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

Well just got the call and we just closed on the land for the future home the taco. 3 acres just about 5 minutes from the Manastash trail system.

 

Yet you're making it a crawler

 

its going to be so much better tho

 

Bleh. I'll forever give you shit

 

See you did the ORS high angle boot, how are the holding up so far?

 

Still running good no issues as of yet.

 

Awesome build, and I loved your photos! what camera / lens combo are you using?


I just got into photography, and I'm using an old Canon T5i with a 24mm f1.8 and 50mm f1.8 lens.

 

Thanks, I use a Nikon D7100, not sure the lens we bought a couple of them, and my wife currently has the camera

 

It’s been a while since a updated but the house is finished. (Doors have been painted since).



Currently just trying to get caught up on maintenance on the taco. Finally had time to change the oil. Started working on cleaning up the head lights

Looking way better now. Fixed some wiring issues on the front LED pods. Started taking the swing out apart to flap wheel it then give it a coat of steel-it. Going to take the rack off and give it a coat as well. But I kinda like the look of the truck without the swing out.



At some point in the near future need to pull the shocks and re-valve them. Maybe a good winter project.

The FJ40 build had been put on hold for a little bit, until we get caught up around the new place maybe next year.

Also need to update the full front end of the tundra. Alignment is out, and just about every bushing is toast, also need new ball joints.

Spent this morning roaming around manastash, pre-running for a potential group run. Had some fun being on the tight trails again,

 

Well found a coolant leak today - looks like my winch power lines rubbed a whole in one of hard lines.

after looking into this i think its the hard line for the ac/heating system.

 

Well took the front bumper off tonight and looks like all the bumps and rubbing rubbed a hole in my wire loom for the winch which in turn rubbed a pin hole in AC line. Gotta love Monday’s.

 

Least the loom for the winch is an easy fix. The a/c line on the other hand is a big bummer!

 

For sure, it’s a single piece from the looks of it all the way past the fire wall. Going to be a major pain to replace by the looks of it.

Silver must be hard to upload.
