I have other places that require my finances before extra lights on the taco, but those roadshock ones look cool. I like being able to put the amber lens on.

 

Some new shiny bits showed up today!!!

 

Man… it’s been awhile. Life has been CRAZY busy trying to get ready for baby girl #2.

I finally got the new rack installed with the 333 Clamp and new bushings. I just did a quick string alignment in the garage. It drives SO MUCH BETTER! I didn’t realize how bent my stock mount was.

 

I also replaced the crappy factory headlights with clear lens with acme projectors/ morimoto HID’s relays. I should have done this YEARS ago!

 

So much better.

 

Well…. One wheel showed up today. It’s missing its 3 brothers

I’m sure they will be here tomorrow.

Snagged this off of Amazon hoping I could get rid of all my little folded up pieces of cardboard rattle stoppers..

Works like a charm!!! Looks way better and zero dash rattles!

 

Thanks for commenting on my thread, did you buy specific parts for windshield reservoir or throw some stuff together, love that setup!

Also, K&N, like it? Really want to clear some space in the engine bay + they're carb compliant for CA. Should pair well with Toyota mini header I'm throwing in

I just snagged it off of Amazon, it works great! Especially for 20 bucks . I did make the mount, but that was a 10 minute job.

the K&N has always been on there, zero issues.

 

Y’all know what this means!!!
[In my best Bruce Buffer voice] : IT’S TIIIIIMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEE!

 

Got the new shoes all laced up! Decided to try the skinny’s out. 255/80/17 Toyo R/T trails. I think the tires fit the truck well, I do wish the methods had a little more negative backspacing. But hopefully the zero offset will work well with the long travel stuff that I’m working towards.

overall pretty happy with it!

 

Everything looks a little better with some dirt on it.

 

My wife ordered the TEQ off road dash mount thingy for me for Christmas. It was backordered and apparently came in a week or two ago. I was out of town and she forgot about it coming in until this morning. So… Merry Christmas

it’s definitely sturdy. I had to cut the base of the ram mount to make it fit on the mount right. I really like it.

 

Picked up a small trailer tongue box and mounted it in the bed this afternoon. I had a Normal tool box in this truck forever and hated how much room it took up. I think this box will hold all the necessities ( tools , straps, etc.) without taking up so much room. Plus, I needed somewhere to collect stickers

 

Where you get that trailer tongue box at?

 

Harbor freight never misses.

 

The ADD was really ADD’n this afternoon. I was planning on ordering a UMP spare oil holder… and got to thinking…. I can make that for a lot less than 100 bucks. Chopped up an ammo can, used some clear tubing and 3/4 inch spacers I had laying around and VOLIÀ…..

 

I think this should be solid.

 

Did you have to drill holes in the bottom of it to mount it securely in the bed?
