Also got the BAMF CMC plates on with help


Then ground down a little and painted, not pictures

 

About 3 years ago, I purchased and installed a 250A alternator from CAE in Van Nuys, CA. Well, today I removed it and re-installed my OEM 140A alternator, because I was having problems with the 250A this past weekend. Basically, the battery light turned on and then fluctuated while I was out in the desert. I also observed via my ScanGuage that the voltage level of the primary battery was jumping around from as high as 13.7v to as low as 11.2v. This was looking like a voltage regulator failure. Bummer because I planned on camping out Sunday night, but I didn't want to take the risk being in the middle of nowhere with this problem.

Anyway, with the old one back in, things look good so far. I think I'll take the 250A alternator back to CAE and see if I can swap it out for another one or if they can sell me a new voltage regulator.

 

Finally spent some coin on an aluminum bumper, CBI Moab 2.0 and I didn't have to wait 6weeks for it either!! Got lucky through PFadventures.

 

That’s a damn good looking bumper

 

Thank you! Now that’s an idea as well!

 

I like it!

 

Just had my 2015’s dash Nav unit replaced under warranty. Lucky as it ends in just under 2 months. Toyota mentioned that this seems to be an apparent issue with this units as I was the second person in that day for a full replacement. The unit would just go into a freeze screen when plugged in via usb as well as fully restart the head unit once and a while. Interested to see if anyone else has had this issue or if they’ve heard from there dealer that this is an apparent problem

 

Took the dremel to the inner fender wells in the front and cut those big bumpy looking things off that my 285/70 17s where rubbing on .

 

Put a bead of silicone around new headlights before they get installed too

 

Finally got around to replacing the old oxidized headlights. What an improvement

 

Just replaced my sun scorched headlights with some beautiful lights from TacomaBeast. Contacted the company and received $100 off using promo code EXCLUSIVE https://tacomabeast.com/collections...-projector-headlights-light-bar-drl-version-2
They were easy to install, plug and play minus the DRL bar which was an easy mod.

Got to use my truck for truck stuff for the first time in a while, when if it's just carrying a mattress 400 miles

 

Sexy as hell....what model Dometic is that?

 

It's the CFX-40. After seeing the size in person I knew it was perfect. Actual storage space is 40 quarts vs the 45 quarts I'm used to in my cooler, but since I won't have ice it should be a wash.

 

Thats nice - You running dual battery or just all off the engine bay?

 

All off the main battery. I have an Optima 31M deep cycle battery which is more than up to the task. Eventually I'll add a solar panel since they're fairly inexpensive, and I can just leave the fridge on all the time. For now I'll only turn it on when I need it.
