Thank you pete37

 

yes nice job

 

Hmmm...3 years ago today I joined this site. Not quite sure how I feel about that...

 

WOO! I too vote for CT motorsport / @pete37 if he has the ability to get the store to get in touch with you guys.

now to consider the rear and side molle plates that they have which should be my answer to my cargo box from shifting all over the place (as i have 3 bungie cables and a 4 foot 2x3 as a spacer all holding it back in place) and to solve my janky as hell mounting brackets to the spade and axe i have in the back.





@19Canuck the lower grille mount is a good bracket and it does fit with my SSO bumper so if you do upgrade to that at least, you can still use them down the road.
For now just use zip-ties and wait till the above happens and then get the lowergrille bracket from Pete, it'll be cheaper than fabercobbling something yourself (take cost of your own time into creating it).

 

The 4Runner is ready for the upcoming Mall Crawl! ARB compressor wired, plumbed and tested. Really pumped to put the rear locker to use, wasn’t really required in the Kiss-N-Ride lane at school today.

 

How’s that rubber boot holding up?

 

Rubber boot?
The bellows on the shifter?

 

You get an air chuck for the compressor too?

 

Was hoping he wasn't asking about your trojans

 

Yup, but the threads on the Tee for the pressure switch were fucked and wouldn’t engage onto the pump. Gotta buy my own 1/4” NPT tee another day. Not pleased, but I wasn’t about to quit halfway.

 

what tee are you using? like the arb manifold or is it on the compressor?

 

I got an “ARB pump up kit” from kijiji that came with quick connect chuck, and a tee for the pressure switch. But, the male end of tee won’t hand thread into pump.

The locker solenoids use a 1/8” NPT fitting, and the pressure switch uses 1/4” NPT. Otherwise I would put the air chuck in spot for Front Locker.

 

Yeah. Wondering if I should be looking into something else.

 

Mine on the AT shifter is garbage. Dry, cracked, split. I’m not sure who made it, but it’s at least 15 years old.
On the t-case, the boot is a little better, but I’ve got it on the parts list to replace next year.

 

Okay. I can live with 15 years of use. See how it goes. It won’t be sealing the floor. That’s a whole different problem. Lol

 

The last 15 years have been in storage. That rubber on the AT could be from the early 1990’s when the Chevy conversion was done. The interior boot on the t-case disintegrated, crumbled away into lots of pieces the first time I touched it. Think it was vinyl, def not rubber

 

Somehow I thought 2012-2015 Tacomas moved the antenna into the sharkfin and did away with the mast

 

Fair enough. I have it, but wanted to see if it was even worth throwing in.

 

I have the shark fin on the roof as well. I think is for the garage door opener in the rear view mirror. I rally don't know what it's for.

 

what's my next thing?
