Are those tundra wheels?

 

Never mind they're 5x5 not 4.5 they won't fit. No biggie i got them to flip anyway, $100 for 5 new tires with rims.

 

Thanks guys, I think I'll go with a new head unit w back up camera, then heated seat covers next time they are on sale.

 

The parking looks innocent enough, but my exhaust tip was about a half inch off the ground and the left rear tire was sitting on half it's tread width (just barely). This was at a Hearts & Hammers project, earlier this month. I never should've shown up with proper gear & ready to work... Got a new job out of it, and now the painful re-entry of construction work after a 16 year hiatus. Started up yesterday, moving about 200, 300-500Lb. 6-8'' thick concrete paving stones through sand. To say the very least, it was quite the challenge for two of us, but we endured and I feel very old.

Also, on a side note, I've been getting a lot of compliments on how nice and clean my truck is. Which is unexpected, because I thought people up here only like broken things with a nice green moss/mold patina...

 

I found better pics. Hope they help.

 

Nothing for a week. How is a man to take a shit if I have no material to read. Well I sit on the thrown. So I'll throw this at you... Made better use of the sun glasses holder .

 

So this is what they mean when they say distracted driving lmao

 

You pronounced it wrong it called multi-tasking.

 

You guys have a sunglass holder 0_o

 

Actually pretty smart placing up there - can't really be playing with them being located up there while driving, unless you got another set of eyeballs up your nostrils.

I've taken more of a more kludged approach with my tablet/cell combo. Bonus points given for pretty much blocking out the environmental controls with the RAM mount setup, and amplifying the distraction factor further.

An idea i had to make a slider over the radio to hold the tablet - either lift the slider up or hinge forward to access the radio - requires access to a 3D printer.. i'm sure it could be done.

 

At least we know how much boost William runs in his engine.

 

Boost is non existent.

 

Well today I cleaned the air line and compressor and silanoid off oil for a second time . And did the five minute leak down test and no compressor turn on so the seals seem to hold air and has new axle breather valve witch was working not clogged .the first time this happened there was a clogged breather valve so when it happen this time . I'm puzzled. I guess I'll see how long it takes for the oil to show up for a third time. So if you think you want one of these plan to. Deal with some BS. Well I was in there I took some pics of the compressor setup. First pic is the box I made for comp. you can see the oil on the bottom. Second pic is the cubby hole in the bed were I put it all. Third pick is comp. in cubby. Fourth pic is a top view. Last pick is it going back in. Last pics are of oil from cleaning and oily compressor.

 

Since it is a compressor maybe adding one of these backwards in the line.

 

Shouldn't have any oil getting past the seals in locker. Some people have to change seals 2,3 times before they stop letting oil pass. It takes about 30 min to clean . I thought about one of those and even a check valve but the air has to go both ways. The silanoid gets clogged so it doesn't ingauge (lock) and disingauge (unlock)properly. But after I cleaned it . it work just like it supposed to . I'm thinking maybe cause the compressor is almost level with the pumpkin that Gravity is allowing it to pass and not pressure maybe the setup has to be elevated higher so it's harder for the oil to get to the silanoid .guess. I'll just have to buy some seals and change them next time not going to send it back for warranty it's not worth it .

 

I'd contact arb because it's pretty stupid it's not working

 

They'll fix it it's under warranty. But I have to take it out of truck, box it , pay to send it back. Wait for eastcoastgear to change seals , send back to me . Then reinstall. So it's faster and cheaper to just do it myself. It's just sockets and sealant. No pressing tools. Just it's kinda not so cool anymore. If you have to do this stuff to have one.

 

Added a second fan this week. So the left is a 12",and the right is a 10" took about 2 hrs. Just felt I needed more air movement.
