The day I got her home from vegas.

sweet! I was going to put "future mods" section and you were first in line for sliders/ bumpers haha, now that I have all the side mods done I can start worrying about the expensive stuff

I have a trip to yosemite, and Arizona/ Utah national parks planned for this month, trying to get all this stuff on before I leave! Can't wait! be ready for many pics..

Can a mod fix my title to austinrauh*

 

Got hired to Take pictures of a rad truck for the owner, I guess he got a deal on the grill if he had good pictures taken so that's why he hired a photographer I think.
Not a Taco but hey, stopped and watched the sunrise at Tahoe too on my way up to meet him.

 

Good looking Taco

 

You should be able to edit the thread title

 

thanks! and I just searched and it says a mod has to do the actual title..

 

Awesome rig and pics - me likey!

 

Had a long New Years evening, like every install things we're fighting me and I took time to make sure I did everything correct...
Also got rid of the gold outer rim and painted the wheels satin black, I went with satin because the flat paint I had in before attracted dirt so bad and held it...
But here's some pics




Removing the old crappy plastidip off the roof and hood was a pain in the ass, had to soak it and goo gone and scrape it with a card for forever.... and drilled and siliconed holes for prinsu


Wrapping because of the bad sun fade... truck lived in Vegas and Reno all its life, I don't think previous owner waxed as much as he should of, as a detailer this fading bugs the sh"" out of me so I'm wrapping it to midigate further damage...



Punched weather stripping for prinsu

My list haha

Wiring the switches and backup camera/ Bluetooth mic


For final results see first post in thread!
Had many headaches but everything is cleaned up and in tip top shape!
Also put in the d ring hitch receiver and saudered the over head temp gauge! Pumped that worked! Hasn't worked since I bout the truck haha

Can't wait to throw on the 40" single row and cutout fairing for prinsu rack!
Then I will probably detail her for the Yosemite and Arizona / Utah trip coming up!

 

Looking sweet man - like your wiring work and photography - look forward to seeing more!

 

Thanks man!

 

trip happened a month ago, been busy with Advanced EMT school, but here some video clips in between taking photos! more at insta: @austinrauh

Love it! And nice to see a list of all the patches you have. Where did you get the paint to colormatch your grill?

 

Auto zone dupli color, if you sand, prime, like 4 coats of color, and some clear then wet sand compound polish it, it looks pretty close to factory haha

 

Sweet. It sounds a little more time consuming than i expected, but i'd rather not have the chrome surround on my grill.

 

Yeah I hate the chrome...

"Chrome don't get you home"

 

cleaned up the thread
had a sweet trip to yosemite with the gf
picked up my bamf sliders
found out I need to "fix" my suspension....

Tacoma Yosemite pics

Katie had got a groupon to stay in a hotel at fish camp in january, but on our way the rain was so bad that it made a mudslide over i80, so we rescheduled for march. (she works wed-sunday so we have to leave on sunday after work (around 4pm) So we took off and it just so happened to be another bad snow storm, I80 was closed all morning then they changed it to snow tire/ chain control about an hour before she got off, so I had everything packed and prepped and when she got home we took off, took us about 3 hours to get to sacramento, basically doubling our entire travel time (I joke we could have gone to the Tetons haha) but we made it to Mariposa around 12 (I had a camp site in Yosemite Valley Upper Pines but they cancels all reservations because of falling tree danger.. got a refund) We were going to sleep in the shell setup anyways so we found a comfortable spot and went straight to bed. Woke up and went into the valley and stayed for sunset at tunnel view which was great. Then headed for fish camp, we had to go all the way back out to twin pines because the road going to the hotel was closed because of construction, so again a half hour drive turned into 2 hours because of snow/ construction. Stayed in a awesome hotel (I would go back) and then ate breakfast and started for the Bay Area, made it to BAMF around 2 then went home to Reno! It was a quick trip but necessary before I have finals and fire season starts again! Ill add more pictures as I edit them.

 

Installed BAMF bolt on sliders
Bought new cv axle (autozone lifetime warranty!
And changed my front diff and transfer case fluid!

 

today I had to remove my window tint up front, got a ticket for it being 6% when legal is 35%....
also there was a squeak from front passenger for a while, thought it was brakes, replaced brakes and rotor and it was still there... squeak stopped and changed to grinding sound, no bueno.. well I took pff the wheel and the rotor had a ton of side to side and up and down play, cv, steering, ball joints were all fine. removed the rotor and it was obvious that it was the hub bearing(when moving it by hand, the bearing feels terrible), now i search to get a new one.

 

When was the squeak happening?
