    I'm guessing yours is still running like the day you bought it too? I'm super impressed with this 4 banger. Hasn't skipped a beat

    Hoping mine lasts that long. I don't have high expectations of the 3rd gens though. Seems Toyota may not be of the caliber it once was. But time will tell.

    Have you had any problems with yours thus far? Other than when they first released the third gens, they seem to be pretty trouble free after they ironed out all the little problems with the new motor. If all else fails, and yours craps out, you could always trade it in on a gen 2!;)

    Great build! What all can you power with the solar panel? How is it holding up to keeping the aux battery charged? I just moved to Arizona last year and considering running a solar panel as well with all of the sun we get here practically all of the time.

    Thanks man! I run an ARB 50qt fridge continuously (keep it at about 40 degrees F) and it never has a hard time keeping up, even on cloudy days, so im guessing it would work even better out where youre at. I also use the auxillary battery to run my dome light in my camper shell and i have an inverter wired up back there for when i need some ac power. I dont use the inverter for much besides charging my phone or hooking up a speaker to listen to some music whenever im outside working on the truck, but it ive also used the aux battery to run my viar 88p. All in all, a great setup and perfect for my needs. Let me know if you have any other questions!

    Either those problems are overblown or I've been fortunate. No problems here, so far.





    Knock on wood.

    Got the 295s put on yesterday. They rub the front of the UCAs ever so slightly at 100% lock, but its clear up to about 95% turned, so im not running spacers. Gas mileage took a big dump, but damn i love the way it looks:headbang:

    Haven't posted any updates lately, but have been working on the truck quite a bit. Got new front brakes, rotors, extended brake lines, and hubs/wheel bearings. Glad to finally have the truck back in good working order. Did the passenger hub yesterday and finished up the driver's side yesterday after work.
