Can’t wait to see the tears after you run that fucker into a tree.

 

Can't wait to see your truck on trails, not at the malls

 

FRP hood prep and paint. Changed wipers to Bosch Icon and relocated the washer nozzles to the wiper arms:



I used Dorman P/N 47280. Waiting on more 4mm tubing to clean up the routing on the cowl cover.

 

You did last weekend....

 

3 weekends ago*

 

>attacks him with a "mall crawl" joke
>is also the person who set up a mall crawl event

 

You guys think I am due new brakes?





Rotors have 105K on them and still measure thickness same as the new one Not warped or anything, but i'll change them for sake of mind.
That's the quality!

 

also, anyone know how the Cabin air is routed?
i got friggen leaves inside my filter

 

Through your cowl, that sucks it from top and side where wheel well is

I don't advocate putting a mesh over the opening, though, because leaves can still collect on top of the mesh. Cleaning the cabin filter is easier. I usually replace my cabin filter every December, after all the leaves have fallen.

 

i forgot to hit enter for my original plan saying;

i'll slap on some chicken wire somewhere to catch it then or i'll just pick up another filter on monday, wont kill me since i drive with the windows down.


but thanks for the link though, looks like a bit more of a pain to clean off the leaves from the mesh but with the amount that.
maybe building a system with a range hood wire mesh filter could work.

 

Stock rotors?

 

They are, more than sufficient for me. Stops every time.

 

My original rotors lasted a long time too.

 

Mine were same at 100K ...very good condition, swapped anyway.

Stock to stock

 

OK. So did a lift and getting some vibes on the driveshaft.Did double CB drop, didn't fix it. Did Toytec 3 degree axle shim-now it's way better but the vibe is still there. After shims there's a hum/wind noise in the back. Here are the questions:
1. What else can be done to further decrease/eliminate those vibes?
2. On another thread a question was raised about differential oil level/lubrication efficiency after shim install. Is it a valid concern?

Any input greatly appreciated.

 

Have you measured the driveline angle prior to anything? I know you can’t go back, but atleast if you had a reference of angle it could help.

adjusting the cb drop is the easiest. You may find removing it completely and just using the axle shin on its own may help. Maybe the double cb drop was too much/little.

some have fixed it with solid driveshafts but you are getting into some mulla there.

I would keep playing with the cb drop and try and use an angle finder on the driveshaft to figure it out. Magnetic ones work very well and can be had pretty cheap.
