2006 Gordita Blanca V8 4x4 "Penelope" Build Thread

I'll have to check it out tonight at work.

 

Was pretty good. I think you'll like it

 

Ok I'm finally giving this a listen at work tonight

 

so you order those slidders or what, guey? its been 16 days since your poll. they should be installed by now, no?

 

@ChadsPride not bad

 

GTFO of here traitor!

 

​

This guy fks! ​

 

I spoke to Billy at BFF last night. Now I'm just waiting for em to tell me how much and how to pay. He said pay half now and the other half plus shipping upon completion. 8-10 week lead time.

 

NICE!! if possible I would just go ahead and pay in full. May or may not help speed that lead time up a hair.

What's the specs on the sliders bro??

 

Kick outs and fill plates

 

Just stumbled across this 1st gen best gen

 

Legit! Bolt or weld?

 

Weld of course

 

That's what's up. Those are going to be bad ass!

 

Got some new goodies in the parts pile that will need to be taken care of once.i get some free time away from work where I'm not sleeping for doing stuff around the house lol

Dirty Deeds Industries 12 hole 270cc fuel injectors (made by Denso)





Ultimate headlight upgrade



Also not pictured is a set of spidertrax 1.25 inch wheel spacers.

 

Nice, interested to know how the truck performs.

 

Me too. I keep reading good things on tundras.com about these injectors. The popular opinion is they provide about +1mpg and a little more power and smoother shifts (odd I know). They say it's like driving your truck pre lift and tires as far as the engine peppiness.
According to DDI, these plus headers and exhaust are good for 40hp.

 

I just went with these items in the link.

Be sure to unplug the grey harness on the right of your battery if you have DTRLs

Just finished install. Lights are working and warm lol. Can't wait to see how they look on my way to work tonight


headlight harnesses






Dual relays


Positive (w/ 2 in line 20a fuses) and negative terminals


Old bulbs(left) vs new
Osram 55w vs Osram 100w
Both are H4

Also cleaned my MAF and polished the headlights with some instant stuff I got a Kroger. Worked great the first time a few months back. Can't really tell a difference this time.

 

I just realized that if you get into a wreck with this truck, it would then be a Gordita Crunch.
