Thanks for your service and stay safe! Are you going to wait to do the installs when you get back?... if so.. you are going to be busy!!

 

Finished my amp and cap wall finally I made it so I can also test other systems without removing mine and I also washed the truck ill post pics on here later I can't copy the url from my phone but its in my photo gallery

 

I played with a rattle can and dremal drill.

 

put this baby in...works great!!!!!

 

installed Toytec Ultimate lift kit, with procomp rear shock, old emu leaf package, took 5 hrs to install real easy. I ran it around town got it up to 60 MPH no wandering or vibes, letting it settle overnight and to make adjustment for the taco lean tomorrow. Still have the stock tires on 265 70r 16. I took her for a spin and imediately noticed a huge difference. Rides smoother, looks way better. I love it will post pictures soon. I am really happy with the way she looks now much much better!!!

 

did the meguiar`s clay bar smooth surface kit, then cleaner wax, last but not least meguiar`s liquid wax pure synthetic polymer, hydrophobic wax! cool thing bout this wax is you can apply it even in full sun!!!!!.​

 

Took some photo's way out in the country away from city lights. I call this "Close Encounters of the Taco Kind"

Re-wired the front DRL's and Turns for Switchback LEDs.

 

Blacked out my badges today... quite happy..we will see how they hold up.

Freshly washed last night to get ready for painting today.


After a long hot sweaty day in the florida sun...we have flat black badges!

 

Ordered some new wheels from 4wheelonline.com...hope to have em here by the end of the week!

 

washed and waxed it and put my stormtrooper decal thanks to sockmonkey

 

Well today I multi tasked, I ordered an Ultra Gauge pretty excited about it, and also took my truck to the body shop for a insurance claim due to a tree limb falling on my truck and denting the roof and breaking OE roof rack $1400 in damage

 

Fixed my annoying squeaky fan blower motor

 

did this about a month ago, but only now i got around to uploading them.
found some short pieces of angle iron and slid some fat washers in the bed rails to mount them. got the lights from napa auto parts.

 

Got the oil changed, tires rotated and balanced, and picked up a new air filter.

 

Gave a good clean. Trimed the front mud flaps (took about 4" off) used tin snips.

Went for a ride on an unimproved road.

 

At a little over 56K miles, put on a set of Hankook DynaPro ATM RF10 tires on it today.

 

Took it into the dealer cause I had a a shimmy in the wheel between 60 and 70 mph. They did a safety TSB on the wheels. Not sure what it exactly was about but the ticket said they took off the wheels, inspected, and placed an inspection sticker. Also had a shimmy under braking. They rotated and balanced the tires and turned the rotors. No charge for the visit thanks to the two year maintenance deal. Still have a shimmy right at 65 mph but not on every road so I think it has to do with the road, not the truck. Overall I'm happy with my first visit to the dealer.

 

GOT MY BABY SOME NEW TIRES!!!! lol swapped the 235/65's for 225/50's MUCH better imo. feels like I don't have to push the gas to the floor to move.
