Bought a ultra gauge with the group buy on here and realy like that its paid for itself many times with seeing what the check engine light is coming on for.

The next thing i did was the fog light mod. i love it makes it look much better and everybody stares at me at night that drives a tacoma cuz their like why are his blinkers different then mine, its pretty funny.

Got half of the lift kit in the mail today from wheelers yesterday =]

got the rest of the kit in monday so sweet!

 

Installed the extened rear brake line last night in about a hour and a half with bleeding...in the dark....in the rain...at night... lol not a fun experence but i wanted to get it done before next weekend when i install the whole lift. after retopping of the fluid in the brake booster. the brake light stayed on but i drove about a mile and the light went off so thats good. the brake pedal feels a lil stiffer aand more responsive with the new ss line. i like..

 

put these on today, thanks sockey monkey

 

another pic

 

nice truck I like the exhaust a lot!! is that legal where you are ? it's considered straight piped with that isn't it? I want to make mine sound like that but still have some kind of muffler in there any idea what I could do? if you could post some pictures of it too that'd be sweet!

 

Yea it's considered straight pipe but I still got my cats though. All I did was cut the muffler off and weld in a peice of pipe. Pretty simple. One thing u could do witch I did, is buy a flow master super 10 off road muffler. It's a small single chamber muffler that sounds awsome. When I get headers and high flow cats itl be way to loud for straight pipes so I'm gana put one of those mufflers on.

 

In the dark..in the rain... lol
Thats how it always goes down! I installed my full OME outside on a stone driveway...the day before this past Superbowl. The kicker was the temp never got above 11f Its was cold as a polar bears ass. And the sun seem to set way early that day. Anyway

Nice build so far! Keep the pictures coming.

 

Yea that's how it always works, I'm installing the lift kit right now this weekend on a concrete slab. Got the whole front end ripped apart now tomorow the new stuff goes on il post pics of the work next week some time.

 

can you do a right up on how you did the fog light mod? or is it just the switch back bulb?

 

What I did was take the corner marker light out and switch the wires around very simple this way but makes u have hyper blinking so I bought some bigger bulbs and that solved the problem and also got some clear bulbs for the new fog lights. The hardest part was getting the wire shroud and tape off of the wires to switch them

 

Well I got it aligned today and it wasn't outa spec that much at all toe and camber were a little high but not bad and it only costed $100. And the tech was cool and let me watch him do it. He was also impressed with my exhaust

 

mmm your exhaust <3

 

I know mmmmm

 

400 left on my payment for good. Then I can do whatever I want with my truck first thing is headlights and muffler! Either fm super 44, 10, or magnaflow 14"

 

Super10 ftw!

 

looking good

 

don't want it to be too loud though

 

Thanks nick. Eric I use to have sticker on the back of my true dual straight piped dodge ram in big letters that said, LOUD PIPES SAVES LIFES

 

Yeah I have seen that sticker many places haha . yesterday at napa the parts store I was asking for some more bolts for my skidplate and I didn't have them on hand i forgot them at home so I was trying to tell the guy how small they were and he said it can't be a skidplate if the bolts are that small, but no surprise it's a toyota"

But yeah, I am going to do my muffler as soon as my trucks payed off
