    It's not a brace for the differential, it's a brace for the traction bar. I kept breaking the steel bracketry on the traction bar. This was its last rendition.

    That engine will last you 400k before you need a rebuild. Not even halfway there man.

    Apparently it's a known issue with Toyota flex lock converters. The clutch surface glazes over and shudders similar to when a manual trans chatters like crazy when the flywheel surface is burnt or glazed.

    Mounted a Scorpion bumper with a Warn EVO winch. Still thinking if I want to mount the LED light bar that came with it or if I’m going to put fog lights in it. I could do both…AB5E75D3-0F4C-42B0-B58A-C861505A89BF.jpg

    I was curious if it was like a driveshaft skid for going over obslicals that could high center you. It Looks like you’re running a solid shaft. You answered the question tho very nice!

    Bit the damn bullet and ordered the door seals that allegedly fix the damn kazoo once and for all. Tried all the other inexpensive fixes, nothing worked. After 8 yrs it’s finally annoyed me enough. :annoyed:

    No I haven't moved yet. The manufactured home will be done being built in 2 weeks. We're waiting for the county to approve moving dirt. It's been 4 months waiting so far. So the house will be sitting in a parking lot somewhere.

    Got my OEM smoked headlights in. Maybe not as dark as I wanted but can't beat OEM quality. Overall I am very pleased! FWIW mine came perfectly aligned. P.S. don't mind the messy shop. Currently renovating!

    Did one side of cab moubt relocation. What a pain.

    Took 2 hours start to finish, other side will probably go quicker.
