AC water leak inside cab saga continues

So can someone suggest some insulating type tape I might be able to use to try to stop my AC outside case condensation drip leak? Something flexible to get around bends and or protrusions on the AC case but still insulating. I searched for a tutorial on how to remove the glove box area and found a good picture and caption tutorial on how to remove the glove box from the 2016-2021 models. It is a series of .pdf's zipped up but worth the download if you need to do this.

Link please, looks good! When they see that they will just roll over to the next truck. No time or tools to mess with that.

 

Washed and waxed the Taco. Also have a quick question about roof molding. What's the easiest/ best way to glue this back down?

 

Stock bottle jack that's under the seat

 

I thought that gasket was supposed to stay in place by itself? Maybe one of these...

Edit: These glues are kinda messy, so use sparingly and perhaps mask off sides with tape.

 

Maybe some Christy's Pipe Wrap tape? It's really thick like 10 mil.

Or this?

That’s the truth, I cut mine couple weeks ago, nerve wrecking.

 

Damn, that looks good.

 

New battery box (cbi) for the new battery!
My starter went bad in just 20k miles so you know the first thing I did was make that an excuse for a new battery. Great fit! And wash after!

 

Added two transmission coolers for my towing needs. Now the temp. just bounces between 185 - 186 degrees which tells me where the thermostat is set at. If I open the thermostat manually - I stay at 140 - 160 degrees. Happy transmission !!!

 

On my T100 I used this adhesive back foil insulation in the foot wells and it worked well. There might be something thinner than 1/8th available.

Installed a snorkel on my brother's taco

 

When it happened to me on my 2nd gen I just used some 3M double sided body tape I had from attaching emblems on a few other cars. Worked great.

 

Mighty fine cutting you did there. Damn near perfect! Great job and looks bad ass!!

 

Just finished installing the ecgs bushing in my 2020 along with some upper control arms. Needle bearing actually looked fine but good for safe of mind. Must have stretched the ABS wires too much though as now I am getting an ABS error, pre collision error, and can't shift into 4w without restarting the truck . New abs wires on the way.

 

What bumper is this

 

Interesting enough I did the same thing. Then I saw this crazy thing. Off road express?

 

That sounds perfect but the link doesn't work.

 

Looked at it lovingly, all tucked in the garage, patiently waiting on my tires to come in so I can install them with my new wheels
