    Started my rear bumper build. I like how it conveniently lines up with the linex the previous owner put on the bed sides. 0521181430b.jpg 0521181430a.jpg 0521181431.jpg
    Edit: I dont have drivers lean just a really uneven driveway

    Has that truck always been in Utah? Toyota really fucked the dog when it came to the seam sealer on the bed floor seams. It's rusting from under because they relied on the shultz coating to act as a seam sealer and the seam is right at the edge of the wheel well

    Day Two: everything is back together, and it's blowing cold air. No left-over parts, no injuries, no twisted off bolts, and it fixed the problem. My kind of repair job!!!!!

    Dodge 9.25” axel with 3.92 gears and a lsd. Would be a decent axel to use on a rock crawler or even a pre runner, set up for sua already

    Less than $600, which included a set of gauges and vacuum pump ($129). Only thing not replaced were the lines, and the electronics. Everything came from Amazon.

    I’m putting a Lexus IS300 steering wheel on to replace the old one, but the airbag charges are different.

    Yeah, but it's a Dodge. I rather raw dog a chick named Tiffany with a cold sore the size of Gorbachev's birth mark.

    I need to replace mine. No AC sucks... $600 isn't bad. Where did you source parts?

    Yep waited 10 minutes before, and 10 minutes after before I worked on the SRS system.

    I don't know if I feel comfortable modifying the SRS system in any way, I could have sworn these IS300 wheels had the same airbag connector @Speedytech7 has the same steering wheel in his truck.
