Installed a Pelfreybilt hidden winch last night on a brand new Tacoma TRD Pro.
Doing an SDHQ hidden winch today.
(And yes I fixed that little buckle in the lower grill due to the solenoid being too close!)

 

Power washer taken the compressor is still up for grabs

 

OK, thats fine, Ill take it from you. Im building a shop and additions on my new property so Ill need a portable one for lots of shit, my buddy gave me one last week but its missing parts like a tweeker tried to fix it, lol.
Im in buddy!

 

hey Jason, do you happen to know what part i would need to fix the fuel gauge/tank issue? I came across the whole assembly (with the float) but it was like $250 does that sound right...?

 

I need more sign ups to get this in action!

Got both hidden winches done last night, damn those things take a long time to get right! And all I have been doing work on lately if 3rd gens and those farking things are a pain in the ass since the fender flare goes all the way to the bottom of the front bumper so you have to bend those back to remove the bumper without breaking the worlds most fragile clips. I have developed a pretty good technique but still not easy to even get to, lol

 

When I get my laser cutter I can make the shit outta those things!

 

Well for now people can get in on my group buy!

 

Yeah it wont be cheap because its an assembly/sump, but can be bought without the fuel pump, is that without pump?

 

Dont get lippy with me in the morning!

 

I just want 25 signups so I can get the damn order in. Gotta give the people what they (don't know yet that they) want! And need!

 

Haha, yeah the beds are super weak being made from composite and with sheet metal side panels. I've had quite a few of them come through with braces.

 

found this. but honestly i have no clue what i should be shopping for. kinda a bummer since we don't know if its just the float or the whole thing... should we attempt to drop the tank and take a look first?

Dang those things are pricey, well best case scenario it would be a sticky float, that can hopefully be freed and work happily ever after, however getting to that float isnt the easiest thing ever, but with a very low fuel level in the tank it would make it less cumbersome so I dont have to contend with sloshing fuel.
But if it isnt that then its almost good to have one on standby in case it needs to be installed, make sense? Thats if it wasnt terribly difficult to return!

 

Morning peoples!

 

Having a hard time finding a hella retailer. One of my spots glass is cracked and is starting to fall out.

 

It's pretty easy. Just run your tank to near empty.

 

Yeah, i'll see what i can get with a return policy.. then we'll plan on dropping that bitch lol
In the mean time... are you free to take a look at my dash again? the temp gauge is still jumping around. maybe a faulty wire?

 

I cleaned all the connections to the actual dash from the harness and even used some really expensive contact enhancer on all plugs. Im guessing either a wire or maybe even the sender failing, I think we should replace the sender and see if that works rather than trying to chase a possible intermittent connection which can be very hard to find.
It needs to be the sender for the gauge not the ECU, there are 2 temp sensors.

 

By the way do we have any Concrete finishers in here?? I need one or two for my first pour (16x40') for the new shop!
