1/19/13 Installed a pioneer head unit from my old truck

1/25/13 Changed the plugs/wire and F/R differential oil along with transfer case oil and greased the (5) zerks I found on the driveshaft. Used valvoline 75-90wt gl-5 synthetic. 5 qts roughly.

Ok thats enough of those trip pictures.

 

1/26/14 Changed the oil @ 145K with 5-30 mobil 1 and napa gold filter and greased my driveshaft and stopped the 'pop' it was making from the slip joint

1/26/14 Finally started on my lift, ordered 5100 and eibachs and U bolts from wheelers offroad, they put candy in the box too

Hey man, good looking start to a build! What kind of gas mileage do you get?

 

What are your billsteins set at?

 

Lowest setting (bottom) with eibach coils

3/14/14 Installed a 1/4" driver side spacer to correct my taco lean also installed a diff drop while I was at it.

3/15/14 Pulled up the bedliner to remove the rocks and dirt and wash underneath.

My factory alloys are SUPER funky dirty NOT remotely shiny/clean. How could I clean them?

 

3/21/14 Installed a BAMF BPV relocation bracket $21 shipped with grade 8 bolts super well biult

Spray painted it with silver paint from.my header install

 

Looks awesome! I also have a 99 4 cylinder ext cab but mine is a prerunner. Those billies and eibachs lifted the front every bit of 3" it looks like. Know anything about OME? I want to get new shocks and coils but I don't quite want 3 inches in the front, something around 2-2.5 since I probably won't lift the rear. Have any recommendations?

 

Thanks! I think the 881 is the one your looking for (I think). Call wheelersoffroad they're helpful.

The mod bug but again tinted the windows and picked up a new.pcv.vavle and.o ring

 

Ok, I will give them a call! Thanks
