Not too bad for 16"s.
Digging the extra poke the -10 offset offers and the faces have a nice concave profile.

Lately it seems that alot of people have their TPMS light on. Only takes an hour or so to take the gauge cluster out and put a piece of tape over it. When i yanked out my seat belt buzzer last year, I covered up the light with a piece of electrical tape. Nice clean display now. If you've taken the console apart previously, it can be done in 30 minutes.

 

I think I'm going to do the blue wire mod instead.

 

Tap into your dome light and you've got some crazy bright puddle lights!

 

5 tire rotation, greased u-joints, changed spark plugs.

 

I can wait!! Mines are coming too!! I've been stock piling supplies from work, cobalt bits, drift punches, chisels and whatever else I could think of?? Looking at these posts for these hangers, I'm almost dreading the dismantling Stage, oh well, fuck It. Ill just get after it and see what happens!

 

It’s been recommended to me to use a ball joint press and a grade 8 bolt to press then out. About to give it a shot and I’ll report back!

 

What fuse do I tap it in too? I didnt have to do that to my last switch

 

Yessah! Please do, any info/tips/tricks would be much appreciated!

 

Mine are sitting on my bench for just that reason. Forgot about a torch, my neighbor a is a metal guy. In fact, just went over, he is redoing he bathroom, I'm going to water pipe it and he is going to remove my stock hangers. score.

 

Hey sorry for the late response. This one has the F 1/2 engine. Is a t 3.9 liter 6 in line. Because it has 4.11 gears it feels pretty responsive I might get a 2F engine later for the extra power

 

Thanks. In the 80's I worked with a FJ 45, long bed. 6cyl in line, 4.2 liter, gasoline engine.
Good truck, tough and reliable, but caused me a lot of back pains in permanent off-road conditions.
No comfort, no A/C, but a lot of fun.

 

I'm still working on a solution to the gap. Tried a few things but A.) wasn't happy with it; B.) Don't think it would hold up long term especially out on the trails.

In the mean time, I got my Dobinson's snorkel installed! I am very happy with it.





Fixing the headlight fog this weekend. I found the culprit during the Snorkel install. Ran out of time to pull the headlights and address it but its my next to do item. I CAN'T STAND the foggy headlights. Drives me F-ing nuts!!!

 

What size and model are these? That output is killer

 

Got all the dings and dents out of the bed sides courtesy of the paintless dent removal dude. Looks brand new again
