You will need two relays (not included) to install these because transmitter needs steady pre-flasher 12v to work, not post-flasher 12v.

Work great

Pix to come soon

Took the plunge and ordered a Pioneer AVH-4400BH system today. Hopefully it will sound better than that stock POS

 

Clever; hows that workin out for ya?

 

Removed my diff drop. Also cut off an inch or so off my front fenders. Getting some body trim to clean up the lines a bit. Decently happy with it

 

Removed diff drop? Curious as to why? Clearance issues?

Looks GREAT!

 

From what I've seen, and people I wheel with... you don't need it. If I'm wheeling hard enough to break cv's. Then the 1.5 inch drop wont do much to help. Plus I loose a good amount of clearance and the diff hung below the transfer case skid about half an inch. I'd rather have my CV suffer than smacking a rock on my diff.

 

I was loading it up with some scrap wood and found this bitch..End of my task..

 

put everything back under and behind the seat.

 

trying to order parts

hmm 4.7 or 2.28

 

^ Did some more searching on the 2nd gen diff drops. Seems it just rotates the diff and doesn't really drop it all that much, also causing lube starving due to the tilted diff.?

Back on topic, BHLM'd my headlights, and installing OME 885 coils this eve. Eibachs are just too damn stiff for a stock front end IMO, unless all you do is road driving. Last I had the eibachs off road with the billies set at .85 it was really rough!

Sorry no pictures to post right now of BHLM but I'll have some up tonight.

Woof! Look at that dirty girl just hangin out... Spiders don't bother me but that one could push the right button.

Your truck sort of looks like a reverse widow

 

4.7!!!

 

Added some body trim to clean up the edges. I like the look and one package was long enough to fit all 4 fenders.

 

You getting extra clearance for next months trip??

 

Yes sir, and also prepping for 36's I'll eventually get after I redo my front end

 

Since my truck is half way around the world at home, I did some research... And figured out parts and locations for my OBA system and various other little tinkering I want to do when I get home in two weeks.... I sure miss my baby..

 

I went down to Discount Tire in SoCal and had them put on a new set of MB TKO using my stock tires - no lift, no leveling kit. $550 OTD with a TPMS rebuild kit and new lugs.

It's funny how a simple cosmetic change can so totally alter my perception of my Taco. I'm in love all over again

What should I do with the stock rims? They only have 15K on 'em and nobody on CL has shown interest. DT said they'd recycle them for 10 bucks.

 

My Weatertech DigiFit floor mats came today. Now I just need some Wet Okole seat covers.
