There's 6 of these, we should get all of them.

 

Rumour has it 3 turns a stock rig into a trophy truck

 

If there is enough interest we should all grab one and save the shipping as a group. I'd defs buy one for a future project.

 

+1

edit: may wanna go quick, can't see these things lasting

 

For whatever reason it won't let me order it. It tells me my card is invalid.

My other option is doing something like I did with my old celica

 

In the FJ world the push is to huge lettering across the whole grill. A company called DB Custom makes them for around $300. I am not a fan. I like Satoshi look but with a small TRD emblem lower right corner.

 

As far as garages go you can never have one big enough. My better half and I built a new home almost 4 years ago. A modest 1200sq ft bungalow. We were going to attach the garage but foundation was super expensive so I slabbed a 30x30 stand alone that is sort of attached via covered breezeway. I wish I had gone for another bay. Shopping for a Mini and would like to get a Kubotavat some point......need more room

 

A detached garage is the way to go anyhow. When you're doing something stinky such as gas lines, anything with gear oil, body work or what have you, you don't want that smell leaking into the house. I mean.. I'd have a gear oil air freshener for the truck if I could, but I wouldn't want my house smelling like that

 

So far it has been a gift ....Only problem I have is humidity. When I was building I told my cement guy I wanted a center drain....He said sure but it will cost about $6000 extra!!!! Holy snappin' arseholes!!!! Code for garage drains is wild. 2ftx 2ft x2ft drain reservoir.(mini settling pond) Drain has to be filtered with an oil filter of some sort also. Then the drain has to be run out so many feet from your well and house/basement drain tile....etc etc etc. All work had to be inspected through Fredericton. $6000 was a modest estimate.

There are days that I wish I had not cheaped out and just had it put in. 20/20 hindsight I guess. Shop vac and a couple other tricks keep the water on the floor to a minimum....and after all it is only during snow season....lmao...

Gutta love gov't red tape.

 

Does anyone know where I can find a 12v relay block?

 

That is crazy. A heat pump would help with humidity!

 

I run two electric shop heaters. Garage never goes below 5*C. I have thought about a heat pump. Have one in the house and that is the number and love it.

 

Decided on a set of KO2s in 31x10.5x15 yeehaw

 

Those will serve you well


Man do I ever remember my first set of 31's....1990 Toy PU. Standard cab long box with a 22RE auto. Loved that truck. LOL....Back when Deezee running boards and chrome wheels were cool mods....lol

 

Like this Blue Sea model? http://www.amazon.ca/New-BLUE-5025-...F8&qid=1453390657&sr=1-56&keywords=fuse+block

sPOD is popular too but I can't find a CAN distributor online. Jason at 4Wheel Parts in Fredericton could probably source that. I suppose Halifax must have a 4W Parts too doesn't it?

Princess Auto.....pretty cheap though

http://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/100-30a-led-micro-blade-fuse-block/A-p8479495e

 

I ended up ordering a Hella made one. The princess auto one is only fuses and I want relays as well. Trust me! PA was the first place I went

 

I have seen nice set up's with the Blue Marine and sPOD stuff. One guy had it so he had the whole block on a relay switch. He ran compressor, fridge and lights off that block. One of the most purpose built trucks I have ever seen.

 

Okay.. now I'm looking for weather proof connectors.. any ideas?

 

Happy Friday folks!

Ever hear of diesel & auto electric? They're in Burnside and have a ton of that type of stuff. Special order too.

 

After going to many places and them directing me places after offering 2 pin trailer connectors that where I ended up and I had to get a 3 pin rather than 4 pin. And I have to put it together. AND it cost me 14 bucks
