    A good first step to do as a vehicle owner or DIYer is to search for technical service bulletins (TSBs) for your particular vehicle make/model/engine/year. If a known TSB exists (as is the case for some Toyota vehicles), following the instructions in a bulletin can help you save time and money in diagnosing and repairing your issue.

    Next, visually inspect all wiring and connectors that lead to the speed sensor. Look closely for any chafing, bare wires, broken wires, melted, or otherwise damaged areas. Repair as required. The location of the sensor depends on your vehicle. The sensor could be on the rear axle, transmission, or perhaps the wheel hub (brake) assembly.

    If the wiring and connectors are OK, then check the voltage at the speed sensor. Again, the exact procedure will depend on your make and model of vehicle.

    If everything looks OK, replace the sensor.

    Finally installed replacement bug deflector from EGR. Noticed after I opened they sent me the HD version instead of the clear smoked color deflector.

    Got a bunch of welding done today, it's going to be stronger than new guaranteed and should last a long time. Might even park it in the winter, it's a third vehicle for us so we don't need to drive it all year.

    Now off to camp, drink some beer, light the sauna and take a swim. :cheers:

    Feel like a cyborg popping out suspension components. I am not a huge muscle bound dude so this shit gives me a run for my money...

    Those UCA bolts are no joke... Also found out the PO of the grey truck replaced the LCA bushings with energy ones so IDK if I wanna go through with swapping to whiteline since the hard/stupid job of burning the old bushings out was already done.

    Mount to your inner fender it's fine to have your power be that long and it'll save your solenoid box

    Either in cab controls or leave it near the winch. Seen a few easy recovers take way to long or go bad because they have to wait for the driver to pop the hood and plug in his winch controller. When I or most people I wheel with winch, driver stays in, guy pulls winch. Guy plugs in winch controller and flips the spool lever and backs to the driver. The driver drives and winches in at the same time. Winch and be done. No unecessary Crap.

    On real hard trails I plug mine in and run it over my bumper and through the window and leave it on the dash.
