Lol I wish, but I've had a mod day they past 2 months... Still not done yet :/

 

You guys could meet here for mod day, just throwing that out there lol

 

So..... after all this alternator talk. I was wonderingwhy my volt gauge was only saying 30.1 volts when driving. So i did an alternator test with the tester at work and it said it was normal. So i hooked up my fluke meter for the drive home. Turns out, my gauge is reading 0.5 volts low. So either the tolerance of the gauge isn't that tight, or i have slight voltage drop somewhere other that the gauge. I'm relieved that my alternator is good, but I'm going to check my wires and connections.

 

I'm going to be ordering my OME lift from Wheelers tomorrow morning!!!! Super exciting week for me and my fam!!

 

Can you be more specific about your lift? I've been considering the one from the toyotech website, wonder if it's the same...

 

I'm going to be getting the NitroCharger Sport Shocks with 886 coils and the shocks for the rear with Dakar leaf springs. All hardware, u-bolts, trim packer, CB drop, and bushings for the leaf springs are included. I looked at Toytec also for this lift but they dont include the bushings, CB drop or trim packer in the kit and they sell the kit for $1200 plus all the other stuff. Wheelers has everything for $1150.

 

I was averaging 13.5 driving with my alternator bad, but would drop to 13.2-13.3 if I idled for too long. I haven't seen below 14.0 since I put the new one in.

 

I also will have 2 idler pulley's and a new grille that I need to put in. Forgot about that shit. Remembered today because I got a shipping notification from rock auto.

 

We better get started early.

 

Well, there's alot of other people running more loads than me, have been in more mud than I've been with mine, and haven't had problems for a long time *cough* gid *cough*

 

Grill and tailgate going back to shop for repaint. Looks fine on cloudy day or garage but splotchy in bright sun.

On the plus side, dude was awesome, no argument. Said he'd get it right.

And, my decals arrived today.
Matte/satin black Stark Industries to go under the reflective black flags.

 

The pulley's won't take me but 20 minutes maybe.
But let's say 8? I'll send y'all the address closer to time.

 

Haha. Well mine was absolutely filled with mud and anytime the truck is running has a 1200 watt amp pulling off of her, plus a variety of other shit every once in a while.

 

I had to Google Stark Industires

 

You're not alone

 

what the hell? Have the 2 of you been living in a vacuum?

Ya it's pretty sweet in here.

I never was really in to those type of movies or comics in general.

I figured it was something truck related. I think @Robertocritser has the same sticker.

 

Nope, that's Everett.
