Continuing on the body I moved to the roof. Sealed off the roof rack holes and slowly smoothing out the deleted sunroof. I'll finish tomorrow and move on to the next place.
I haven't shown the exhaust yet because I wanted to do a start up...
First time actually doing body, but tried to educate myself by watching YouTube. Probably a yr or so back I plugged the backing of the holes on the finders. Now sanded them with 80 grit and laid some fiberglass puddy.
I think pretty good for...
Laid down some vinyl flooring and velcro'd multiple areas to keep it from moving.
Cut a bit too much around the center console, but it's good enough for government. Time to start moving on to the body.
Finished up the sound deadening this afternoon. Over the past week sprayed Lizard Skin sound deadening and ceramic insulation in the LC.
Then rolled on some MAT66 ProBlack car sound deadening mat.
I picked these up a while back when I saw them. Great ergonomics for the job. In one of the photos in the last post you can see where the fender lip has been rolled from about 10 to 11 o clock .
I can tell you this Jon, My favorite truck to date was a 6.0L with a Tremec 5 speed manual. (Engage enabler mode)
What a blast to drive and the control over the RPMs was killer with that trans. I have driven 5.3L with Toyota 5 speed and not...
Have you pulled your spark plugs #5/#6. any signs of pre-detonation or heat damage? I used a Mr T. head gasket, i did have the enricher module and extra injector setup on dipity to keep the AFR around 12 under boost (keep it a little...

If anyone really wants to buy a set of these wheels (or any other large parts) and doesn’t want to take their chance in the raffle, let me know asap and I can bring more. Save on shipping ! :)
Made some progress today. also ordered new body mount bushings, and some lizard skin products. going to lay down some sound deadening, then heat control, then cover it with some raptor liner as a top coat on the underside.
I attended a charity clay shoot today and bought a few raffle tickets... I WON!!
Unbelievable... I'm not that lucky
Benelli Montifeltro - super excited to go back in 2 weeks for another charity event and try it out
Lydia and I went exploring in the URE's yesterday. Started out with BLT's from the Outpost then proceeded to to find the Big Rocks that we had heard about. We were not disappointed! After driving the service road down to almost the Narrows...
New milestone!
This is my 2009 Tacoma Prerunner. I bought it used in 2011 with 75k on it. I got a decent deal on it since it had high miles for a two-year-old vehicle. This is by far the most reliable vehicle I have owned. It only left me...
Brakes wired, hub+drumset installed and preload set, axles located and torqued, wheels on, and finally, trailer on the ground. Not as low as I remember it, and I think it's gonna be just about right for the car. Easier to step into and out of as...
