    Went out last weekend to Vedder mtn for a group run with a few guy from my local club. Finally got to test my sliders out, which ended up being a life saver for my rocker panel.

    Little Update

    Went to Hut lake, completed the lower and upper part of the trail. IMG_1446.jpg
    IMG_1450.jpg
    Ended up tearing off my front bumper and dented my passengers fender. I also order a new bumper later that day.


    Went to a meet at my local 4 wheel parts. They had the ramp out, so I gave it a shot.

    So a lot has happen since the last time I update this.

    First off, I got a proper set of skids on the truck from BCC. I also got rid of the stock headunit and got, a kenwood double din with apple care play. Then, I got a magnaflow muffler welded in. Lastly, I finally got a smittybilt x20 winch with synthetic line.

    It’s being a long time since I’ve updated this and I’ve done a bit to the truck.

    First off I changed out my rear leafs as they went flat. I found out that I could fit Dodge Ram leaf from a 94-01 4x4 in with my current shackle fit.

    Before and After

    Next I add a 65 watt Kenwood tm281a vhf in.
    9E252665-8963-4A17-B57D-98BFD1E51F05.jpg

    I also blacked out the shrouds on my headlights and bought new tires. Kinda wish now that I would have went 35’s though.

    I also got a smoking deal on a annex room for my rtt

    I also upgraded my front speakers and added a subwoofer. There is probably other things that I did to the truck but forgot about.

    So I finally got feed up with the Toyota elocker actuator after going though 3 in 4 years and decided to converted mine to cable. It costed a whopping $50 and some scrap metal, as well as 8 hours of my time.

    While I was tinkering around with my locker my brother got bored and decided to make my truck a dual battery kit.
