    Didn't drive it anywhere yet. Today was .5cm/h snow all day here. We must of got 25+ cm again today

    Just from my neighbors shop to my house, 200 meters.

    But I can see there is a larger gap between the bumpstop and stop point.

    I am excited to drive it, might go to town tomorrow

    Ya you are totally right, the UTE bed feels like you don't have a bed on the truck.

    I need to get some weight back there. She is very very light.

    I was going to remove my sliders, and skid plates to save weight. Now I do not think I am going that route.

    It feels so light now :facepalm:

    Yesterday we redid the rear brakes.

    I am not far out from the yellow sticker. Rear brakes were the only big issue.

    Stupid parking brake cables, both sides need to be replaced. I could not get them in time, so we did the rears anyway. Gotta take it all back apart to put those on in 2 weeks :rofl:



    Got the counter sunk long bolts I needed to put the headache rack inset in. Looking even better.

    :transformer:

    Got busy tonight making a custom bed matt for this slick as butter aluminum flatty.


    Not done zip tieing it all together yet, but it's looking pretty good for free.

    Worked tonight on getting the slight miss fire narrowed down. It just showed up last week.


    Cylinder 6 looking good for the culprit.

    Will replace the plug and see if that fixes it. Got 1 coil today as well, incase the plug doesn't get er done.

    She gone be purring again soon.

    All fixed, the plug was gapped like a hotdog down a hallway. Changed out the coil as well, just as a trouble shooting measure. Will keep the original coil for the same purpose now, since it was working fine.

    Doing the rest of the plugs maybe Friday if I have enough time.

    These mirrors are great so far, barely vibrate. Can see everything now.

    We will see how long they last.

    Got both parking brake cables replaced today, that was a hellva installation procedure.

    List remaining for commercial yellow sticker:

    1.) Air bag sensor for driver seat position needs the cables repinned and plugged back in.

    2.) Sway bar needs to go back on. Just need 4 bolts M10 x1.25 - 20mm long

    Purchased:
    $12 Hard-to-Find Fastener 014973267315 Flange Bolts, 10mm-1.25 x 20mm, Piece-6
    https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00L1IQ9IC?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image

    I am forced to buy things like this on Amazon, my city has no where to get odd bolts easily. It was a struggle to find the ones I needed for the flatbed. No more struggling, just doing.


    3.) Side marker lights needs to be wired up, have everything we need already.

    A commercial yellow sticker, for a Tacoma? I guess it's due to the flatbed.
