When you don't have a second batt and a york, the real estate is quite lovely for an IC!
That's for sure! I don't plan on a 2nd battery inside the truck, I do however plan on towing some sort of small trailer as a base camp type thing and that will have a battery or 2. As far as OBA I do plan on a small tank setup probably from viair, with the tank where the OEM spare was and the pump somewhere in the trunk area. Got a decent sized delivery the other day but man fedex ground has been consistently behind by several days my last 2 or 3 orders from various vendors and its quite disappointing. UPS sucks as well and USPS is marginal. I do understand everyone and their grand ma are ordering things and everyone is behind because of the "pandemic". Another EXTREMELY disappointing development is my order worth around 1k of oem toyota parts is non existent so far. DO NOT EVER order from
www.oempartsource.com I placed a small order and had decent success, then I did another one and that one dragged out a few weeks but got fulfilled. However this one went like this. Parts are 2 or 3 days out check back in 3 days, well I gave them a week cause well you know.... "plandemic" that turned into ok we are just waiting on the 14 main bearing bolts. To a week later no response to my emails, another week later no response to my emails, then no response to their messages that were input to their website message portal. That happened 2 times. Finally I had to just open a case with PayPal and am waiting on a resolution from them. I have found that using my credit card through PayPal is fantastic for security and they will refund you pretty promptly as long as you have proof of your communications with the seller, then if that doesn't work you do have the final stop at the credit card company. anywho.... this plandemic is massively screwing up stuff, even rock auto has had issues with parts for me its unfortunate. The only success I have had consistently is with partsouq, dave at japan 4x4 and thmotorsports for the aftermarket stuff i need. thmotorsports is getting me my headgasket and clutch and they have awesome communication, they were up front with the fact that the clutch and head gasket were special order and a month out. If most places were just honest and told the story people wouldn't be as upset.. but whatever i guess. Ok so as far as parts haul goes.... got a vibrant performance muffler and resonator, my 2 gallon water tank for the W2A setup, A bunch of piping for exhaust and intercooler tubing, a blue fan clutch, new water pump, main/rod/thrust bearings, new power steering high pressure hose, new A/C receiver drier, i'm also replacing the condenser. at this point its pretty much all there except for my large order of toyota parts which are mostly body gaskets and trim and such, and the valve spring buckets and shims. i still need 2 oil cooler cores for engine oil and power steering, I'm also getting a larger capacity power steering reservoir with a replaceable filter from kar tek offroad. Any ways... lots more to go but its going slowly, brackets and crap for all these extra parts take time to make lol, make it put it on, take it off, adjust it, put it on, take it off adjust it, lol
. I have some things in the pipeline that have the possibility of removing the majority of my daily obligations and might allow me to peruse builds and things like this. we'll see... Stay tuned!
