today's project.
new TREs and wiper stuff. I had another passenger wiper ripped off, pushing brush, this last weekend. these stockers are a pita to get anymore. little ass screws and shyt.
updated to 3rd gen arms.
went with this style of blade because there's no extra holes for branches to grab.
hopefully they are the last wipers evAr as rain-x is fücking proud of those bad boys

Not too shabby- like what looks like you used OE captured nuts (there’s a deez nutz joke somewhere )

I know there’s a ton of debate on those Rain-X silicone blades over the rubber - Presently Tundra has a pr that’ll be 2yrs in mid - Sept.
So far no need to replace - parked outside & bed gets used as a worktop / TONS of saw & router dust - have the orange wiper juice in it, they seem to play well together.

alright. maintenance marathon.
basically did a 90k
tbelt, h2o pump, tstat, plugs and wires.
tundra brake upgrade (calipers, rotors)
1 ton t100 (1 1/16) master cylinder.
trans and cases fluid change with redline mt-90 and 75w-90
trailqueer lock nuts because im tired of the double nut bs.

Hmmm, a friend of mine came up with a similar adjustable bearing nut product for semi-trucks years ago with a bunch of other features he tried to patent. Pretty cool, I always forget to buy a new star washer...

trying to find a cheap or free LC rear FF lock nut setup.
same thing and oe. not sure how the nut will fit under the lockout

did the XP upgrade to the M8

 

[gnob]

little bit of this, little bit of that.
updated these markers to international dual bulb style. gets much better turn signal exposure for clowns trying to crash into you.

reaquired a roof box. this forced me to remount the rotopax stuff.
built some simple adapter brackets to attach the rotopax mount to the bush slots

Looks good. Roof boxes definitely are nice for big bulky items.
