Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

hahah I'll do some more digging. Guy must have turned his seat into a cockpit with 6!

 

spotted a nice white 2nd gen dc looked like a long travel susp setup, flared front fenders, steel bumper, powdercoated white rear steel bumper, very nice. comin out the union square parking garage in san francisco around 1130/midnight...my truck was in the garage as well, barely cleared the low overhanging ac ducts lol

 

Yup!


It's hella fun. "Too close for missiles, switching to guns!" Every time I throw the light bar and pods on!

 

Hey guys I'm going to do it
I am going to be color matching my bumpers and rack today I'll be posting pics up later of before during and after
wish me luck

 

Don't have those, but have these in the overhead…..

 

I'm thinking of installing some flush mount LED lights in my rear bumper to help see at night backing up. Have any of you guys had experience with the cheap Amazon ones? I have two blitzpro 6" bars, but can't find a good place to install them that won't get ripped off I do any light wheeling.

 

If you're just using them for back up lights, anything will be fine. Agreed in that there really isn't anywhere where you can mount the blitzpros back there. The flush mounts will work, just make sure you have clearance behind the bumper.

Back up lights do work a ton though. I couldn't see anything in the camera without them (at night).

All this got me thinking, before I had a back up camera, I was a lot better at backing up into places, or just in general. I've become a little dependent on it at some times where I used to be able to know my limits a lot better. Kinda like how my navigational sense was a lot better before GPS came out. But I digress.

 

Is it a stock bumper? If it is, you'll need shims as the stock bumper (o5-15) is slightly canted.

 

Yeah I was going to install the Blitzpro's on my CBI on the 4runner, but sold it before I could. I'll just pick up some $40 lights and go from there.

So anyone want to help me install them at the mod day? haha

Need to look into wiring them to turn on with the reverse lights and a switch as well.

Yeah stock bumper, good call on the shims, wouldn't have thought of that.

 

^ easy peas

 

I'd help but I'll be too busy lugging this giant sleeping bag to you

 

No that's fine, I don't want to strain your frail body after bringing the sleeping bag...

 

Thanks, a stiff breeze knocked me down the other day, it was terrible.

 

Had to.

 

So my local shop had the ATPs in stock. 30 day satisfaction guarantee. If I don't like em, I can pay the difference and go ST Maxx. It's my DD, will see light snow, and light trails. I'll give it a week lol. Can't beat the 55k mileage warranty.

 

So im guessing yesterday when i had two wires swapped it must have fried my MAF. I connected the wires properly and was able to clear all but the IAT P0113 code. I've cleaned the MAF and checked my soldering and its all good. I'm pretty much guessing at this point but it seems logical i might have fried the IAT port on the MAF when i had it wired incorrectly.

 

EPIC! That is too sweet. Did you just cut a hole in a blank switch the size of the toggle?

 

Thats a clean set up too! Wish I had room up there for that, I quite like it.

 

A stiff "breeze", is that what the kids are calling it these days?

 

so I got everything taken off ready to be pressure washed and painted tomorrow (yes I know its supposed to rain)
