    Got one of these..
    [​IMG]Mixed some Purple power with water, cover alternator with plastic grocery bag and sprayed everything making sure not to drench any electronics. As long as you only lightly get any wires/plugs wet you will be fine. then filled the pump with just water to rinse off...i use the pump because you can be more precise than a pressure washer. And since i dont use a pressure washer it sometimes involves scrubbing to get rid of some dirt.

    i plan on finishing off the triangle in the hood, i only ordered 4 meters* of LED flex strips needed the fifth.

    *total, 1 meter per side in the bed and each strip in the hood is a meter.

    Factory first gen is 60" WMS-WMS
    T100 is 63"
    Second gen is 65"
    Tundra is 66"







    I went with the Tundra. I got a stupid good deal on it. God Bless retards on craigslists. :D
    The kit I have up front is +7" Having the rear slightly narrower will help on turns and trails.

    Yea i knew that the front was super wide. Have read this helps even the look back out.

    Were you planning on it? or just happened? lol seems with the narrow idea a T100 or Taco axle would be best..

    can you put a 2nd gen axle in a 1st??

    My truck is fucking front wheel drive right now. I needed an axle. I was planning on a Ford 9". If I can make that fucker fit, I can make anything fit. And yes, you can make a 2nd gen work. You just have to convert the 2 separate brake lines to a single drop with a T.

    Since I'm so wide up front (67"), I wanted to ditch the wheel spacers on the rear and have something closer to the same WMS. The Tundra axle fits the bill perfectly.

    yea i like the tundra idea..can't remember who i saw first do that..Mikesdouble cab i think?..what i want to run when i get LT up front just so that the rear won't be so narrow. Hopefully the glass bedsides can hold my rack :eek:

    Blackhawk has the Tundra axle too.
    I can tell you for fact, if you are keeping the bed, the glass doesn't support any weight at all. I stand on mind and throw shit on it all the time. The bed itself supports the weight.
