adriancast build

Yeah mine is Gray, I'm interested in buying your light bar, I just gotta make sure it will fit on mine. I want to mount it on the same place you have yours.

 

I meant to say dark. If your crash bar looks like mine im sure it will. I posted a lot of pics so people could somewhat see the measurements.

 

Thank you for the great post and all the pictures. Great looking truck !

 

Finally added some grip tape to my sliders. Kept slipping off them when I would stand on them to wash my truck only $10 from Home Depot.

 

Also did the ABS kill switch today. I used this link: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2n...kill-switch-mod-05-offroad-easy-way-pics.html but I used a bigger switch. It would be easier for someone to use the bigger switch. Tested the ABS kill switch on some dirt and works perfect. Can't wait to use it in the snow.







Here is the switch.


I used this spot to ground it.

 

Grip tape is good idea but eventually it starts to peel off.

 

Not the one I got.

 

Just looked under my truck and seen this. I was under there just 5 days ago and it wasn't there.

Driver Side CV Boot Leaking:

 

I had the same issue the seal is like 20 bucks.

 

How did you fix and get the seal? I'm searching how to fix this.

 

I actually took it to a 4x4 shop and they installed it for 100 bucks. But at the time i was in a bind. If i had more time i would have done it myself.

 

Damn. I want to do myself. I'll take off my tire later and see if it's bad or a tear in the rubber. I was searching and some guys went over 5,000 miles without noticing. I'm sure it aint that bad. Only been a few days. Most likely happened on the New Years run.

 

Here are some better pics. Everything is nice and snug and no tears. Just seems to be leaking out a little.



Here they are cleaned up. Will probably add a bigger hose clamp over the original clamp for now.

 

Cleaned up and put a hose clamp over the factory clamp. We'll see where it goes from here.

 

Just changed my rear/front diff oils and transfer case today. I used these for tips:

Just added a cabinet lock to my center console. Used this link for guidance: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/45925-couple-cheap-mods.html



Some steps I used:




I wasnt able to use a piece to my salex organizer because the lock got into the way.


I had to trim a little so the washer would sit flush.


Here it is in locked position.


Here is what I used. $5 at Home Depot.


Here it is in action.
