These are the ones I was thinking of.

 

@CO MTN Steve i think i have a set if you need them!

 

That's the male fitting because there are pins sticking out. You need the female fitting. Is that the retail box? I thought the wiring harness was included with Rigids.

 

I could possibly next week but work has been blown out lately because of people on vacation and the heaps of recalls Toyota is forcing down.

 

Oops, I order what I hope is this last night, as well as a pack of the connectors for Ditch lights and if the "connector" turns out to not be right.

 

It is but why not use Stock wire that is already there for the Fogs. Since I had to order both sides of connector (Male & Female) I got lucky for the Ditch lights.

Teach me to post and just order shit without waiting for more responses.

Does anyone have the "special crimper" that the Deutesch site was saying is needed?

 

i do

 

its for the pins? i have the pin crimping tool. rarely use it, but i have it

 

im getting ready because im leaving for wyoming today. im in the springs and heading north up 25 to loveland before i cut west. if you want borrow them i can grab them before i leave and if you want to meet somewhere along my path, you can pick them up. i wont be around the forum much so if you want you can text me. (831) 254-7562. i will let you borrow them on good faith that i will see these back at some point.

 

Thanks Brian. I Figured you might be buried with work and other stuff when I didn't hear back. I'm thinking I could be okay going another week since I work remote most days so the truck doesn't get driven much during the week. I'm also not going from stock to lifted since I'm already on Icons and going to another coilover, so it may not be off too bad.
Let me know if you can work something out, I'd rather have someone that knows what the hell they are doing aligning it

 

Anyone going to the Mecum auction in town? Or the Drag races this weekend? Heard there is also a big car show in Golden tonight I am debating on going and checking out.

 

I'm getting on a jet plane and heading to Nola

 

So, after the alignment shop told me I needed new tie rod's I ordered those and also took a look down there...



It's fairly obvious I need new steering rack bushings as well. Is that weeping/leaking bad? Should I be concerned that my steering rack may be going bad as well?

 

It can wait, I think I need to mod the ditch light mounts I have to reduce the hood gap. Thanks though!

 

I am trying to not work today and you guys are not helping to distract me...

 

Your bushings are trashed for sure. The weeping is not too bad as long as it's not actually leaking. How many miles on it?
If you do replace it, strongly recommend OEM unit and it's easy enough to do yourself.
Better bushings can be found here. I would replace with these even if installing a new rack.

I need to replace mine, it pops a few times when turning/backing into a parking space.... OEM for sure which is why I haven't yet, expensive

 

If you get them from Wheelers, they usually come with a bag of candy.

 

Here, this should give you a reason to visit the bathroom for a while...
