In the process of adhering a Redline Goods cushioned pad on top of the center console. No more sore right elbow on long drives

Finally got done with my bed slide. It was the last part before putting my shell back on. Had to finish my DIY stiffeners, bed slider, then shell.

 

I can’t take credit for that unfortunately. I copied and pasted the entire post.

 

I got it to cycle but in the end it didn’t work for me either. I’m gonna try again tomorrow.

 

Watch this video, he discusses this at around 10 min. AMD is a master diagnostic tech for Toyota (now has his own shop) and is incredibly knowledgeable. Check out his "how to" videos, they are very well done and you can learn the tricks.

Looks nice! Are these the:
[Front] 4" Flare 3" Rise OR 6.5" Flare 4" Rise ?

It looks like the [Rear] only has one option (4.5 Flare 3" Rise)

 

Pedal feel is a bit soft right now because I'm pretty sure the bleeder screws are allowing air into the system. Going to swap in the oem ones to see if it helps. Also contemplating swapping in a Tundra master cylinder

 

Maxtrac 4" lift spindles

 

I was finally able to fix my exhaust leak between the catalytic converter and the rear muffler pipe. I had to go with external brackets, a new gasket and a lot of dremmel work. For the first time in about a year I have water coming out of my muffler
I also topped off my weeping manual transmission fluid… Time to get a new fill plug for next time. It’s starting to round off a little. And I replace the cabin air filter. 227,007

 

Added some molle panels to the interior.

Hooke Road Interior Storage Molle Panel
The screws and spacers that come with this are useless. I sprayed painted some self taping screws black and used rubber grommets as spacers.

you will get more out of the conversion to tundra booster than the brake upgrade alone. It is awesome and also will impact rear brakes some as well

 

Good find. MESO has a molle rack but it's been out of stock for a while.
I may have to go this route. I wonder if it's the only alternative. So far, I think it is.

 

thanks! they are 4" flare 3" rise

 

Not sure if that is the best place for a metal cylinder. That could go flying in an accident.

 

With the way I have it strapped if the hit is hard enough to break it free I promise you it will be the least of my worries.

 

Fify

 

Eww. Look @ this grossness in my catch can.

Oil change and filter ✔️

Swapped air filter ✔️

Rotated tires ✔️

Refilled washer fluid ✔️

Syn blinker fluid ✔️

Emptied catch can ✔️

Next couple weeks I'll do diff fluid but i have to remove all my skids

 

 

I bought a good brass punch and went to town on it. It took quite a beating before it finally broke free

 

Replaced the driver side door lock actuator and upgraded the factory lower door speakers with some JBL 9632 6x9’s.

 

Did some stuff on my caps weather seal and feeling kinda festive
The plastic weather shield has broken in a few spots. I pre drilled then ran a self tapper in to keep it from pulling out of the channel. Drilled in the wrong spot the first time

Finally got around to putting the lights on...
