TREDs on it and maybe a rotopax can and you'll be using the roof rack everyday!

 

Nick are you gonna do a blue sea fuse panel with all your switches? If so I've got some leftover 4 gauge wire and stuff for that and the switches.

 

I'm sure once I have it I'll put stuff on it all the time haha

Don't know what I'm going to do yet. Think I'm gonna go like Chux did and put the switches in the original blank space in the switch holder because the Iggy panel won't fit the manual. But I'm going to put the 6 switch holder there and relocate the other plugs into the back of the recessed area I think.

Can't wait to see the Prinsu!

 

Got into the christmas spirit a bit



They've been there for 15 hours and I've already been harassed about it twice lol

 

Let me guess... Couldn't make down Mainstreet Clarion without the town boy's lighting up the red white and blue behind you??

 

was in town all night Saturday but didn't have them in yet! Production manager gave me a good ribbing over it haha

 

you should do one of those fuse/relay blocks that sky gear is making.

I have one (not from him but same thing) 6 fused circuits and 6 relayed circuits. its pretty much all you'll ever need. its way more convenient (and weatherproof) than a blue sea and then you don't have relays zip tied under the hood getting corroded and shit...

 

Got a link to this magical product? Sounds like what I want. I really like the panels skygear is making

 

Called bussman. Or you can get SPOD

edit: skygear is using the bussmann boxes http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/audio-video/334877-rfrm-bussman-fuse-box-relays-spod-ha.html

yea that ^

there was a member over on pirate or mud that was selling them a few years ago. idk what sky gear is getting price wise, but i paid way less than an spod. and i'd rather supply my own switches anyway. plus i have 6 regular fused circuits too where an spod just has relayed circuits IIRC

 

Yeah meng! In my sig too! This one though http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/bu...m-10-relay-rtmr-5-relay-no-blue-sea-spod.html

If you want me to build it, I sell everything. Or if you want to buy the stuff yourself, and ship to me. I charge a flat rate of $50 to terminate everything, then the shipping back to you.

Come to me, I'll install all the electronics for free to! Just get them all in one spot so we can organize things in order of needing installation.

 

Happy Birthday!

 

Thank ya sir!
