Can you tell me which shop you used, Miguel?

 

I went to doctor wheels in south yarmouth, Ma. Its kind of far down the cape. Im from near boston and took about 1 hour and 40 mins but its deff a place to check out and i just saw you from the cape lol so no worries for you. They found my problem in no time and they rates are cheap. They do everything from stock to lifted stuff and they know there doing. I would go again.. I was hoping to get a alignment there but they don t have the machine so but good shop.

 

Thanks. I know where they are on White's Path, near Rt. 6, exit 8. Glad they found your problem.

 

Rob, if you want to try the CB Drop kit, I have one laying around that I never installed and don't plan to. Toytec charges almost as much for shipping as they do for the part. It's only a $5 part, if you're interested, let me know and it's all yours.

 

Hey guys, anyone free this Saturday around 1 or 2. I wanna get some hella lights to put behind my new grill and install them and thought if anyone had to wire so meting we could do it together and help out. I know a couple of you guys had lights behind there. How did you mount them? Thinking I might have to go to home depot and get some brackets maybe. Thanks guys.

 

I don't have any shims. I plan to make some measurements at some point. Just need to find time (maybe this weekend).

 

My PIAAs came with the harness and everything. They were extremely easy to wire up. There is a guy on here who makes brackets for installing lights behind the grill.

 

Yeah. The Hellas come with everything too. Wires and relays. I've seen that bracket light bar thing but it's a lot . I think like 100 or so. Way to much in my opinion . Gonna see if I can find some thing at homedepot.

 

You could probably cobb together a bracket with unistrut.

 

Did you use all the PIAA connections and hardware? I cut the quick connect ends off everything and soldered and heat shrunk everything. I didn't trust those quick connectors to hold up over time. You got any corrosion at the connectors?

 

Yeah. I'm gonna look today and see if I can fab something up. Should look good when done

 

I used the quick connectors on the light end but used a factory switch inside the truck. I taped the connectors to keep water out and they looked good when i put on the allpro bumper.

 

I did the same thing! I've got them wired to a factory switch and also so they'll only come on with the high beams (I've got driving lights). The quick connectors probably would have been fine but I just cut them all off and hard wired them in. They aren't goin anywhere!

 

If anyone out there wants to get together to work on their trucks, I would be happy to host a meeting at my house in Sturbridge MA. You know...share knowledge, get stuff done, eat good food, drink cold beverages, etc.

If anyone needs it, I have a two car garage with plenty of headroom space, a basic set of metric tools, a medium duty air compressor, a cheapo set of air tools, a quality torque wrench, a floor jack, and 4 jack stands.

Most importantly, I have both a gas and charcoal grill. Let me know if anyone wants to get together.

 

Sub'd

Sounds good to me! Early Spring and Summer are very busy as with all but if you have something going in this Fall I shall hook up for sure!

Got all 4 Billies.......add a leaf......saving for tires/rims at the moment...

Props tho for the offering........good man!

If anyones's interested or in need i have the stock exhaust from my Dbl Cab Offroad - willing to pay it forward to anyone local - free

 

I would be down for a meet, I am going to pick up a set of Billies that I want to put on.

Also, I have a sub box made for 2 12" pioneer shallow subs if anyone wants it. It fits behind the seat of a 2nd generation double cab.

 

How does the grill look after painting it?

 

There so go lol. I think it looks amazing. Macco did a great job and only cost 100 to paint,
