Another "upgrade" we couldn't live without!

 

Did you see any change/improvement in the driving with the upgraded end links? Just curious

 

Nice! yeah I never have luck with 4WP. I ordered straight from RCV should be shipping soon tho

 

Not really @NmapFE . I was happy they were a little beefier and that the old came off easy. Still have a clacking sound when going over speed bumps, not going to worry about it.

 

Installed Firestone ride rite airbags with Daystar cradles. Pretty easy job but not the most enjoyable thing to do slightly hungover. Getting ready to pickup a new to me Four Wheel Camper next weekend.

 

I switched the RCI rack from the 2022 to "old clutch" because she wears it better!

 

New fairlead and shackle mount.
I like how it fits up all close and tight.

 

I pride myself on being able to do anything to my truck. I've changed my rear springs a couple times, CV axles, brakes, LCAs, I really felt I could do anything. I will admit that somethings take longer than they used too, but today my age caught up with me, and it's very humbling.

I rented a ball joints press, marked my driveline, removed my transfer case skid, and hit the proverbial wall. I didn't have the strength to break those 14mm nuts loose on the driveline today.

I'm going to order a couple long 14mm wrenches and try again in December. I will not be defeated!

The upside is at least the oil change is done.

 

Is that a pelfrey bumper? What fogs you got there?

 

I feel your pain, pun intended. The body doesn't work like it once did.

 

The only good thing about it is I'll be retiring in either June or maybe December, depending on the 1/2 dozen doctors appointments coming up in the next 30 days.

 

Got my crc done this week. I didn't see any holes in the frame so I knew there wasn't going to be approved for replacement. I only got it done to stay in compliance of the warranty.

 

All armor is Pelfrey except the side bars.
Bought everything online before they went sideways. Lights are Cree something from Amazon.
Super bright and have worked great for the past 5+ years. Zoom on on pic, they fit perfectly.

 

Went to use my on board air compressor today and found out it's toast! Good to know now rather than in the middle of nowhere.

 

Fixed my sloppy wiper transmission linkage using a couple of these...

 

Finally tensioned my winch line

 

Nice. That's what I've been looking for, something that fits within the opening. I have some rigid pods behind mine and they're okay, but I think I can do better.

 

Never TRIED to rip anyone off. Built lights on here for years and had a lot of personal shit with divorce and custody battle and gotten back to where I need to be and only have one outstanding set left and will be continuing my light building and hitting timeframes like I have the previous 6 years or so before that stuff. Thanks tho

 

Post Update: got my 4Runner gear loft shelf installed only had to fab 2 arms to support the front that mount to the rear grab handles. i may have been the first Tacoma to do this but it works and looks great!
