Oils

Into the mountain snow to escape valley fog and work the suspension. Not really looked for a tree too.


Three Fingered Jack appeared from the fog.

 

Got the giggles while snow wheeling

Truck makes so damn happy hehe

 

The wheel is for Toyota Camry.

 

Installed the light bar. Took longer than it should have and I’m going to have to run new wires in front of the relay (harness came with 14ga and blew a 15A fuse so it’s drawing more than the bar was supposed to sometimes). That should only be a 15 minute job though. Most of the time was honestly getting the brackets in, Toyota torques the hell out of those bumper bolts from the factory.

Today’s project is getting the front 5100s in with my girlfriends dad. Falken wildpeaks ordered yesterday. Actually starting to come together

 

What bracket and light did you end up going with? Looking to add a light there soon!

 

Used the cali raised bracket. Cheap mictuning bar that will probably fog in a few months. It throws plenty of light though. I’ll upgrade it if it ends up failing

 

Installed 1" seat spacers

I am only 6'1, but the angle of the seats was weird on my back. This is the best thing I have done to my truck, my back has been saved, and just the ride itself if more "truck like". Highly recommend this.

 

Installed a new truck alarm and remote start with sensors for my new wheels. Necessary in Colorado where criminals roam freely.

 

Are you running these with just the factory amp at the moment? I know you're adding an amp but wondering if the sound improvement was just with the rest of the factory setup.

 

I don’t have a factory amp it’s the non-jbl stock system. They are still a major improvement over stock

 

Pmd

 

I’ve got one at work pm me

 

Update: the drawer slide didn't hold up great after riding around all summer, the rubber "stop" that held it in the retracted position wore out, and it slid back and forth in motion, so i have removed the slide box. I may try again with either a heavier duty slide, or some sort of latch to hold it in place.

 

4 years in the making but today I finally paid my truck off.

 

M

More money to mod her out now.

 

$280.09 saved per month now. That'll add up quick.

 

Cleaned my engine bay

Before:


After:

Its not perfect, but it looks a lot better.

 

Simple wash through touchless car wash (of course it rains right after) after 2 weeks of wintery weather and associated road salt/calcium chloride splash. It's a new facility that opened about 9 months ago. Has a really good, multi-angled bottom blast.

 

Huh... got my wheels turning. Thanks for the feedback.
