Mods in Queue

What mods do you have ready to install, but have been too lazy to install, start, or finish? How long have they been sitting and waiting? This question assumes you have all the parts needed to complete the job, you're just dragging your feet.


For me (what I can remember):

• BHLM: have all components and a spare set of headlights. They've been staring at me for over a year. Shopped this one out to a professional @no vtec 4me . I think the end result will be far superior to what I could do... and in a more timely fashion. New task: Install BHLM headlights, harnesses, ballasts and drivers. Would like to design a mounting plate/tray for all of the drivers and ballasts. Installed OEM TRD Pro LED headlights instead.
• Redline elite hood struts: sitting in my garage since April.
• Warn M9000 winch: need to drop my slimline bumper to swap out my Warn M8000 for this 9k model. This is my most recent mod, only sitting since September.
• Taco Garage DMM
• Rear diff breather mod
• Finish exhaust chop. Cut back farther and weld on TRD tip.
• Replace bushings and ball joint on UCA's Replaced with 74 Weld UCA's
• Update OV Tune with higher alternator output for AGM battery
• Germes Lab anytime front and rear camera: on my office desk since June.
• Install DRT spindle gussets

I'm sure there's others that I'm not remembering right now, but I'll update if necessary.

What do you have? Maybe we can motivate each other to get these simple mods done.

 

My resolution for 2021, assuming my new '21 Taco TRD OR AC gets delivered by 12/31:

DO NOT BUY any mod unless I'm sure that I'll have the time (and appropriate weather conditions) to install it within a few days after receiving it.
(I've bought & accumulated far too many things for projects that have just sat and now I can't always remember what they were for!)

Happy Turkey Day to all TW members & lurkers!

 

I finally put my morimoto headlights in and my pro grill.
Next is my ARB bumper and once I get my base dyno and another tactrix will be the ovtune flash

And URD and aFe are having sales...dammit...anyone wanna give me 2k for no reason!? I'll even take just 1k

 

I keep saying I'm gonna get this sso bumper on. Had it a couple months. Today's the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe.

This vf tune update is just sitting on the computer too...

 

arb diff breather kit

rx 350 retrofits that have been sitting in my garage since I've owned my truck lmao

urd headers that look like a pain in the ass to install so ill probably never put them on

oh also ss extended rear brake lines that i should probably put on before i rip my stock ones right off

 

Do the Redlines! Great mod. It took me an hour because I didn’t have any help holding the measuring tape but seriously it will take about 15 minutes and you will be very happy with it. Hope that helps

 

I have a set of
Spiker Engineering ULTIMATE Lift Hood Strut Kit
sitting In a box, but its 40 outside and don't want to do it yet, need to get into the garage first.
They look well built and am eager to put them on.

EDIT: and some SEMA rims showing up in a week or 2

 

I don’t want to think about this.

 

Blais Bros diff breather

@Gilmorec61 winch power cutoff(might do that today).

Entire new stereo system to go in, but STILL waiting on MrMarv to deliver box and amp rack.

Extended rear brake lines

 

I've got the CaliRaisedLED 52" light bar and the CaliRaisedLED Ditch lights yet to install. Been almost two years since they arrived... The 52" I am unsure if I will ever install as I keep seeing people mention in threads here that it vibrates very badly on the highway and I def do not want that so I haven't tried the install yet(if you have this light bar with the CaliRaisedLED brackets for it and have had zero issues PLEASE let me know what the secret to installing with no vibrations is!) The ditch lights, I have to have covers for before I install and they are almost made but not done yet... as well as the fact that the person making the covers for me dropped one and broke the plug so I need to get a new one and get it installed and then they will go on. I have the CaliRaisedLED 30" bumper light bar installed and it's so bright I also am not sure I even need the 52" plus I am worried about power draw seeing as I do not have a dual battery setup(if you have advice to offer please do!!)

I also have the AJT Designs interior blackout kit waiting to be installed. I am ordering the auto panel/bracket removal kit today to hopefully make sure I don't break anything during the install. Only had this since Sept...

Lemme know if u wanna get rid of those URD's. Are the catless?

 

i dont think they will fit your 3rd gen lol

 

I was wondering why u said headers.

 

Mods in queue? Hmmm... lemme think..... Nope.

 

My plan is to install them tomorrow or Saturday. Depends on what my wife's plans are for me. But it is 100% getting done this weekend. Tired of looking at them.

 

Looks like we have some overlap. Stringing the winch line is easy enough, but it's a two man job. One person operates the winch while the other applies tension to make sure it spools nicely on the drum.

 

Sorry Nick, he doesn't want to give you head...ers.

 

That doesn't sound like fun. Hopefully like most resolutions, that one doesn't make it past January.

 

Your "mods" and mine are clearly on different levels. You're fully justified in dragging your feet.
