Like the rig man!

 

Thanks! Me too

Kev said you had your truck apart just to change a zerk fitting. Pretty good spot. Couple of different lines, some pewp wooder and a few locals.

 

gosh dang traffic jam

 

Hey jeff, I have read thru your build thread before but dont recall if you re-geared with the 285's?

Thanks bro

I traded in my 03 2wd 4cyl and picked up an 04 4x4 V6!!!!!!

 

Wasn't bad until Sid brought the land whale.. Silly Sid

Congrats on the truck. Much fun will be had fer sure!
1st gen's ftmfw!!!

Nope, I didn't re gear. Stock 4.10 and I'm happy with them thus far.

 

YEZZZZZ SIIIIRRRR!! Couldnt be happier with my 3.6! This beast goes where it needs to go!!

4cylneveragain.com LOL

Cool, thanks bro. Doing a lil research before i get new tires. It came with some 245/75's BFG AT's. They are ok but I want some beefy MT's

 

I really like the AEV rear bumper on the 4-door Wrangler. Those are great bumpers.

 

Nice truck Woody! Especially like the camper. The 1st gen DC's are the best truck imo. let me know what u think about my build.

 

Truck's looking awesome man

Needs a bumper tho

 

I think you meant to type 3.4. Its a great motor. My first Tacoma(1999) had a 3.4 and had over 400,000 miles!

Thanks meng! Im going to agree with you about the 1st gen dcab's being the best. And they re getting harder to find. Im going to check out your build.

Needs moar bumpa soon now! Except it too damn hot to be putting a bumper on...Aint nobody got time fo that.

 

Typo.... yea 3.4...lol

400k!! thats insane! I Love it!!

 

Installed a cb today. Just need to get it tuned.

This stuff I got from Amazon (Prime).
Cobra 19DX IV $42.00
Firestick II 4 feet Tunable Tip - Black $20.16
18' RG-58/U Coaxial Cable With Pl-259 Connectors $9.90
Firestik SS-3H Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Antenna Spring $10.99

This stuff from RadioShack.
Right angle adapter for PL-259 $5.99
CB antenna mount for PL-259 $8.99
Flex tubing 1/2" diameter 10' $5.99

I ran the power wire from the cb right to POS terminal on the battery using an insulated ring terminal. I grounded the cb to a screw under the driver side. I ran the coax cable down the driver side and out a cab plug behind the rear seat. I followed the path used by the brake light wires.

All in all, Im super happy how the install came out. I think the best place for the 1st gens for a cb is the ashtray. Well since I have never used the ashtray and it would NEVER stay closed.

I just need to get it tuned now and im good to go.




I used this 90 elbow for behind the cb. This way I could tuck it back as far as possible.



Stud connector






With the coax run/tucked properly, here is how far 18' of the coax got me. Right where I need to be.



Antenna mount. I may change this if I order a BAMF tailgate bracket



All installed

 

You're making me want to hurry up and get mine installed! I could have installed everything except for the mount and antenna today this weekend... Haha still waiting on those two parts.

 

It took me about 2.5 hrs but I took plenty of breaks. I think here in Jersey it's 100% humidity and about 98°
But the install was straight forward. I would wait till you have all your parts. Makes sense that way

 

Very nice Woody. Thats exactly the same way I done mine but put the bracket up front. Im running dual antennas though with a PRO 520 XL uniden. Nice job though. I guess u were quite happy to have the right amount of coax.
