A 2nd Gen Resto(ish)/Build(ish)/BS(ish) thread..Taken over by another Tundra, and a Tacoma is back

Mernin! ​

 

So, still wiring the new dash additions but these showed up today.

Billet fuel rails for FIC injectors, anodized in TRD red of course.




I still need to order the injectors and a few other things, so these will be on the shelf for a bit before the fuel system gets a 100% upgrade. Pics don’t do them justice, they are incredible.

 

Spicy! ​

 

Well CH4X4 finally got me the dual usb so I was able to finish up wiring in all the new goodies. Heated mirror switch is all wired up and dead headed ready for heated panels. The power switch turns on one set of usb chargers and my streamlight strion charger in the console. I should have plenty of charging ports now .

The tow-pro is done, I wish I had time to go camping to try it out but I’m headed back to work tonight.... maybe next time.

Really glad I spent the money on a lower dash that had switch blanks.

 

CLEEEEAN. I love that trailer. Looks like the perfect balance of comfort, amenities, size, and utility.

It doesn't help that they assemble the dash from top to bottom so you have to pull everything from the bottom up to get behind it! It used to bug the piss... what am I saying, it still completely bugs the piss out of me! But it does come apart and go back together much faster now that I've done it 100 or so times.

 

Thanks man. When I saw the trailer I knew it was just what we needed. We’ve only been to the beach with it so far but it did great, especially for the price compared to most in the class. I’m gonna make some upgrades, but overall they are pretty minor. New hitch (longer and better), new wheel and tires, and new fenders to cover the new tires.

Lol, unfortunately I’ve gotten pretty good at taking it apart too. I’m kinda OCD about my wiring, since I do it for a living I think it should be above reproach .

I’m stuck having to look at my taco in the hotel parking lot now, I should have left it at home so I didn’t have to think about how much I’d like to go play.

 

Does that trailer have solar panels and water and everything? Are you keeping the ball hitch or swapping out for a pintle or an off road hitch?

I know what you mean. I'm no professional but I want to be able to look at what I create with pride!

I saw a bunch of guys working by the brewery today, were you one of them?

 

It doesn’t have any panels but is pre wired for them, I’m probably gonna end up doing the suitcase style so I can park the trailer in the shade and run the panels away and aim them. I’m looking at a couple of different Offroad hitches, the really cool ones are hard to get so probably gonna get a lock and roll just to keep things easy.

I was indeed one of the idiots down there sweating. I had to show a couple of the puppies they couldn’t keep up with the old dog .

 

Suitcase style sounds like the way to go. Hadn't thought about parking it in the shade but that definitely sounds like the way to go.

 

These are b-e-a-utiful!

 

lol this gave me a good laugh

 

I’m really happy with how they came out, glad I went ahead and jumped in even though they won’t get used for a while.

Yeah, kids today aint got the heart anymore, but I’m trying to teach them.

 

Well, I’ve got a few small items in and they are starting to add up. Victory 4x4 center console Molle panel, Balls Out Offroad acc mount, and spotter mirrors. Hopefully they will all be installed Wednesday when I get home on days off.

 

Good Morning Kent

 

Good morning Maner, you caught me on my sleep in morning.

 

Figured you work Sundays when your away

 

I didn’t need to see this

 

Definitely the right choice! Those look top notch. that red is just incredible!!

And good morning sir

 

Thanks bro! Good morning!

 

I do, they pulled us yesterday to lay up today to work tonight. We had a derailment and it’s going back together at 9pm. I tried to stay up late last night, I made it to 10

Normally I get up at 430 for the gym but not today.
