    Replaced this leaky plastic bypass pipe with the updated metal version. Also swapped out radiator hoses, water pump, thermostat and replaced the belt as well

    just do what I do and live a completely unbalanced life. I live to make an absolute monster of a truck. it's an expensive commitment but I'm happy every day.
    surprise is my current lady is very supportive of my goal. she doesn't know what 500hp costs but she's there for me. two reliable fun things this life is. yes folks. I'll have both.

    Raingler sells an install kit with the loft. It includes anchored rings for the front and 2 anchors with web retainers for where those hanger hooks are mounted. Very solid.

    Washed the truck and fluid filmed the frame.
    Also went and bought new spark plugs and 80-90w to do all the fluids... But ran out of motivation so here she sits.

    Which fluid film did you use? Considering using that on my “medium rusty” frame. No holes in it, so Toyota won’t replace it.

    Exactly I came from LEDs in stock housings and spot fogs that I ran 24/7. Needless to say this change is awesome. Minus the 800 bucks its cost total lol

    Just the regular old fluid film from Napa. My frame looks like it is brand new. Id knock off any loose stuff before coating it.

    Hey all. New here and just purchased a 14 taco 4x4 off road. Looking forward to seeing everyone’s builds. First thing I want to do is maybe add a ditch bracket mounting(low profile Cali raised) with some high quality led light pods. Found a article that reviews some led light systems (Www.dailydriven4x4.com)and was leaning towards the rigid Industries. Anyone have any suggestions?
