Hey they survived Moab.

Only the first drive is 15-20 minutes, then 20-25 min cool down. From there you can do 50 mile stints with complete cool down breaks.

 

Yup that's what you have to do. I trailered mine home so I didn't have to drive but yeah it makes for a long drive home

 

Im not to savvy with electrical stuff tbh, what does it help with other than cleaning things up?

 

Do you guys think I should pay for warranty, not even through Toyota? Wondering if any of you guys have gotten this before, bought my 03 from a third party dealership

 

Circuit breaker is the same idea as the one in your house, if anything shorts out on the other side of the circuit breaker it will stop the flow of electricity (stop the truck from burning down)
And the Fuse Block does the same thing, but on each individual circuit, rather than all of them.

Fuses need replacing when they blow
Circuit breakers need a button pressed (or level or something)

 

I never buy those. Not even on my 2018 4Runner.

 

Not as bad I suppose, but Just Differentials is 140 miles from Seattle.

 

Sounds like a scam to me. "Call in the next ten minutes and get a free doodad!"

 

They've been contacting me for about a month now

 

That is flippin awesome. I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to find a shop to do my truck flat dark earth tan. I can't find a shop, local, that will do the whole body.

 

But wait!!!!!!

Order in the next 0.0034 seconds and you'll recieve two matching doodads, plus our discreet doodad travel case, plus a full year's supply of cotton candy flavored whatchamacallems.

Do it yourself like I did not that hard just very time consuming!! Here’s my thread on it! You can do any color you want with this stuff!!!

Are you gonna sleep on their couch in the lobby tonight or is this going to be a one day service?

 

I have started to think about doing it myself. Only thing holding me up is I don't have a place to spray it.

 

I wore a 3m mask and sprayed in in back yard!! I sprayed whole thruck in about 2 hrs!

 

I left mine there for a couple of days. Bit of a hassle but worth it in the long run.

I stopped 3 times between cashmere and cle elum for about 30 minutes at a time to cool the diff. It was pushing 200*F each time according to my infrared thermometer.

 

I bet it got hot going up Blewett. At least it's nice country to look at while you're waiting.

 

There is cell service at the top of the pass too. The time went by quickly enough.

 

I finally got my dbcustomz grill back from powder coat. I also had them add the color matched letters instead of the letters being cut out. Here are before & after pictures. Gonna install it tomorrow. I placed it in the middle of the shell just to see.
