Shellshock's Build Thread

Don’t miss that part where Dave says he spends a lot of drive time at high speed.

 

Just squeezed in to look at the clutch pedal assembly. It's tight down there! I'll upgrade when the pedal falls off.


Squirtted some silicone spray into the pivot area and called it good.

 

Yeah I’m gonna let @Shellshock do the work confirming all the details before I attempt it. It’s been so long since my last MT that I’m pretty well adapted to the pedal. I do drive barefoot a lot but mostly low speed stop and go be and not even much of that. Price wise though, it’s very reasonable. Curious mostly about labor time / effort and net benefit.

 

I’ll be sure it screw it up at least twice so its smooth sailing for you guys to do it

 

@ShirtTucker already has the parts on order, he may beat me to it

 

Reading that Thread, I found out about the TSB for the Clutch assembly. I bought my truck used at basically 20K but the 2 year Toyotacare expired March 19th. I called my local Toyota dealer about the TSB and the very nice switch board operator said I was close enough and she was going to tell the guys to do the 20K service. Thanks @Shellshock Friday morning I am getting both done!

 

This thread is about to get real fun

 

Can we guess?

I'm guessing...



Turbos!!!

 

Of course you can guess!

Ill post a picture when my stuff arrives

 

The real question is, which one of us is the one with the rock tied to his head?

 

@Sociopenguin asking the important questions in here

 

Whelp YotaLeds Raptor lights are trash. 2 years and one bulb is dead. Another the cover is MIA. One good light out of 3.. highly recommend buying something else.

Guess it’s time to find a different kind.

 

Idk where I got mine from back in 2017 but I removed them after about a year because I got tired of feeling like a poser lol and I generally prefer functional mods

 

I like mine for visibility in the dust (for people to see me)

I need more things to fill up my switch pro lol

 

I’ve bought two sets off eBay. But we have no weather and my miles < shell’s miles. First set was/is fine, changed to smoke for looks. $20 and done.

 

Lol this past year I’ve down 12k miles. Truck is basically a grocery getter these days

 

So you had to replace the head unit to make it work? I have that same alpine unit installed right now, the MFD also doesn't work but i wouldn't be against trying to get it to work.

 

Yup. You need a unit with the maestro interface to feed data back to the MFD.

Anything with maestro will feed the audio screen. I’m told only kenwood units with garmin nav will feed the navigation screen. Really the audio screen was all I cared about.

 

My first set of raptor lights (yotaleds) are trashed. Not super impressed for what they cost. One is busted and another one is dead after ~2 years




new set installed (tacomalifestyle)
