Kavik's She-Devil Build

Did it help

 

yah are urs squeking only in reverse like mine? so gay lol

 

Mine squeak all the time, reverse is the worst. I didn't put the new ones in, my mechanic says I still have quite a bit of mileage left (over 30,000 miles) on these brakes so I am gonna hold off on that for now, unfortunately I noticed my coolant was low the night before which was weird because I just filled it three weeks ago and it turns out the fan clutch and water pump need replacing. So good news and bad news lol

 

My water pump went out around 65k then my radiator at 100k

 

Well it is out of the shop and running smooth right now. I guess I should keep an eye out for the radiator.

 

Haven't checked in here in a while.

1: Jelly of the skewp
2: Nice retros
3: You can go with a #4 awg for the blue sea and another #4 from the battery to the disconnect and you'll be fine.

I've run 300 amps off of a 4 awg before, I don't suggest to do it but I knew the risks, and all the variables (electrician for 8 years) and had a fire extinguisher available at the time. I get the wire for free from work though so I swapped it all with a #2

 

I've been running 1500 watts off a single 4 awg for ground and power from battery with a split into (3) 8awg for ground and power to amps for 6 years without issue.

 

damn that blows!

 

yep, it costs about $540 to replace the water pump and fan clutch.

 

dayum. hope my oil leak is the only problem for a while! still havnt taken it in!!!

 

Not really, those are the only two things that have gone wrong with it. I've put 130k on her since I got her with a salvage title.

That blows, sucks when you can't do it yourself. Took me an hour and a half, pump was like maybe 150.00 when I did it.

You still have warranty, what the hell are you waiting for?

 

You are about halfway there 125 amps, 1500w and 12 vdc

 

lol i know i get 1500 back if i dont use the warranty, 9000 miles to go before its up. I probably should just have em fix it under warranty tho i just have this feeling its gonna bite me in the ass somehow if i wait and try to get that extra to keep.

 

so what happens when repairs cost more than $1500??

 

I gotta finish my stereo ive been behind on that shit ....
bout the access cab for a reason more space for more boom but before it all ima take the interior out and mat the doors roof back wall and floor my roof flex like crazy with my 2 12's and so do my doors but my system isnt ridiculously loud but the vibration anf flex distorts the sound and i lose clarity of the bass note

 

I be screweeeeeed!! Lol

 

Your gonna me even more screwed end that seal takes a shit and pisses oil all over your engine bay.

 

Yah I know. I need to get an appointment and take her in. I'm gonna try for next week.

 

Couple of goodies are coming in the mail soon! I also hope to get to work on that body kit soon, a member on here was nice enough to give me a couple leftover body kit parts so I will have a couple I can practice fabricating to fit (mainly the side skirt length) but surprisingly enough, most of the mounting wholes are actually on the reg cab Tacoma! So, the plan is to cut down the two side skirts to fit the reg cab and also figure out where I have to cut the slots for the front bumper skirts to slide into. I also might need to lengthen the exhaust tip a lil bit to make it clear the kit. I know I am bad about updating this thread but I will keep it updated when I begin adding the kit on to the truck so stay tuned!
