Thanks. I'll definitely let you know how it goes

 

Photo dump from overland expo with @crashngiggles and @MikefromCT. Had a blast and saw some really cool and really crazy stuff

 

Nice pix. I caught a cool you tube vid 4 guys 3 trucks into Canada then back to Oregon. Pretty good editing

 

Whatever day your welding buddy likes, ill make work no problem @AllTacosFloat. Cmc and cam tab bead, right? Also, it seems like the shop is fighting @Merling on this install, id be down to stop by somewhere after work this week and flip them around if you are John each of us takes a side and have him squared within the hour?

 

Should know by tomorrow.

with the way my work is, I would get home at like 630 then drive to alltacosfloat by 7? I could take a day off and come earlier if need be though. Hopefully they’ll just fix it tomorrow.

 

Edit to say yes on cmc and tab gusset.

 

Good news! Front and center diffs are still jacked up with the skid plate on BUT I should be able to do ATF! Just watched a video on where everything was, it's all way further back than I thought. So, that will probably happen this week.

Crap. Now I have to do that this week....

Just doing a drain and fill nothing special. Probably get into a 30k drain and fill pattern after this.

 

Sounds easy. Prolly isn’t.

 

Guarantee I'll be able to fill a swear jar within the first 7 minutes.

 

Just need a bigger jar

 

That’s pretty good.

 

Nah shouldn't be bad - only ~3 years on it. I know there are 3 things I need to get out. Fill, overflow, then drain. I have the hand pump already from doing my wife's camry (CVT ) a while back. I think the worst part will be needing a second drain pan and getting rid of the damn stuff. I still have the used TWS crap from the camry, I haven't been active in getting rid of it but I know I called one or two places and they don't take it. My town takes used oil so that's nice - engine and diff oils go away easy.

 

My Google fu is weak today... looking for Keyed power in the engine bay fuse box to add a fuse for switch panel.

Is efi OK?

@crashngiggles , what did you do?

 

OH. NO.

I tried this. There are 2 keyed power (in the turd gens). One gave me hyperflash, which was meh. I have so much random lightning shenanigans, who knows. Can't fault that. The second one I tried lit up my dash like a christmas tree.

Wait. No. Both in the engine gave hyperflash, the first one I tried in the cab did the christmas tree. I think I used ABS. I didn't look which it was, I just dropped it in

Check the cab first - if you have any open slots in your fuse panel, they'll be keyed power and perfect for switch panels. That's where mine is. If you don't have a sunroof, that's a perfect one for it. You'll have keyed power going to it, but nothing on the circuit. Drop an add-a-circuit through it and you're golden.

There are some constant power in there though, my dash cam is on one now. Forget which circuit it is.

 

I think I wasn't able to find anything in the engine bay. Here's my interior fusebox, any of these should work.

And I know I could combine all of these into 1 but I got lazy so it looks cancerous.

 

Sunroof sounds like the one.

Perfect. Thanks

 

I tapped into the ACC Fuse. 7.5 AMPS, but mine was inside the truck, not in the engine bay.

 

@AllTacosFloat This is the same one I used.

 

If you are going to add a new fuse box, did you want all them controlled by keyed power?
If that doesn’t really make a difference, I would put it direct to battery via a switch on the interior to control it. But that’s cause I’m lazy and don’t want to tap into the existing fuse box, lol

 

Yeah, being for a switch panel I figured I would put everything on the switch panel for stuff I do not want to leave on. So I'm okay with needing to put the key in to use certain lights. Most importantly I don't want anything to get turned on for left on without the truck running
