RCI bed rack and ARB RTT installed

 

I couldnt help but look at that picture and think -
That dog is like, “daaaaaaaayum!” lol

 

Finally finished mounting up my power panel in the bed. It has been installed and wired up for a few weeks but was like this:



3rd try was the charm. 1st I tried VHB tape -didn’t work, 2nd time rivet nuts in the bed but the cutout in the bedside was too big so they had nothing to bite on to.

This time VHB and rivets to secure the pocket to the bed and then rivet nuts in the pocket to bolt the panel on. This way I can access the back of the panel if I ever need to. Really happy with it.

 

This looks really cool. Nice work.

 

About to go through another resurrection after months of sitting. Hopefully going in next week to replace the toasted 3rd member with new 5.29s if the parts get here in time

 

Painted my grill

 

Looks sick. Good looking grill & truck.

 

After wifey totaled out my DCSB last week Progressive finally gave me my payout today. Bought the truck 3 years ago for $14K and they paid me $16K for it. On the hunt for a 2nd gen DCLB now. Holler if yall know of one. (not red please and must be 4wd).

 

Would have been handy if they mentioned that on the phone. My stock exhaust doesn't need it.
I guess I should be way more diligent in my research ...

 

Sorry to see your truck wrecked and totaled, but glad your wife is ok, and now you have a new project to look for. Sometimes a new start is a refreshing thing. Good luck!

 

Well I noticed a pretty big misfire at idle and after two days I got the dreaded P0306 code (misfire cylinder 6). I tried clearing the code and it did nothing. Tried swapping out the #5 coil with the #6 coil and it did nothing. So I popped out the #6 plug and I noticed this.
Electrode was loose and would fall into the plug when turned upright and then would fall back out and hit the bridge when turned the other way.
Needless to say, a new plug fixed the issue immediately.

anyone else have this happen? Out of all of the vehicles I’ve ever owned I have never had this happen. I think I may have got fake Denso plugs from eBay.

 

New headlight assemblies, with that Sport model smokey look. I'm doing fog light assemblies too, also stock, once I get the other one shipped (I did a dumb by only ordering one when I got the headlights). Now I gotta go find a wall to align them on...

 

That's crazy! I've never seen that before either.

 

Probably my favorite headlights, where did you get them?

 

The print on the insulator doesn't look quite right to me.. you may have

From Denso themselves on spotting fakes

 

Ordered them from a dealership, maybe overpaid but its both good looking and stock so I can't complain.

Part Numbers:
RH: 81110-04210
LH:

$350 81150-04210 Toyota Genuine Parts - Headlamp Assy, Lh (81150-04210)

81150-04210

As a bonus, they came with bulbs installed which was neat.

Also, they complained that the part #'s weren't compatible with my VIN but had em ship anyway. As many will attest, its direct fitment despite what their records show.

 

New headlights change an entire trucks look. Gonna look brand new. Sweet

 

Yep. Preciate it. It’s all working out in the end. Toddler was in the truck with her too. Situation could not have ended better. Not a fun phone call hearing your wife crying screaming your little boys name making sure he’s ok.
