Slapped a few more pieces on today

 

Just a reminder that transmitting without a license is technically illegal. It's easy to get the license though.

Continue on!

 

Got mine... Thank you very much... Call sign KM6BRX

 

Encourages?! I'd immediately place a tracker into her purse and check her browser search history. #suspicious

JK.

 

Put in a locker down security console. My g19 wouldn't fit so the 26 got truck duty.

 

Awning with sleeper cap, a dream come true

 

Finally lifted, I'm in love so far!

 

20 minute TRD catback change out, I BS you not. 25 minutes if you count letting the hanger grommets soak for 5 minutes. I think the key is the floor jack and silicone spray. Jack up back of truck but kept rear wheels on the ground. Sprayed all hanger rods. The grommets slid right off the exhaust rods. I left them attached to the truck. A heavy towel over axle protected ABS wires. Old system comes out forward. New system comes in from the front. Install rear most grommet then install front two bolts but leave snug not tight. Install the remaining grommets. Lift up on tail pipe and give it a shake to level it. Without letting the pipe roll down tighten the two front pipe joint bolts.

 

Anyone know what the warranty is on the OEM Battery? I’m trying to decide if I want to use the warranty to get a new battery for the time being or if I want to bite the bullet and get my Odyssey 35-PC1400 Battery now. My OEM Battery is not holding a charge anymore and I’m at a little over 28,000 and my two year mark is 9/24/2018.

 

New shell installed today!

 

Threw on 4Runner trail wheels and 265/70/R17 KO2s. Stock suspension. Love it.

 

Yea, now that's exactly what I was talking about. The reviews and prices of these things are incredible! And I'm an old school guy that grew up on Midland and Motorola but when the time comes I may just have to go with the flow and get something like this. Especially if the rest of the guys I'll be wheeling with are using them. I'll just get two, use them for comms here at the house and have a spare while off road.

Thanks man!

 

You bought yours same month I did. Don't know warranty is but seems most are only lasting 2yrs or less. I'm only at 10k tho.

 

That's one of my favorites. Nice job. Looks great!

Just busting your nads

 

Alex Alex Alex......don't you know it's only illegal if you get caught Bro?!

Plus I'm all about being a law abiding citizen.

 

Mmmm mud

 

Gotta be the first time I've seen blue devil horns. Bad ass!
