Is it an unwritten rule recovery points have to be blue, orange, or red?

 

Havent Posted in a while, heres some recent things ive done to get Ready for an upcoming baja trip

Pci Race Radios Icom 5021 Chase Kit 50watt vhf radio
Made a temporary power source through the cigarette lighter in console, when time permits i will hard wire the radio through the bottom of the console into the engine bay and connect it to my switchpros.
Couldnt find a Mounting locations that most suggested so i opted to mount it vertically in the center console, and use a console organizer (which i trimmed to fit) to keep everything in a nice package. you can still hear it just fine while it is closed. the antenna coax cable is routed out the back of the console, under the floormats, behind the seats up through the window. the window does not crush the cable from what i have noticed. enentually i will get a @MESO 3rd brake light with a built in mount and get that wired in and completely hidden when time permits.


i also added a Lowrance Elite 7 TI (Pci Race Radios Maps)
made a temporary harness aswell, which will routed behind the dash be tied into Switchpros eventually.
it is mounted with a ram mounts long arm/7ti adapter/size C Ram Ball, which bolts into the Expedition Essentials 3tpam.

@SDHQ OFFROAD Ditch Brackets & @Baja Designs Squadron Pro Driving/combo
Made a Harness and tied it into my Switchpros 9100 (Which was previously wired up by @AY_ARONTRD . hit him up for his switchpros wiring services. they are worth it. o )

Got some New EBC Cryo Treated Dimpled/Slotted Rotors and some 6000 Series Greenstuff Pads & Extended thread lugs & and an ECGS Bushing to replace the front Needle Bearing .
@Speed Freek got me dialed in. hit him up for any Socal Installs

Also Added a High Lift Jack on my front runner Rack, and a 4 gallon RotoPax on my RigD Ultraswing.

hopefully by the end of the week i will have a set of FabZone Sliders to help project the cab a little it although im sure i wont need them. id rather be safe than sorry. i have not seen many people on here that use a powertank but i did end up picking one up as a viar compressor couldnt handle airing up my tacoma's (285) and my sons jeep's (35") tires consecutively. the powertank is crazy awesome. i debated getting an ARB twin compressor but ended up with a powertank due to it being extremely portable, modular and less parts to break. (and it can Active ARB Airlockers) the powertank airs up extremely quick and would definitely reccomend it to anyone that spends time in the sand, and or airs down frequently. luckily i have alot of local shops that refill personal tanks (ive heard some people have issues finding gas supplys that will fill up your own tank rather than swapping one out) if anyone has any questions about the radio setup with links to the parts let me know!. may get a new front bumper soon, has anyone had any experience with the Addictive Desert Designs (ADD) Pro Bolt-On Bumper? i think its my favorite tube style bumper yet!

 

I'm not Canuckistani, but I dig the leaf!

Ordered a Dayton Audio DSP408. No more screwing around. I'm going active front stage and taking out the rear speakers.

 

$50 ABS plastic sheet and jigsaw

 

I put my cell phones in the driver's door pocket. Coffee goes in front cup holder, water canteen in centre console behind the shifter and backup water in behind the console. Just enough cup holders for me.

 

Installed a Waterport in my bed under my Diamondback cover using their mount and a Rago mount.

Nope.

 

Ha. My buddy has a gen 1 tacoma that he bought new. He completed a Toyota survey on the truck noting that it could use more cup holders. He claims he must be responsible for the proliferation of cup holders in 2nd and 3rd gen models.

 

Not the greatest of photos due to a bad glare but interior blackout is coming along

Added a Drake Fire Extinguisher mount, Pedal Commander and Icon swaybar relocation kit.

 

Anybody knows someone who can make a TRD logo decal for the back of MESO key fob?

 

Your tires will change pressure with temperature. In the morning mine start at 29 PSI and warm to 32 PSI after 10 miles. Probably would be higher if I went on a highway. Even having the sun shine on one side of the truck changes the tire pressure. I like running at 32 psi so I set cold at 30.0 psi on a cloudy day. Running BFG KO2 265/70R17 C load.

 

hard to find aftermarket sensors that sync up with the Toyota system based on all the reviews I read. That may work though if you find ones / somebody with the tech to sync them up.

I just wanted them so the light could stay off and so I can actually know if I have a slow leek in ones of the tires if I’m on a road trip or hunting etc. VS checking every time I fill up at the gas station...

To me it was easier to bite the bullet and do it right once vs not having done anything. I just got duratracs so I’ll be running them year round. Probably wouldn’t have done the sensors if I had a separate winter / summer tire like a lot of people do.

 

Get the trd from TVD Vinyl on Etsy, they give you two of them in case you screw up
