What did you do on your 70 series today? (25 Viewers)

[G3harris]

Finished getting rid of the last of the fire gear, remove the bed. Also installed a Iron Man pro foam cell lift kit.
I am wanting to put on the stock axle lockout hubs, can anyone give me a part number and a good place to order from in the USA?

To be clear my aftermarket alternator (Terrain Tamer) needs an OEM Toyota belt?

Hello,

At the very least a Dayco...

Another nice day at the beach. Fish weren't biting, but the weather was beautiful and the kids had fun. It rained the night before and the damp sand was much easier driving than the dry sand the day before.

I decided to replace the belt with one from a company that has a reputation second to none.

Fits the build much better. Even the Gates were too high quality.

Wow, that stung.
** To be clear this was never a build. It would be better described as a long term, very expensive “correction phase” because of a total lack of quality control and craftsmanship on the ”original build”.

Today was a good day to start washing it.

I even power washed the floor mats.

Those mats are very cool...

Got enough little things done to play with the term 'daily driver'. Warranting a wash and a drive to the park.

The original builder of my truck had installed the rear locker incorrectly which caused oil blowback into the ARB compressor. The compressor and engine bay looked like the second grounding of the Exxon Valdez. After the rear locker was repaired it was time for a new compressor so now the ARB compressor, the a/c compressor and the alternator are all new. View attachment 2641424

ARBs are picky with their o-rings. I have also received them with nicks on the o-ring sealing surface in the carrier.

Simplicity is why I been doing Elockers for some time now.

Cheers

Nice truck. When you add a bed to it, it will come out looking really nice.

Cruiser Outfitters can help you with the hub conversion.

Got a few items from UAE today to keep me busy.

Completed the first week with the truck being my daily driver. It cranked every morning.

Did you haul anything with it too?

It’s basically a hunting platform. Other than hunting equipment and a couple of guns it seldom hauls anything.

I love those rims.... they just look right..

I infer that your hunting skills are still a work in progress then?

You will fix, replace, and repair simple little nick nack items on the older vehicle as you want, but not much that would leave you stranded and the cost won't be remotely comparable to the depreciation and maintenance of a newer vehicle. You will get more complements on your vehicle than any late model.

Normal spring maintenance. Stone chip repair with epoxy primer, acrylic paint and stone chip protecton for lower parts of the body and doors. Also added some cavity wax.

And I also changed tires. Looks much nicer with Toyo MT's than with those Nokian Hakkapeliitta's. Tomorrow I will change oils to transmission, transfer case and axles.
