i may or may not be running retreads i claim the FIZZIFTH!

sucks about your bumper though. hopefully insurance gets your truck fixed quick

 

Thinking this:


This truck is getting built waaaay faster than I ever intended.

I suspect is has more than a little to do with this website.

 

great choice of bumper....

 

yeah, happens to the best of us.

i'm definitely a fan of that bumper. should protect pretty well from those pesky flying tires too

 

+1 for this bumper. No complaints so far, great fit once you get it shimmed.

 

Damn! I should have just seen if you could get it and bring it back up when you get back to FoCo. Traffic sucked a huge one coming back from the springs. it tool almost 4 hours and I had to pee.

 

Already took some test vids (totally not while in traffic) and now home uploading them. Been a long day so some chilled crown went with the uploads.

 

If you haven't signed anything I'd go with the better deal. That's the point of having multiple dealerships is to get the best price and fit for you.

 

If I didn't sign anything and another dealer beat the price I would have no problem going with the cheaper price. Maybe tell that dealer and see what they can do.

 

i'd say go for the better deal. if it is bothering you to the point of feeling like a dick then i would go to the first dealership and tell them you were offered a better deal and that they should match it.

if they won't match it then you can tell them you tried to keep your business there and THEY weren't willing to play ball, then bail.

 

Do you think for a second that they would turn down someone's higher offer for "your" truck if you didn't have anything signed?

That should give you your answer.

 

Lol used to be the official parts mule on Ttora since I went back and forth so often.

 

you mean to flash when you unlock/lock, just run a relay of your mid lights (the ones that flash when locking/unlocking)and run a switch. I have my Hella 500s wired like that

 

I also want them on separate on/off switches so I can turn everything in individually. They won't stay on with my headlights right?

 

no the way I have it/suggested you can do it they run off midlights. So headlights off midlights on you can have them on, when you turn off the midlights they go off. Run a switch to turn them off when you dont need them, example while normal driving you need them off. Id do it but have no rock lights :/

reasons to run off midlights
they turn off with midlights automatically
they flash when unlocking/locking
run a switch and they can be off like nothing is there

 

This would be why I get OEM part for critical functions. I wish I knew what Toyota uses for material on their parts. Shit seems to last forever in some cases.

Most likely a semi truck retread. I have never heard of a Treadwright coming apart. At least not yet. Look at Pelfreybilt bumpers too. They build nice ones for you newer front end.

This^^^ Dealers do business and their #1 goal is... profit. Use the new deal as leverage.

That about covers it but if you want them to come on independent of all other lights you need to run a second set of wiring to them for direct source of power.

 

Eric, do I put the square spacers back on with the all pro skid? The ones that come off with the OEM skid

 

With Diff Drop I would say yes you need them. Take some pics of the finished product.
