Nice photos man

 

Sweet build up. Nice truck. Cool dog

 

Love your build! I've got an MGM and a shepherd, too! Here's a pic just for fun:

Good looking girl!

 

Thought I was done with woodworking. Turns out I wasn't.



Whipping up a container to store and protect the jerry can (otherwise vibrations can and will wear through), as well as the action packer that'll store tools, spares, etc.

 

Bada-bing, bada-boom!



Threw it into the truck. Millimetre clearance with the propane tank.



Turn-buckledededed on both sides.



Also put back the ARB fridge, added a short rail for tie-down rings in front and behind of the fridge, and used ARB's fridge tie-downs to secure it.

Then put in the chuck box and turn-buckle'd it, too.



Daily state going forward:



Deployed:



The stove's hose is perfect length to reach the propane tank, while giving me enough flexibility to secure/zap-strap it to the side of the fridge.

 

Hello.
I'm doing a similar aux battery setup. Bluesea isolator etc. My aux battery will be located under the truck bed.
Can you explain or send a photo of how you routed your 2 AWG wire through the firewall? Did you poke a hole in the rubber seal or push it along the hood release? Or did you run under the cab entirely.

Couldn't quite tell from your posts.

Thanks.

 

I ran it through the rubber seal. It was a bit tough to do - I found it helpful to take a long screwdriver, attach the wire to the screwdriver (with tape), and then push the screwdriver through from the inside to the engine bay.

 

So you poked a new hole through the rubber?

 

Yes

 

Thx

 

Had the All Pro Expedition leaf pack installed this morning along with the u-bolt flip kit. Got me about 2" of lift over the 1 7/8" I had from the add-a-leaf before, for a total of almost 4". I was expecting a bit less as I've got quite a bit of weight back there. Maybe it'll settle over time.

Ride is definitely stiffer, but not bouncy. Feels quite planted. No squeaking so far. However, now I have a clunk from the rear any time I pull off from a stop - doesn't happen instantly, but at around ~10kph. No idea what this is at this point.

I also saw what I'm fairly sure is oil on the edge of the remote reservoir of my Icon coilover on the passenger side. Wiped it off and will keep an eye on it. Having already dealt with a leaking coilover from Icon, if this is a second ride on that carousel, I'm going to lose my shit. @icon_rep .

 

Just snapped this quickie:



Fear not, there's a Starbucks immediately out of camera angle!

Also, iPhone 6S camera is utterly useless in anything other than perfect lighting conditions. Ugh!

 

The forecast promised some fresh Tacoma weather, and it delivered!

 

how much lift are you running up front?

at almost 4" lift rear you don't seem to have much rake.

Oh and now following you on IG lol.

 

Front is at 1 7/8". Going to crank coils up a bit more after I install bumper and winch in a week or two. May have to swap in 700lb coils eventually (already have em)

 

what bumper did you get?
Lo profile?

 

Yup. Relentless Fab low profile w/o hood loop. Just dropped it off at powder coater during my lunch break.

 

what winch are you running?

 

Smittybilt X2O-10K Comp (98510 model). Synthetic line, wireless remote. Thought about a Warn, but with the awesome warranty of the Smitty, fantastic (long-term) reviews of their winches, and my anticipated once-per-year use of it, I couldn't justify a cost three times higher.

Bought it a month ago here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/351547907460?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
