MARYLAND TACOMAS

Quick ride before the rain

 

yes the plastic air box.

I just installed a brand new denso radiator and a 170 thermostat

 

Now my 4runner needs a power steering pump. I guess i'll try to find an oem one

 

Anyone know where I can get a cmc done here in Maryland? My 275s are rubbing

 

I can do it

 

Damn, beat me to it Brother! I was just getting ready to say Tony Montana!

 

Shortly after I did my motor swap the ps pump on my lifted Tacoma was making a awful noise and tough to turn sometimes. I changed the fluid and cleaned the screen in the bottom of the pump and that fixed my steering issues.

 

the pulley itself is wobbly and it makes a horrible racket on cold start and occasionally on other startups. Plus I actually dont know how to clean the screen

 

Picked up my swingout attachment today. This bumper is bad ass! And I'm surprised that it didn't squat the rear of my truck like I thought it would. It drove nice on the drive home. I may add next size stiffer springs if I need too.

 

Gotta question, Should I wired my led light bar to the fuse panel under hood or is there another reason the switch light stays lit. Maybe I should with the yellow from switch to a ignition on fuse.
I installed and wired up 2 ditch lights and a hidden bumper light bar. The bar has a harnes and the ditch lights have a harnes for both ditch lights wired to a single dual switch, that has blue led when off and green when light either light is on. That said, the led bar is wired to the battery while the ditch lights are wired to the fuse box under the hood, tapped to the header mirror (don’t have). Or did I mess up on the wiring, see pics of the switches.
I wired grounds together.
The reds are wired with the white and yellow from the switch.
One blue to the light bar
One blue to the ditch lights.
Both the bar and ditch lights work like they are supposed to.
Any thoughts, didn’t want to make a new thread for this. Thanks!

 

I got it working the right way. I can still turn them on with the truck off, just like headlights. I just took the yellow from the switch and went to a fuse under the knee panel inside the cab. Just gotta wait till night to adjust the beams. Only thing not happy with is only the left half of the switch seems to light up... maybe it’ll look better at night too.

 

@Kevinamaya08 came to the house and I did the CMC on his truck, nice guy, nice truck, and no more rub

 

Looked these up on Carid and they say low stopping power. Not exactly what I expected from brakes. Confused.

 

I've used them for years on my trucks & customers vehicles, never a issue or complaint about'em.

 

Figured I better relocate my tag.

 

I've found most trucks and some SUV's benefit greatly from a bit of weight out back, helps keep the rear wheels stuck to the ground. im looking at adding a plate bumper to the back of my truck for this exact reason.

 

Morning Maryland

 

Ordered a ps pump and pulley assembly last night. Hopefully this is the last thing that needs done for a while....

 

Last thing? Still needs a suspension lift, offroad tires on a nice set of wheels, tundra brakes, poly bushings... You're just getting started!

 

it has new suspension, brand new tundra brakes, poly bumpstops, Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws, and 2019 4Runner offroad 17" wheels
