    Adding a 220 line is relatively simple if you do it yourself (if you have experience). Be extremely careful and throw the main breaker off. Make sure you buy the proper amp and proper shape receptacle that matches your welder plug. I bet I have 3 or 4 new receptacles in my tool box that I bought that did not match plugs after receiving equipment. Just make sure you have 2 open adjacent slots in your breaker box for the new 220 line. Dryer must be on its own circuit so you cannot add to that one. Best thing I ever did was put a separate meter and a 100 amp box when I wired up my garage. I have 2 heaters, machines and my a/c on 220's and I still have 15 open slots. With the heat this summer I think I will add another 220 for a 2nd a/c unit. My rafters and studs look like swiss cheese from pulling so many wires.
    MAJOR PS - throwing the main stops the current flow however there is still power up around that main so be careful routing wires.

    Got my Scangauge II installed. Need to figure out what I want to display aside from transmission temp (TFT) and battery voltage (VLT). Maybe engine oil and water/coolant temps.

    @WarFab Armor tie rod sleeves installed. Quality, smart product and a good feeling having this beef up front.

    After my trucks first downpour today since installing a new 3rd brake light I discovered (as suspected during install) water in the cab due to a crappy gasket. So I ordered a new gasket and for the time being has a small bead of black silicone around. It might be permanent as it's not noticable. We'll see.

    Replace diff gasket. During replacement noticed the bottom 2 or 3 nuts has worked themselves loose. I am guess from an out of balance driveshaft I had. This was a bitch of a job. I HATE drum brakes too!!!

    Had the wrong bumper mount my backup camera (2005-2010?) and had it strapped into the tailgate mount and held on with zipties.

    The correct Brute Force Fab mount showed up in the mail this morning, and, yeah... way better.

    Did those wheels come standard in 14 or did you add them too?

    Those wheels were released with the 2016 3rd gen TRD OR. Must have been takeoffs.

    I’m waiting on parts so I drove it to the store and picked up some ammo.
    Ok, It’s just airsoft ammo, don’t judge me.

    Absolutely agree. They look great on the older trucks, and unlike my PRO rims. They are super easy to clean.

    I got mine with the tires and shocks/springs for 400.00 bucks off of a guy upgrading his 2022 offroad

    Thank you sooo much bro... Im a gun guy too, and a huge camper. I am sick of picking up air soft rounds. You paid extra extra for those. But I'll buy you a beer and a burger any day.
