F103, if you want the nipple to connect a hose,

$37 F103N with LC-10 lever clip FN-Series Engine Oil Drain Valve, 1 Pack

F103N

 

got my locking hubs installed
also welded up some spindle gussets.

 

Boo f**king Hoo to all of you. My 2015 has 21K on it and I have two other daily drivers and another Tacoma. Plus my commute is going down one flight of stairs.

 

@paranoid56 Do you have the part numbers or location you got those locking hubs from?

 

Damn, $8 is barely half of the minimum wage around here, but even at $15 an hour, you can barely get a one bedroom apartment. We own a duplex next door that has 2 two bed, two baths. We easily get $3k per unit.

 

What all did u have to do to get it to fit?

 

Gains, if any, won't be significant.

 

Heading to my first "Cars and Coffee" in a minute.

 

Cleaned up the wiring for the compressor, me and my buddy rushed it and used *gasp* white zip ties. Redone with black for amazingness.



Modified my Slee off road ARB twin mount, so that it will allow me to run an airline to the back of the truck.



Installed the Slee mount after modification.



Ran an airline from the compressor to the rear bed box, same spot my diff breather is mounted.



Running that airline, WITHOUT cleaning the underside of the truck 1st was not the right idea. My eyes ate like 3 lbs of dirt. Even with a full face mask on.

 

Swapped stock 3.73 gears for Motive Gear 4.10's. With 33"'s, just a tic lower gearing than stock with stock rubber. Hopefully a decent compromise when the day comes I put 35's on 'er. All checks OK. 125 mile road test! Probably 30 miles of that on dirt/gravel roads in 4wd to check front end. Low range and locker AOK!

 

Thing is still apart waiting for a bolt to come in.
Replaced the stock rear leafs, added a pro comp AAL this time to try, replaced the U bolts, replaced the 5100 rears with new ones, changed the rear diff fluid using

$30 75w-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)

75w-90 Amsoil, changed the winters with summers, painted all the parts with black rust paint and a bunch of clear coat. Then added a bunch of fluid film to the parts to keep them from rusting

 

I bet some joy dishwashing liquid would do the trick, just wash the area thouroughly with it, rinse it good, then wax it really good. Joy is a degreaser, but is also great for contaminent issue, sticker residue, grease or oil thrown up on a vehicle, but its important to wax it afterwards.

 

Finished installing my SCS F5 17x9 with Toyo M/T 35x12.5R17


Had to hammer the pinch weld back and cut more of the cab mount. Also trimmed the fenders and bedsides

 

I'm editing the video now, but here is a quick tease for what I saw today at Cars & Coffee:

 

That ain't mud.

 

Swapped out the plain Toyota emblem with a sweet Model T emblem. Also last look of truck before leveling kit goes in this week

 

Modified the seat bracket, then bolted to a new custom racing seat bracket. Had to transfer over stock seat harness/seatbelt socket/rail position sensor to FRS seat, as well as stock airbag connector. And fabricate a new seat position sensor rail out of some steel sheet.

 

That thing is going to become an awesome projectile in a wreck. I'd do something else with it.

Yeah, apparently cleavage is too much but ass cheeks in thongs is all good
Don't get me wrong, I love them both but this site confuses me sometimes.

 

Yeah seriously. That's why I thought it was odd, because there's plenty of other risqué avatars around here.
