Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Made some changes today. Front is complete-3" lift and the truck sits flat now! The rear is also done-didn't get a picture... but I did take a picture of the thread certs I used to mount the overflow tank mount on the frame. Alignment Friday morning. I will get some pictures of the stance soon...

 

depends. sometimes the wiring is there (Toyota sometimes just uses the same harness instead of making a diff one). otherwise you gotta run some wires which still isn't that hard.

 

Teal coil gang!

I bet you're chomping at the bit to get out and play.

 

Yessssss... Truck doesn't handle very well at the moment as the TC UCA's have messed up the alignment pretty badly. Friday that gets fixed and then I can start figuring out settings for the rear shocks. Front too I guess. Looking forward to an improved ride on washboard.

 

Lots of depends... If the factory harness is there, pretty easy. I would suggest seeing about purchasing the factory mount as well. You can make something is my guess, or maybe some light manufacturers provide a mount but my experience has been that they like to see something there already. Cutting the hole is probably done best with a hole saw. If you have to wire your own, well... It will take a couple of days is my guess and I would start looking in TC if anyone has done this before and written it up. I have not. Wiring will be straight forward, but you will need a relay and wires going into the cab for a switch as well as a power source. You will want to make a decision as to whether they will be tied to low beam lights or independent and wire appropriately. Fun project.

 

If you don't have wiring let me know I have an aftermarket wiring kit complete with directions.

 

Hard

Easy

 

I was just kinda curious idk if I would do it because it probably would be more asthetic than anything because I am starting to get knit picky with little things on my truck and one of them is that there isn’t fog lights.

 

I noticed on my truck the fogs did a lot to fill in between the headlights and the truck especially after I upgraded to 50w lites on my aftermarket bumper.

 

Dropped a note inquiring on the status of my bumper order. The reply is that it should be in the batch that's anticipated to finish later this week.

 

Lookin' good. Can't wait for March to get here.

Balmy 28 degrees today. CR-V due for an oil change... Life in northern Wisconsin.

 

Looks real nice. Should help with your, bounce this, bounce that, style of driving.
That Teal color sure is pretty.

 

So, as promised the new stance. She has settled a bit-dang those TC uniballs are stiff! Played hell aligning them yesterday. Like it -much more level. Also an image of the rear installation. Used thread certs on both sides for the tanks.

 

Looks nice; but... I enjoy the planning and building too much to just buy someone else's vision. Plus, I get to do it three or four times and spend four times as much!

 

Nice! I get to put a new driveshaft in my boy's Element tomorrow.

At least it will be "warm".

 

It’s at least warm enough here for things to melt a bit. Parked outside to thaw out the truck. Might try and get it washed before it gets below freezing again.

 

Changing diff oil in the front and while looking things over I found a small puncture on the passenger inner CV boot. Yay!! Looking forward to that job....

 

I took my truck to Kwik Trip today for a wash. Truck was black again.
Someone from the store had to come out and reset the wash. The Jeep in front of me screwed things up.
