    I did mine on sat and every time I do it I get brown water out. I pump them until grease comes out of every side

    Installed hood lifts from Redline Tuning. I really don't like messing with the hood prop and it's in the way for most work.

    The install was easy and took about an hour.

    Installed BAMF bolt on sliders. They are subtle looking which I like. Seem plenty strong too. I went with the bolt on because I was concerned about the weld-ons and frame warranty. I've never read where Toyota got pissy about welding on the frame, but I didn't want to be the test case.

    I am looking at getting the same for the same reason as I don't want to test Toyota by welding to the frame.

    Recently found a steel Delta gull lid crossover box, model 902000, on closeout for $50. Painted it with Rustoleum and mounted it yesterday. Waited until I could wash the road salt and dirt off of the truck today to take pictures. Since I don't really need to carry loads of things in the bed of the truck and need secure storage outside of the cabin area more, giving up bed room isn't a problem.

    now that I put my Dakar pack back to the full pack, I needed to level the truck again so I removed my 1/4 spacers and put back in the 1/2 inch spacers with my OME 885s. Works awesome with the LR UCAs.

    See my build thread!
    Looks good! Been considering these for my Taco. Are those the 80" or 96" version?

    So I finally removed sway bar. I expected it to be really "loose" like my JK was when I would disengage my sway bar. NOT AT ALL. Honestly I can hardly tell difference. Hard turns, hard braking on turns, off ramps all good. It actually does ride smoother. I guess the 885s and nitrochagers compensate.
