Yep, he sure did! He ported his TTORA write up here I believe - or at least modified it, lots of good info. His was also a conversion from AUTO to Manual transmission.

Changed the slave cylinder. The clutch feels so much better now. I was surprised that the entire boot section of the old cylinder was totally full of fluid. No wonder the clutch was iffy!

 

Where is that dude? I have questions

 

Chasing a p0300. Hoping this helps. Upstream sensor replacement. Denso.

 

polished the turd.

 

Very nice!

 

That looks great!

 

Picked up a BedSlide last week and then installed over the weekend. Was about 8 inches too wide to fit between fender wells so Sent the deck through table saw and then trimmed up and welded the metal “skirt”. Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect fit lengthwise though, from back to handle is 73.5”. So far I’m really liking it. I think that L-Track will be the next installment to make a functional setup. Anyone have brand recommendations?

 

Did some spreading of my radiator support bracket to fit in a new AC condenser coil.

 

Awesome.

How tall is it?

 

Got a pic of them installed please?

 

That's not a Turd-gen

 

Yep, not much to see though. Went with the smaller size tweeter so I wouldn't have to pop off or modify that grille.

 

did you use the OEM crossover for that new tweeter?

 

I didn't see one, but I didn't trace the wires all the way back to the head unit. The JBLs came with a high pass filter that I secured to the inside of the door panel. I think the OE tweeters filter out the lower frequencies using the capacitors soldered onto the old tweeters. Is there another OEM crossover somewhere that I need to delete? I have an aftermarket stereo as well, for what its worth.

[EDIT] Here's a closer look at the factory tweeters and the capacitor I mentioned.

 

@theesotericone @jubei

What size wheel spacers did you end up with to keep the tire off the frame?

Or I guess, better question is what overall backspace did you run?

My wheels are 4.75 backspace, I run 1.25 spacers. That puts me at 3.5 backspace. Looking at it, I think I'm going to need to get down to 3 inch of backspace, or less, to not rub at full lock and stuff. Just wondering where you guys ended up.

 

Nice bedslide! I got a well used one from a friend who bought a truck that already had it. He didn't want it so I offered to haul it off and cut a new deck to fit the taco and cut the side rails and painted everything. They're a totally worthwhile mod for anyone with a low rack or a camper shell.

 

Tailgate custom made by Ghostship. Tire carrier and foldiwn table.

 

It’s 4 3/4” from bottom of truck bed to top of cargo deck.

that’s awesome, and glad to hear you like the mod, I haven’t gotten the opportunity to actually use it, but I’m enjoying the thought of not having to crawl under the canopy to snag something from a cooler or readjust everything to snag a tool.

what’d you end up using to re-deck yours with?
