Ontario BS Thread

I drove mine and it didn’t blow up! Was nice to drive it after about a month of working on it off and on. One more month of hell at work and I can relax!

 

Nice and shiny.
Everything you did so far I want to do.
If you ever need a side job let me know....

 

You did just hear this took me a month....lol.

 

Yea but it was fun. And you like doing this stuff. And your a tacoma holic hahaha.

Just kidding. I know the head ache.

I use my truck everyday so 1 or 2 days down is all I can do.
I can't imagine month.....

 

Haha. Your are starting to sound like @Norilsk.

I don’t know if me getting a daily driver was helpful for the truck or not. Lol. One hand it gets less miles. On the other, it gets cut up a lot.

 

It happened to me already.
Pretty soon your have a dana 60 and a 14 bolt. Than a diesel truck and trailer.....lol.

 

I swamped my truck a number of years back at Ardbeg. Feel your pain. Had to strip the interior and pressure wash the carpeting.

Within a year, I also had to replace my starter and alternator.

 

Licence plate relocation hopefully it will not bend ever again...a little before and after pic

 

Speaking of EZliner, this shit is great

 

Guys can you put that on wood?
I have a wood.box in the back but it's not waterproof.
Looks good.

 

should have put in on an angle like the old 90s trucks

But it looks great, riv-nuts straight to the tailgate?

I have 4 of those tall blue bins and it seems to hold just fine
If it breaks, i can request a new on from the city. But i cant see why you can't use it on wood.

 

Riv nuts?. I grew up at jane and finch bro.
Self.tappers. hood all the way.

The blue thing is my water jug.

 

Finished making an interface harness.
Took the Beatsonic one that has a jumper adapter that goes in behind the stereo to add a front Camera.
And added even more wires, ACC+with and inline fuse, to go out to the Spod Bantam to turn things on when the truck turns on.
Rev Signal to turn on shit with the Bantam when the truck backs up,
8 more switch wires that can go the the Bantam so I can use factory looking switches with it instead of their non-factory looking button pod.

Cut up an old fridge drawer and used the plastic and painted it black to make a mounting plate for the breakers at the battery.Good enough until I get some better material.
(used my new rivnut gun)
(you can see I was out of washers and had to improvise)

 

those are the most professional looking washers i've ever seen

 

Swapped out the no-name AliExpress LED headlight bulbs in the Subaru with hand-me-downs from the Taco. Both use H11s. The Taco LED bulbs were dealer-installed. According to the packaging, they're Xenon Depot "Xtreme LED Pro" bulbs.



The LEDs on the XD bulbs measure 4.14 mm wide. The AliExpress bulbs have dome lenses over the LEDs. Width is 12.07 mm over the lenses, and 6.65 mm over the LEDs, much worse than the XD bulbs. According to this thread, narrower is better to approximate the halogen bulb filament size.



Installed. Mud on the wires is probably from VMUTS.

 

Nice professional work.....

 

It's June! Flipping calendar...

 

Holy fack! That's your truck, isn't it?

 

thanks for reminding me, i haven't flipped mine over in 2 months


when do i get an autograph?

 

Oh aren't you just parading around all proud like...




I know you're Uncle was happy, representing the motherland so well,
