    what was the code #?

    I have had 2 check engine light codes come on this last week,

    First was p0120: bad Throttle position sensor. replaced $50.

    Second was today p0440: Checked my gas cap and cleared it..

    but I will go through the truck tomorrow and check for other signs of wear.

    The code was for the MAF sensor when i had it checked about a month ago. The exact code is in my truck which im not with. I'll bring it to the shop tomorrow and hopefully I can get it fixed. It dying in the middle of driving was terrible haha

    I think I might look into that! Does in accurately track your mph too? Mines off from the 33's i think.

    Been building this for a while. Welds are half good half shit but it is strong enough for me. The bike mounts didn't like being welded on though..no idea why. The welds just look like straight poo and other ones I did before that looked great. Might be the metal or something I assumed they're steel and not some alloy or anything. Lights are going to e ordered for it soon and maybe a cb

    Got my all-pro bumper powdercoated. Here it was the day it arrived.
    IMG_0895-1_2a7846b43627d9af7febad99dbfe41f314c639d7.jpg

    Bumper and coilovers installed. I'll get a better pic of bumper.

    Next up is my rear replacements. Ordered OME Dakars, 5125's, OME greaseable shackles and bushings, and some new U-bolts.

    Suby claybar'd and waxed:

    I'll get some real pics when everything is installed tomorrow. Coilovers were super easy to install, took maybe 2 hours. Bumper was another story. It was all warped(I think it was too hot when welded) so it never fit right. Had to grind my frame and the bumper for an hour and beat it on... Any suggestions for some offroad lights under 200 bucks?
