utroda's Tacoma (LT, Lckd, 35s) & FJ40 Build (In Progress)

Still looking for a ultraguage? I think jaredstoyota still has his for sale?

 

I do still have mine for sale, actually have it in front of me right now.

 

Where are you located? I have a job on Mercer island on Wednesday anywhere close we could meet up at?

 

Thats not too close, I live out near monroe. Worst comes to worst we can arrange to ship it ?

 

Yeah might do that. Let me get back to you tomorrow or Thursday via pm.

 

Got the compressor installed and switches in. Have a small leak with one of the fittings to the solenoid so have to fix that.

Also why does the dimmer on the dash work backwards? Hooked a test light to it, and when the switch is on the brightness setting the test light goes off, and when it's on the lowest setting the light is on.

 

Compressor install location.

 

Locker lines ran, and air leak fixed.

Now just have to get the exhaust re-reroute done, build spare CV axle, and put in dual USB power supply.

 

Dropped the truck off today for the re-route. It's such a weird feeling dropping the truck off to let someone else work on it for the first time.

 

Got the re-route done last week, and got the rest of the skids on over the weekend, also hit my 500 miles on Friday and changed the diff oil this weekend. Decided to switch one of my cigarette lighters to a blue sea USB charger, since i'll be using a ipad for my gsp screen.

and finished switch install.



so pretty much ready as i'll ever be for our moab trip in march. still need to pick up a spare CV to build and some spare tie-rods.

 

When you hitting the road for this? How'd the exhaust turn out?

 

We are leaving here on the 15th i think. Exhaust turned out good cut and moved the y-pipe back and ran to new pieces up high enough to clear the skid cross member.

 

Pretty sure that I broke my locker today. Time for some upgrades

 

That trailer queen doe

 

Doesn't that mean you'll be pulling me

 

Lmao yes

 

when your rear locker wont disengage and makes a massive popping sound and the whole axle housing moves

 

Photo dump from Moab with @northwesttaco was a fun trip and can't wait to go back.

 

Heres some photos of my rear third damage from moab. The carrier decided to blow up.



some of the metal shavings and pieces pulled from the third, even more still in the housing.


The bearings and metal in the below pictures caused my locker not to fully disengage.

 

Getting use out of the HC rear and front bumper, this washout is so steep and tight you scrape both the front and rear bumpers at the same time.
