Cabo Wabo's Build

Next on deck:

5100 Bilsteins
Add-a-leaf
Tundra brakes
17" SCS F5 wheels
265/70/17 BF Goodrich Advantage T/A Sport LT's

And then...

Replacing all exterior lights. I've decided to go new with everything. The total for headlights, side markers, turn signals, and tail lights comes to $237.84 from Amazon. All Dorman. And I'll do the @crashnburn80 headlight mod.

 

Workin on it...

 

That radiator's lookin pretty shabby. Replaced.

 

Got me a Yellowtop! The battery died and the previous owner had a couple months of warranty left. So only $90 out of pocket for this bad boy!

 

I'm not sure anymore. It was recommended to me and I looked at a few reviews and said "Cool, a deep cycle battery to run all my stuff and it's got good starting." Then after I bought it I looked into it further and the reviews on these things are very mixed.

 

Bed lined my fenders today. Turned out nice. Couple tips - hold that spray can WAAY back and do 3 thin coats. This stuff can sit on itself and run very easy. Even when you do it slowly, it looks pretty funky when it's wet. Be patient and let it dry. It'll come out nice!

 

During the timing belt change I painted the cover. Did a little more cleanup to the engine compartment today. I hate doing this part so I'm breaking it up a little at a time.

 

The timing belt cover...

 

Engine enamel. Duplicolor I think it is.

 

Duplicolor engine enamel. Hope i didn't use the wrong thing

 

Got my Tundy kit ready to rock-n-roll

It’s hard to say if TW has saved me or cost me more. On one hand, I may have spent more by not knowing what to hunt for. On the other hand I might not have wanted to do so much!

 

@Jamesboy2233
Question is, do I have a $13k truck now? I don’t think so

 

Just remembered I’ll get something back for the wheels I have now. Maybe $300. And my shock are in great condition so I can sell those too. I’ve got totokico blues in the back and the front ones are the black ones. Any idea what I can get for those?

 

Lot's of good stuff man. Glad you're tackling the maintenance items as well.

 

First order of business... I was really impressed with the seller's records. Gotta take care of the peace of mind stuff first

 

Line x underway

 

Did someone say Cabo Wabo?

Youre gonna love the Line-X. Just dont slide huge/heavy pieces of metal (for your inevitable bumper build) into the bed. Mine is scratched from doing that.

 

Yeah I dont haul chemicals/gross stuff in my truck since it has a camper shell. I use the 92 with the plastic liner for that.

Edit: And spilling paint/chemicals/oil in your truckbed is just carelessness. I think OP cares enough about his truck to not do that.
