The Prerunner BS Thread

Hey Alex, how do you like that 6 speed? I should be picking up my new truck at the end of July or possibly sooner. Just have to paint my front bumper and fender flares and the truck is back to stock!

I keep looking at the 6 speeds, but I heard they're a little clunky to drive and shift kinda slow...Unsure if I want to supercharge that and not be happy with the shift speeds

 

Yes sir, rear light bar

 

Jeff buying a six speed is the best decision I've ever made as far as vehicles. You save gas and they are actually faster then automatics if you know how to drive them. Plus when I put it in 4x4 it kicks ass. The times I have wheeled it so far a lot of the dudes are in 4 low locker engaged and I'm still in 4h. Everyone has their own opinion about the six speeds so that's just mine. I love it way more then my automatic that I previously had. Maybe Glen and Travis will chime in they also have six speeds.

 

Sean what's up Bud how ya been! We gotta go grab some beers and hang brotha. I was thinking about doing the same thing also! Looks good. Sean on your lightbar did you run your own wiring or use what they gave up when you purchase your light bars. I just bought a 50 inch curved and 30 for the front,hooked it up worked for a day and now it won't work. I'm almost positive I need a bigger fuse,any suggestions?? I'll be looking at it later on today. Also I'll be running it from my fog light wiring so just connecting to it. Don't know much about electrical shit haha

 

I'll be in pisbro 4th of July if any of you guys will be out there look for me in a speedwayblue 4x4 taco with glass and light bars haha you'll see me say what's up if your there

 

Alex what's the wattage and amperage of your bar? I had to do some math too when I wired up all my lights to find the proper fuse.

 

Amperage is equal to Wattage divided by voltage.

Amps= Watts/Voltage

So if your amperage comes out to 17, I'd toss a 20 amp fuse in there

 

Okay so my 50 inch is 288w and my 30 is 180w. Thanks for the help Jeff I will do some more research. I'm the type of guy that cannot is more than impatient so when it comes to mods I'm already stalking the ups dude wiring for him to drive my to say the least

 

I'd say a 25a fuse should hold it for your 50" and anything bigger than a 15 for the 30". Can't remember if they make 17.5a fuses

 

I like the 6spd also. It is fun for wheeling, especially creeping down hill, just leave it in 1st gear and compression breaking will aid u. My only complaint is how tall reverse is. U either burn the clutch backing up hill or drive super fast. I honestly think u could probably hit 30mph in reverse.

 

Wowza

 

Hey Jeff so autozone has fuses that range from 10-30 so Im thinking I should just put two 30 fuses and call it good so they never blow out again... Haha

 

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

That's how you burn your truck down Alex lol.

The purpose of fuses is for them to burn out before you start melting wires.

You want to get a fuse that's just over the amperage of what you're running on those wires. Please Please Please Please grab the ones I recommended up top lol.

 

You get a double facepalm for that.

 

new LT rear links and springs along with proper sway bar links in the rear. Fronts butter smooth and bumps and straps ordered. Been blasting shit up north with it weekly.

 

Jeff please forgive me lol and that's for the tips. If it wasn't for you I probably would've got frustrated gave up and just left it along haha

 

Dam that's hot! I want to do a trip with you guys it's been awhile that I've hit the dirt and done some donuts! I'm thinking a hollister trip Late next month and bbq after and drink some beers in the shade

 

Haha no worries, just want everyone to learn from my mistakes lol! Hence why I'm buying a new truck and doing everything right the first time. I've got a little bit of experience in some things related to our trucks and have zero problem helping anyone with it!

I totally need to hit some dirt! Will probably be on stock suspension and tires for another year or so though as I beef up all the performance parts first and then save up for labor at DTF

 

hollister still to south for me to want to make a day trip.

 

Sorry bro I thought it msgd u stupid phone and yeah we gotta kick it asap, ill be in pismo with roberto Aug 13-16 for my bday on the 16th u should come with
