TomTom's '03 TRD Xtra Cab (SOLD!)

Just do the initial air up then time until the compressor kicks on again.

Reading the ARB paperwork, if it kicks on in less then 15min, you got a leak.

 

Oh well crud I think I may have a leak then.... Ill have to test it.. Did you drive at all or just sit?

And I'm assuming you're locked right?

 

The locker does function. So, it may not be fully engaged since I did it parked in the garage but the line is pressurized.

Silas told me that it shouldn't matter if the wheels are turning or not.

Don't forget, I'm running about 3 feet of hose. You're running about 18, I'd guess. With more hose, you have more loss and can be more prone to nicks and cuts. If you want, we can armor it and in the process find any leaks and fix 'em.

 

yeah that'd be awesome! Your armoring idea is a smart one... I'm always afraid of that line getting torn up, either by debris, weather, oil.. IDK haha

 

If you'll help me get the top plate spacers in this weekend, I'll help you with the locker line.

 

Just get some fuel line a bit bigger than the air line and run it threw. The rubber fuel line will resist a lot more of abuse than that plastic air line. If you run into problems with friction when trying to get it threw all the way just slap some KY or any other water based lube you have laying around on it and it should slip on in like a French hore during WWII.

 

I've got a cool setup that helps protect the nipple at the diff coupled with using regular fuel line.

Ordered the switch panels, ABS plastic sheets, firewall bushing and an electrical bus. Should be in Wed, the 7 so probably not getting it finished up until after you get back.

 

Carling switch panels came in.

 

Picked up some angle steel to fix the skidplate mount on my bumper

 

A couple things to keep working on the electrical installs.

 

Had the truck washed, the interior steam cleaned and detailed and the headlights restored. Octopus Car Wash loved me today.

 

Octopus.

 

Replaces the Wheeler's 10mm top plate spacers with 1/2" ones from Toytec.



All this work for an extra 1/8" of an inch.



Strut back in:



Wheel back on:




And the new ride height:



Went way faster than when I installed the 10mm. I blame the Icon UCAs for making it easier.

 

Nice tire shine, bra.

 

Thanks! Spent $160 at Octopus today getting it detailed. They steam cleaned everything and restored the headlights. Looks almost new again, eh?

And there is still caked up mud in the undercarriage from the last foray into the Puerco.

 

I've never heard of anyone spending that much money at the pus

 

Ya. Not exactly out of a desire for a shiny vehicle. I'm sick again with another sinus infection so I took it in and basically had it sterilized. Had them steam clean the carpets and seats and double clean the interior. Hoping it all dries by morning. Everything is slippery and wet still.

They loved me as soon as I told them all that I wanted.

Getting the carpets in the apartment steam cleaned next friday. Then I'm scheduling to have the ducts cleaned. This ain't going to be cheap.

 

Tomorrow, I'm taking it easy and working on getting off the caffeine. Going to be rough. I might work on the switch layout on the dashboard for a bit.

 

Oh, and the detail manager at Octopus almost busted up the drivetrain. For some reason he shifted it into 4Lo while cleaning it. Then he proceeded to attempt to park it. I was wondering why he kept almost stalling it.
