    Found out I used the wrong wire when I made my door harness for the power mirror. I used 18ga. but I wanted to use 20ga.
    I want to use 22ga. white wire to do my navigation but I can't find any.

    I called the dealer today to find out what the text message was about. I'm having the frame treatment done next month.

    I wonder what I will get as a loaner?

    Amazon has a ton. Home Depot also carries some garage door opener wiring that is 22 gauge.

    Icon RTX pack on level one, u-bolt flip kit & Timbrens plus extended braided lines.

    Gave me 3” of lift initially but has settled to 2.5”. As long as my shocks can handle it I’m happy, drives so much better than the OEM pack at 56K miles.

    Also thank you Wheelers!

    2018 new Frame (thank you Rust!), FJ T-case swap. SPC(LR) UCAs, Bilstein 5100s front - rear, OME 883 at 0, HeadStrongOffRoad 3 leaf progressive AAL, MESO custom 2nd gen (Red/White) LED dome & Ultimate Maps, Spyder Halo Projector w LEDs (which SUCK), Spyder LED tails
    Have you found that it was necessary to remove the top portion of the (front) fender flare?
    I recently went to 305/65/17 on 17x9 -38 wheels and have removed my flares, have trimmed the body some at the back and front where it the tire would rub (pinch weld is folded and CMC is done)

    And am now debating how much is needed to remove/trim off of the actual flares....

    They told me that they only do 2 tacos a day and they would need it for at least 6 hours. I dropped it off for 8am, rode my bike back home. I picked it up for 3pm.

    Go under your truck after the treatment. It’s a joke. Truly. Some non-permanent, non-drying cream. And a couple plastic caps. Stupid.

    It’s the natural progression. I had 295s and then went to 35s. The rear bumper is already modified for them too :gossip:

    Finished up my custom relay/fuse box, rated for 400 amps. Also finally wired up all 7 pairs of lights :rofl:around 40,000 lumens combined on the front end. Excited to try it out as supplemental fishing lights :D

    True that bro. Only in my mid twenties, but I’ve always been taught to be a “yes sir, yes ma’am, no sir, no ma’am” type of person, so it was just aggravating to be showing her respect the entire time but she just constantly talking down on me. I even went as far as telling her “I know this box is gonna fit because I looked online (this forum) and saw folks with the same exact toolbox in the same exact truck and it fit perfectly fine”. Even with that information, she was still talking under her breath, grumbling about how I’m eventually gonna come back in and return it anyway :rolleyes: But I definitely feel for everybody here, such a large portion of this island works hospitality and with all the hotels and stuff closed, everybody been on edge here. Me and my girl just had a talk about this a few days ago because it’s hard for me to put myself in her family’s shoes during this because working at the wastewater treatment plant for the county, I haven’t been laid off at all during COVID......so I haven’t been worried about paying bills or anything like the majority of this island has. But ever since restaurants have been opened back up, I’ve tried to go and support them and make sure we leave generous tips everywhere because we know they all struggling. Hopefully the economy makes a comeback soon, this island is struggling and forcing a lot of businesses to close its door.
