    Everyone starts out the same, dont worry about what they look like, a grinder will make em pass the 10/10 test,,10 feet away at 10 mph and they will be fine...

    Past few weeks I done did all this-

    New headlights. Had the older spyder model with the halos, seal broke and they were getting real leaky and lost a few LEDs. Time for a refresh.

    The new tires (went 285/75) needed new UCAs. Swapped coils while I had it apart. The wheels are takeoffs from a buddy too.

    And some custom forged fun.

    A catch can would likely reduce the build-up. I collect 1/2qt or more of fluid similar color during the winter.
    I check my catch can every month in the winter as the volume is the highest. ( Warm engine/cold ambient) this basically turns the catch can into a condenser.
    While it is more work to maintain, it is not dumping water and latte colored froth back into my intake.
    Since the oil fill neck is polymer, it doesn't absorb heat from the block as fast as aluminum. This means it is cooler and this is where warm gases condense.

    Yeah I went ahead and trimmed a bit more than conventional cmcs. I run 285 and eventually will run 35s with 3" lift so I future proofed it haha

    At home alignment. That’s how toe is adjusted. Spray paint some lines, mark a line on it with a nail, and do some tape measure magic.

    I am running a generic ADD-W1 kit.
    While i have been focused on paying off my Tundra, I will add a catch can to it too.
    There is no reason this fluid should ever be dumping back into my combustion chamber.

    Nice. Trying to decide whether to go ko2s or km3s... I’ve heard some opinions that ko2s wear fast.... true or no?

    That is a nice bumper! Shame what happened with pelfrey..

    Awesome, always wanted to try this myself. I eye it as much as I can and lug the taco over to the local off-road shop for alignment.

    Easiest install ever lol. How do you like the durobumps? I am running Wheelers super bumpstops and always liked how the durobumps seem to have a bit more rubber, seems as if they are progressive bumps.

    Check your radiator cap and make sure you don't have any gunk there, just to make sure.
