    I hope so. Just no word when they will be done, was hoping to have them done before the lift. But if it isn't, not a huge deal.

    The sliders he built for his Taco are pretty sweet. So I have high hopes for the sliders. If the sliders end up being good I am going to see how much for him to build a bumper.

    Ah, I see.
    I think I'm going to give the cleaning another go, just using a contact cleaner and make sure to bag alllll that electrical crap up. I read that taking the battery out can help as well. My spring break is next week so I'll be in VB the whole time and try and get it done then.

    No wonder you're installing those coilovers next week. I wish the military had spring break.

    I don't work on that Monday or Thursday so I'm trying to find little projects to get done. Might try and add a 12 Circuit Fuse Block with some circuit breakers to help clean everything up. Not sure if I'll have the money laying around till after break though

    I'll probably wait until after spring break just because the deposit for the skids was just due and they should be ready in a month. Should probably play it safe there and make sure I can cover those before going out and blowing more money when it can wait.
    With that being said, I'd still like to get it done by this summer so if you're free one weekend and want to try and do both of ours together, let me know. No immediate rush since I'm only running one set of LEDs right now but I'm thinking that'll chance as summer goes on and I get some of those Rigid fogs and back up lights. That and I'll be due for a new battery so I'd like to knock it all out at once.

    ...I kind of want a snorkel now that you mentioned it too...

    And could actually probably use one but I really don't do many crossings at all

    I'm trying my best to prioritize my mods and I want a chunk of it done by summer. Gotta snag those sliders as well. I should have snagged those skids when I could but oh well...coilovers first.

    Do eet, do eet now.
    Want to try and get a group of guys to do Mod days some time this summer and get some projects done.

    And me.
    Even the Safari Snorkel for Tacomas doesn't hug the flare perfectly and even that bothers me.
