What model kenwood is that and how do you like it?

 

I usually go to a local to me store for hardware. Abbaba Bolt. I have no clue what their online experience or over the phone experience is like. If you need me to I'll go down there and figure out what you need, if they'll sell them individually, and how much they want for them. This link should be their website.

The bolts that I painted came with a body lift. I have some of the stock bolts with a T55 head. 3 of the 6 are in great shape, 2 others have a few marks on the outer edge of the heads from a pipe wrench, the 6th bolt is trashed as I had to cut its sides with a cut off wheel in order to loosen it. I used the flat washer off of all 6 and that required slight grinding on all of the bolt shanks (threads were unaffected). I don't have an accurate way to determine metric bolt thread size.

For reference, it's the exact same size bolt and thread as a rear bumper bracket to frame bolt. It uses a 17mm socket. The OD of the bolt at the threads is 0.468 inches which comes out to 11.887mm, I'm not sure if that makes it a 10mm bolt or a 12mm bolt. From the bottom of the bolt head to the end of the threads is a little shy of 4 1/4". The unthreaded shank is 1 7/8" long. Working off of my memory (yikes) the threads would need to start at around 3 1/4" down from the bottom of the bolt head which would make about an inch of thread on an aftermarket bolt.

I've got a couple more days until I can post some things for sale on TW and these bolts are part of that goal. Just a few odd things trying to help people out instead of throwing the stuff away. Send a PM srsspicer to me if you want them, you've got 1st dibs on them.

 

I noticed a ton of play in my aftermarket eBay cheapie rear lift block's alignment holes - way too big. Idk if passwordstaco123 has rear blocks or not but...

 

I've had quite a few old Honda's. This one was my favorite of the bunch.

 

This is what I did today, actually Tacoma related.


LOL

 

Gotta support the lazy somehow.

 

Hey, Brian, what’s the plan for the clamps on the hoop? I was thinking of adding the extra BD Squadron Sports like that.

 

Mine fits pretty damned well. MOBTOWN OFFROAD

 

Forgot to post it, but a week ago Friday, 33's!

I hate you. My super white will never look that clean

 

I was flirting with the idea of hanging lights from the top hoop, but then figured the visible wires would be an eyesore so now I'm going to mount them below the hoop on the flat part of the bumper. Will have to drill a few holes but will look much cleaner.

 

Bro it's the 1st time in 4+ years the truck was detailed. I rationalize it as preventative maintenance for the paint. I think I can afford to have her detailed once every year or 2, so that in 10 years she still looks good.

 

Anyone have experience with the Icon billet uniball UCAs? Currently marked down to a ridiculously low price: https://amzn.to/343lF00

Thinking about snagging a pair.

 

Yeah I put in an AAL and new rear shocks with ubolt flip kit and superbumps. I probably need to just unbolt those and get it recentered, one of the ubolts looks like its slightly angled too from teh rear cause I was finishing up in the dark and using headlamps etc lol

 

It is the DDX376BT I like it, but wish i would have spent alittle more. The BT link isnt always the best but of course that could be from my older phone model. As far as looks and ease of use I do like it though.
