A real volt meter costs more than $100, the panel meters all use basically the same type of circuitry and are good for +-0.1 volts or so. It would work well enough for monitoring system voltage.

 

Latest craze, The scrunchy mod.

 

Link-- For some reason TW would not let me direct link to the site. Also have a direct link in the description of the video.

I linked my install video so you can see how bad my screens were. Its an awesome product with some good people behind it.
I highly recommend it. I am not affiliated with the company just super happy with how it came out.

Damn don’t know how I missed this on their site. Time to give them more $$$ thanks!!

 

Radflo and hammer hangers. Sway bar deleted.

 

How long did those 5100s make it? Wondering what kind of abuse they can take before I have the money to go with something better

 

Had some stuff taken off today and a six in Rough Country with Vertex shocks and Nitto Trail Grappler 33x12.5 on Fuel Covert 18x9 -12 offset installed.

 

From my experience they'll slap stock back on unless you have an auto body guy that works with you and uncharges the insurance to cover the cost of replacing aftermarket pieces. However once airbags are involved I think insurance companies usually total the vehicle. The bed being bent also isn't a good sign. I was recently in an accident and the total cost the auto body charged the insurance was $14,000. I needed a new tire, rim, from fender, inner fender frame, and a bunch of paint. My truck is also just over a year old. I read that once the cost to fix the truck surpasses 75% of the blue book value the insurance will total it.

 

Did you lift your truck? Im interested in adding 33s. Is it possible on a stock suspension?

 

That is a sick rig!

 

Its possible with skinnies. 255/85/16 or 255/80/17.

 

Made the move to new shoes. 265/70/18. Next month the canopy arrives.

Now and before(bottom)

 

I only ran them for 7500 miles, my buddy had his until 100k and those were abused, they are dead now.

 

-I did an oil change, new crush washer with is underrated. Mobil1, OEM filter. Hit the 6 month mark before I hit 5k miles because COVID. Also did my semi annual swearing off the Toyota Engineering F'ers that came up with the filter location and design on our trucks. A hearty F YOU to those guy, morons. Pro-tip: buy the metal filter housing that comes stock on Camrys, fits out trucks, easier to remove, much more robust even though I have full skids, it's peace of mind. Should not be a plastic part on off road trucks (again, FU Toyota Engineers, morons).

-Lubed all zerks on front and rear drive shaft spiders and U joints. Used Lucas Red N'Tacky NGLI#2
-Cleaned AFE dry media air filter
-Lubed zerks on Total Chaos LCAs with PTFE Super Lube (critical to loosen Cam bolts in order get the lube to flow in and not create too much pressure)
-Lubed zerk on Icon Delta Joint UCA with PTFE Super Lube
-Lubed zerks on Dobinson pins on leaf pack shackles
-Tire rotation and re-balance. Sure would be nice to have a TPMS sensor in the spare so we could do a 5 wheel rotation, again, thanks Toyota Engineers, morons.

 

Better yet... Tactical Snack Pack...

 

Oh boy, it guess it was just a matter of time until RC made a remote rez.

 

Getting any snow?

 

what are you running in the back? blocks? Looks great and i've heard really good things about the Vertex shocks

 

Yes sir, blocks.
