new water cans (2). these will be mounted on the inside of the bed, up against the tailgate, where the reinforcements are:

Gear Box. I'll leave this in the bed all the time, loaded with my recovery gear, air compressor, tools, and camping supplies (this will free up space behind and under the rear seats, then plan on getting a MOLLE panel behind the 40 split in the rear for the boom sticks:

should be good after that.. things will change obviously if I ever get bumpers.

 

not with that attitude! lol it will all work out man. we will be camping, wheeling, and shooting just like the old times.. in no time. lol

 

How did you decide on that stove??? I'm trying to get a new one before rug rd but I'm having a hard time choosing. I'm liking camp chefs stoves though. Look stout.

 

Was originally going to get another Coleman model, and was comparing the Colemans to the Camp Chefs.. decided on the Coleman as it was the same price as the other Camp Chef we were looking at, but this new Coleman does it all. its flexible so it can be all burners, all grill tops, or both. allows for larger pots and pans since it doesnt need the sides to block the wind. plus.. it has the stand.

 

Gotta love all the parking back home!

 

I like to lurk this build. What's refreshing the headlights, tail lights, and HU? Detailing/repairing the glass?

 

You Bastard. Lol

Yeah pretty much. The headlights havent been touched in about 3 or 4 years.. Slowly gathering dust on the inside, because I never put the black rubber boots back on on the back side of the housings.. just need to crack em open again and clean em up.

The tail lights im going to replace with the true, all black housings. They updated them after I bought mine.

The headunit, just gonna replace eventually with a new model Pioneer. One from their NEX lineup.

 

Cause without this your not a storm trooper

 

Lol what's wrong with lurking??
Okay I see. Nice! I thought you meant refreshing without replacing.

Could you go into some more detail about your valve body upgrade? I noticed the shift point was no longer at redline, and maybe even a little faster? What makes it like "adding adding supercharger to your supercharger"?

Speaking of that comment, I read up on the UCON ems. That is awesome!! Hellishly expensive but if I already had all the mods you had, I'd do it too.

 

Lol Nothin at all man!

Yeah, the valve body upgrade definitely speeds up shifts. It shaved a full second off of Wertys 1/4 time.

 

What about yours? Did it change any of your times?

 

Dont have any official numbers, but the butt dyno approves. Shifts are FIRM and much quicker. No delay/lag between shifts, it's just consistent pull now.

 

sounds worthwhile
I admire your build, I'd like to copy it with a 12-15 one day

 

Paired with a s/c it definitely is.

I appreciate that sir.

I would love to start over with that year of taco as well, everything the same as now.

 

Minus a couple things, and changes this is sort of the build I was planning to go with lol. Gotta wait until body shop is done fixing the thieves **** ups...and then I can start on my own The black/white combo just is so damn clean.
