that is sweet, how much was the winch?

 

In due time! My excuse was I spent about the same on all 3 as it would have cost me for an Oasis... hopefully it was a wise decision.

 

That's a compressor and it was 613 delivered to my 10' x 10' shed in the woods.

 

Decided to keep my 04 TRD 3.4 so I picked up a few parts:
Timing belt kit (w/pulleys) and tensioner
Water Pump
Front brake pads & rotors
Air filter
Wiper blades
Trans filter kit
Rear diff fluid
And I'm really excited about friday, when I pick up my installation pack, (that would be a 12 pack), to help me put everything on!! Can't wait.

 

Hey man, have a great time with that, and welcome to TW.

 

Just my lvlin kit with american racing ATZ series rims and new bfg ta/ko pics commin soon

 

Sean, I was going to pm you on this one but I figure this question would be helpful to other peeps. My brother is a distributor of Empi axles and I remember you had said that you have had some experience with them. Tom (monkeyproof was saying that one of the Chinese axles he has purchased didn't have the same level of articulation as the OE (and yes, I asked if he was talking OE before failure or after failure ). Have you noticed any variation of the angles of the axles on either side of the cv? One thought was maybe we should alter the opening, radius and polish it. Just saying. If you have any information on the Empi as compared to the OE I would greatly appriciate it!

Also, interesting to note, we tried to pick up some axles at O'Riley/Kragen and they said they can't get them. I think they had a Precision p/n in their computer system but they couldn't get them. Were the ones that you picked up Precision? If so, were they any good?

One last thing as I am thinking about unfortunate trail repairs and maintenance to limit them... Have you had any of your U joints go?

Thanks and thanks for the help on the compressor.

 

good luck on the water pump/timing belt....im doing mine on sunday.

 

Wow! As I was reading I was sorry I asked...

Thanks!

 

mounted my ballasts to the frame

 

What do the fuel lines go to in the little cyclindar??

 

That cylinder is filled with Krytonite. It adds about 5 points to the octane rating.

 

Swapped my Hella 500's to the center positions on my arctic bar. Threw Piaa 520's onto the outboard anchors. Have the Hella's re-wired, waiting for a relay and switches to get the 520's light up.

Saturday... re-aiming!

 

curently painting all the chrome parts black and a fresh wash and wax to start off the sunny day.

 

GrillCraft was put in earlier this week. Tonight I finished the vinyl on the valence and the lamin-x fog light covers. Will post pics when I get a chance.

 

Got a phone call from Marco and ordered the 5100's, picked up the 30k maintenance stuff, ordered a K&N drop in and some cabin filters.
