What are your summer 2012 truck plans?

Weathertech floor liners for sure dude! Speaking of you other guys I need to change my spark plugs, change my rear dif oil (i dont think I put enough in last time. May have damaged the diff lock? ) change all oil actually

 

Going to get a 2.5" lift and possibly a locker. I'm looking at the Powertrax No-Slip. I've decided I need the lift first though since ground clearance is my biggest downfall with this long wheelbase.

I'm also looking into getting a front-view camera. When the new 2012 Raptor came out I thought it was stupid/gimmicky to have a forward facing camera. But since my most recent offroading adventure I think it would be HUGELY beneficial. There is a TON of times where I want to see what's immediately in front of me. Hill climbs/decents and crawling all require a good view or a spotter. I think it would be nice to have a camera for that type of stuff. I'm looking at this one. Simple, cheap, does the job!

Same here.

Other than that, no real plans. Try to avoid buying anymore for it lol. My Homer Satoshi is in production now hopefully that's the last money I spend on mods for a while. Kind of out of things I really want to do.

 

westin bull bar with walmart fogs.

maybe some side steps also.

 

Yeah I don't want to spend much either but I REALLY hate the front bumper. Its a POS I don't know why Toyota wasted money on it. Im so unconfident if my truck gets in a wreck I'd like to have some protection up front. I was looking at trailgear, CBIoffroad, ect. bumpers but I'm really digging the Badlands Bash. Looks heavy duty. That and tires are my only real big money moochers. I want to do a lot of cheap mods and fix up the problems with my truck mostly.

 

install front LT kit...also hopefully figure out a way into making a full size rear slider window like in the tundra/4runner/Sequoia

 

DUDE speaking of windows I thought it would be awesome to somehow get the back little side windows (on my extended cab) to be able to roll down. It seems like it would be a lot of work but I know my puppy would love it!

 

i think i'll actually make a list. so I have a plan lol

To do list:
Change Engine, Transmission and Diff Oil
Clean Throttle Body
Change Spark Plugs
Replace Brake Rotors
Replace Brake Pads
Replace Brake Lines w/ SS lines
Bleed Brakes
Adjust Proportioning Valve
Replace Drum Shoes
Replace Drums
Replace Sway bar bushings
Replace Tie Rod bushings
Replace Fuel Filter
Rotate Tires

lots of fun! rofl

Parts to Locate and Aquire:
Center Console
OEM Toyota 6-Lug 4-Leaf Pack
OEM Toyota Headlights

 

Ya that would be really cool to see happen

 

1. Upgrading wheels to Rock Warriors w/ BFG tires. (They are on their way!)
2. Paint the Beadlock Rings to Glossy Black
3. Black out badges
4. Back up camera
5. Extra D Rings in the Bed

 

sport grill, eyelids, redo driver side BHLM (little uh oh in there) deaden the interior, clean up and straighten out my wiring, redo mid and tweet MDF baffles, possibly alpine imprint.

but mainly and most important, clean the hell out of it and keep it that way. She's disgusting and i can almost hear her crying

It is going to be damned exhausting to get this all done by the end of summer, but I think I can pull it off.

 

I think I did alright with my summer plans!

Take off 3in body lift (any one wanna buy it?) (thank god thats off!)
Put on air conditioning belt
New offroad front and rear bumper
winch and recovery gear
power steering fix
New tires (hopefully BFG MT 33x9.5x15) (Ended up getting 235/85/R16 Goodyear Duratracs so pretty close right? )
New steelies (The Duratracs are going to be on these)
New tail lights
Get my camper dome light to turn on whenever i need it, and get the brake light hooked up
New sub (hopefully in a custom box to fit in the bigger cubby hole in my ext. cab)
Rubber floors (Vinyl flooring)
New center console (00-04 version?)
Cargo Rack
Darker tint
Fix rusted spot from my bed hitting the cab denting it and repaint it
New LED dash lights (stock ones are ugly as hell)
Get the headlights to look new again (really oxygenized is the correct word I think) (ended up getting new housings and retrofitted projectors)
Turn signal mod


I'm in college now so the chances of the rest of these done is slim to none. Cheap ones I'll probably do when I have time.
