The Adventures of Trouble

Let the bumpering begin!

 

My back hurts. Got all the heavy duty stuff done today. Going to do turn signals tomorrow.

 

Before Auxbeam… I was lazy and just home runned every wire to battery.

 

After.

 

Here’s what came out

don’t hesitate to buy a switch kit

 

No pictures. 96,270 mi got ECGS bushing put in. No more grumbles and vibrations so far after lift.

 

Winch in along with power isolation switch!

 

That’s my good buddy Nathan under the truck. Check him out on YouTube Good Mayhem Racing. He’s got a sick 4Runner built for Baja 1000

Got some DT connectors and wired up the rear mounted light bar. It has been mounted but not wired for some time. Also added KC wire hider.

 

Quick field test. Pretty damn bright.

 

Busy day, painted splash pans, rack light mounts and my fog light mounts black. While that was drying I installed a remote start for my wife’s 4Runner. Then when that was done splash pans went back on, and worked on wiring up the rock lights and mounting. The moto built mount is pretty nice for $25. Bolted right up to the prinsu but had to do a little drilling to mount the lights. Not a big deal.

overall successful day.

 

Grandpa passed this morning. The day before when he fell and had cardiac arrest I was pulling out tree stakes and the first three came out easy. The last one sheared and flung itself into the back of the truck leaving a dent and a busted tail light. Found these black housing ones on Amazon for $70. Hit them with silicone, swapped my LED reverse lights and they seem ok.

Here’s to you old man. Hope to see you soon, but not too soon.

 

Client tipped me in Diode Dynamic Foglights... they're brighter than my headlights lol. Super cool tip. Got those on today with some Paranoid Fabrication ARB mounts.

 

Anytime fog light mod completed.

 

Storm leaned over my tree so I corrected with some minor winching and new T posts.

 

Just took two minutes to install these. Great addition to the truck as far as convenience goes

 

New Switches at night

 

Do you feel the scanguage is worth having

 

Thanks for the compliment. I have a few things left I want to do to it then I’ll be done.

I got my scanguage 2 used shortly after I bought the truck and it helped me to correct my driving style so I could get better MPG out of the truck. I would say the better MPG over the ownership of the truck has helped it to pay for itself with gas savings. I also programmed it to have engine temp and transmission temp so I can keep an eye on it during the summer months. If you can afford it, it’s a nice toy to have, but you might be able to get away with a Bluetooth OBD2 type setup that can display the information on your phone in real time for cheaper. But I’ve enjoyed the scanguage so far.
