Been a very long time since an update. Career changes are very stressful and resource consuming I'm learning. #dontlearntocode
The truck has been running very well for the past year. I haven't done much except put on Kenda Klever A/T2 LT 265/75/R16 tires on. The best fuel economy I've...
After getting tired of waiting for myself to have the time to solve my cupholder problem I just used sheet metal screws to secure "Looney bins" to the subwoofer mesh. The subwoofer has long since been replaced with a 10" JL. I don't often get fast food cups, especially when I'm on a road trip...
Take a look DIN units from Freightliner, Peterbuilt etc. You get bluetooth and most will also have NOAA weatherband channels.
I have the CSS-5930BT. It has bluetooth and weatherband, the green matches OK with the factory look. I didn't like the bluetooth mic on the face of the receiver so I...

Zooming in the part number is difficult to make out. Do you mind sharing the part number?
Also, how are you controlling the fan? The GM PCM or standalone?
Just installed it and couldn’t be happier.
A few notes about install:
I broke one corner trying to pry out the center vent. I super glued it back on and you can barely notice it but it was a bummer. Old plastic and all… Make sure to try and pry evenly from both ends.
I ended up removing a...
A note on brass gears: They have a small lip leftover from machining on the outside edges that needs to be sanded down to move freely in the metal sleeve/bushing on both ends.
I’m gambling on the brass gears. It’s a stop gap for me until I figure out what aftermarket seats I want to install.
There's a JDM single piece window for sale right now on ebay PS only and very expensive. I would post a WTB on FB land cruiser groups, setup an ebay automated search and look at how much a custom auto glass shop would charge to make a pair. Good luck!
Ouch David. Ouch.
That's so odd. I just double checked mine and the middle rivet can only come out if you slide the trim piece down; at least on the driver's side. Doing the other side tomorrow. Weird.
Another tip for removing the black outside trim:
I had better luck popping out the top plastic rivet with your method pushing with a 6mm socket from the inside. I didn’t see a way to push on the lower plastic rivet. BUT if you have the top rivet out and the bottom threads pulled away from the...
Been debating this myself. I'm currently running the stock air cleaner for the 1fz; BUT the stock intake ducting for the 5.3 IIRC never reduces under 4" diameter. The 1fz air cleaner reduces to 3.5 in several places.
Wandering through the junkyard I found an air cleaner from a 6.6 duramax...
Any issues with the compression fittings so far? I noticed they specify that the compression fitting is made for steel lines and we're fitting them to aluminum. Did you use any pipe dope or any other sealant during the install?
Thanks for the write-up!
I’m here currently. Same Ac compressor and bracket installed (sourced from a 2000 sierra 1500).
Something to note for the LM4 crowd: the LM4 block only has 3 of the 4 bolt holes that the sierra 1500 ac bracket uses. The two top ones and the one in the middle hidden by compressor. The...
