Windigo build thread

Super cool

I like how you just get er done!

 

When I have time again I'll revisit this.
I used the the sensors that came with the fj case and the connectors are blue. they dont plug into the truck harness that would originally go to the tacoma sensors. I'm just going to cut those connectors off and hard wire them. eventually..

 

I screwed this up. You use your connectors from your Tacoma case and put them into the fj case.

what a typo.....fuck and you have your case installed.

this shows the Tacoma sensors in the fj case.

 

Oh no worries. It's all good. Just drove about 1 hr on highway and no leaks or strange noises.
Just noise because nothing is sealed.

I'm 1000.% happy with the t case and add delete. Now I'm 4lo 2wd backing into the driveway. Lol. No more riding the clutch.

I ment 2lo.....lol. it's all fun.

 

Well at only 215k the drivers door pin has worn out...

My production team has gone to shoot a movie so hear are some galaxy pics. lol

 

Do you happen to use that door in assisting you entry to your rig?

aka short man problems?

 

emmmmmmmm... lol. short man problems... never heard of that. I'm a full 5'5 btw lol.... a giant among the munchkins... the answer is ... yes.

 

I can bet that is what wore it out.

Very nice

 

You're probably 90th-percentile among the Japanese population where the truck was designed

Did you lube your door hinges with every oil change? It's the "lube" part of oil, lube and filter.

 

It happens.......easy to change though

 

Do spray the fuel door hinge with lithium grease with every oil change. If that joint seizes, it can bend the wire rod and cause the door to not sit flush.

 

Helped a friend install a bumper and winch today. It came.out pretty good.
Hear is a b4 and after pic.

 

You know I said If I have to abide by some "stay home order I'll fix all the little things on the truck.
So today I decided to straighten the steering wheel.
It's easy was just.too lazy b4

 

And more loose ends.

 

Tanking carenof the gap. Since I raised the bumper 2"

 

Are these good numbers for rear axle travel?

 

That’s about as much Travel as I’m anticipating this Summer if things don’t change up soon. Is that an All Pro bumper? If so just curious as to what the weight is. Looks real good too.
