It's true! I can't recall how many km are on them. So far they are holding up great. I haven't spun them through much mud but they have spent some time in deep puddles. I recommend.

 

Ordered a pair of the Dorman bearings locally for the same price as rockauto wanted.

 

Nice!
where from?

 

GDT Automotive in Greenwood. They still wanted too much for the seals, so they are getting ordered from rockauto.

 

The rear seals that go into the spindle?

 

Yes, both of mine are torn.

 

I just ordered a bunch of seals from toyotapartsdirect.ca

I saved $80 on OEM seals that way.
I'm getting a bunch of seals for when I do my lift & fix that passenger side front diff leak



Toyota Dartmouth wanted $280 + Tax
TPD.ca wanted $211 total.

 

so I'm kid & wife free tonight.
they are visiting family in bridgewater.

i'm just beside myself with all the free time I have now for the next 24hrs....

 

Doesnt make sense that local is more expensive than an Ontario dealer plus shipping. smh

 

Oregeans sucks is the answer.

 

I finished up a project that's been sitting on the bench for too long.
this is actually version 3.

its an aux fuse panel. 6 fused relay's for high powered stuff like lights etc. And 6 regular fused connections for lower amp stuff like CB radio, and Hood lights.
I was tired of my relays getting water damaged, and that every time I wanted to add something, it was another messy wire stacked on the already busy battery post. This way anything else I add should be fast and painless. The Positive is fed from the main breaker to the relay box ( waterproof ) and also to the fuse block you can see in the upper right. Just to the left of the relay box and above all the red cables on the left is my Negative post for easy access. I have another negative post on the bottom that I ran a wire straight to the battery

I still have two fused wires going to the battery since I don't trust the Princess Auto fuse block to handle the high current needs of my trailer wiring, but I'll figure that out soon enough. I know I only have 3 things on it right now, but I plan on adding more lights, possibly an air compressor. The idea was that it would be more than enough, and I'd never have to think about this again. I should probably start a build page.





I had a little helper assist with the install

 

Anybody in the cape breton area?

I got mine a couple weeks ago. Of course, my truck is a long bed. The diagram you posted looks like a short bed.

 

There's a gentleman in CB who has a navy blue Taco with a Pelfreybilt bumper, he messaged me years ago after I had my bumper installed, I haven't seen him post in ages though

 

there was another person here...... it was during the winter with the 1st gen, white I think.
Haven't seem them around much either.

 

I'm getting pretty fed up with my bumper parts lying around and not being worked on......
might be time for a change. I got Monday off and @Canoehead and I are gonna do some Rad stuff to his truck! ( BTW @Canoehead I got Monday off and plan on helping you out.... )

 

Man, I wished I lived closer so I could help out, I miss getting covered in mud/grease, @Canoehead and I did my 886 springs in his driveway, then @k.strong and I did my D29XLs in the pouring rain, best times I've had!

 

That's pretty sweet. Did you build the fuse panel from scratch? I've thought about this, but I don't know anywhere near enough to screw with all that electrical. Plus, the only things I've added are fog lights (that stopped working) and a dash cam. So I don't really need it.

 

I did,

Wired up all the relays and the fuses myself, crimped the cables. I'm pretty comfortable with electrical stuff and have no problem helping others with their projects if you wanted to try this your self.

 

How did you make the mounting bracket?
