Welded JD fab spindle gussets and double shear tabs last night.

 

Super impressed with it!

 

There are two holes on the very front that need to be drilled with an 11mm or 7/16 drill bit. You need those two holes so you can install the provided two M8 rivet nuts.



ALL other anti-tampering T40 M8 cap screw match factory blank locations.

There are a total of 16 anti-tampering T40 M8 cap screws that come with the kit. You only use 6 to mount it to the frame.

Pretty clean and straightforward installation.

How much you pay for those? I wanna get a set soon.

 

Fixed vacuum hose on t-case, just sliced a small bit off the hose and shoved it back on. Started painting skid plates. Pulled two broken skid plate bolts out of the truck. Snapped one of the mounts off of course. I'll probably just throw a nut on the back of it when I reinstall.

 

Oil and Filter on a sunny day

 

$460 after tax.

 

Finally got around to putting my printed

$90 Midland 75-822 40 Channel CB-Way Radio

Midland 75-822 clip mount in the truck. Now to re-run the antenna cable to the passenger foot well.

 

Getting everything in order to clean the MAF and Throttle bottle and PCV valve. I noticed the MAF is only like 10 dollars more than the spray... Wouldnt it just be easier to replace the MAF than clean it? Am I missing something? That's what I'm going to do with the PCV valve

 

Added 75 horses today, I rule!
In all seriousness, I dig the way it looks, sounds and the tickle it gives my butt dyno, it does feel as if there’s a bit more pep.


Also, my TRD cat back sounds more lively.
Super satisfied with the aFe intake!
Oh, and I snatched this bitch up new for $275 with free shipping.

I ordered some bitchin decals to customize it a bit too, will post once they arrive.

Edit:
There is a bit of a gap between the fender well and the box intake hole, not much but enough to slip a finger through around some parts. Bought some weather stripping foam and sealed that nonsense off.

 

Line-X'd the dusty old canopy

 

Nothing major, just added a white ajt knob for my 4x4 switch. Wanted white to differentiate it a bit, and cause I can..... next up is 12-15 oem tails, and hopefully more interior parts. Just need to find a crashed accesscab tacoma.

 

If you have access to a 3d printer and want to cover up that chrome plastic piece on the top of the boot, I modeled up this a while back:

Terrible picture, but you get the gist.

 

I dont have a 3d printer, that looks sick though!

 

What is the Kazoo noise? I've heard this mentioned a few times on the forum.
Edit: Just saw some other posts asking same question with a video. Interesting.

 

If you don’t have it, you’re lucky!!

 

The kazoo is terrible. Luckily its an easy fix supposedly whether you buy the re-engineered weather strips or the cheaper solution. The noise is terrible though. I first experienced it leaving the tire shop the day after I bought my truck thinking there was a critical failure happening lol. You have to have all windows cracked or the radio volume at 45 to drone it out or get rid of it. Between it and the super white paint I almost traded in my truck before I realized there was a solution. That being said I only really notice it on the freeway. My current commute doesn't use the freeway but my new commute later this month will have me fixing the issue later this month I'm sure.
