Did a few things on Bruiser yesterday:
- Changed spark plugs: Runs much cleaner and stronger without the 0.048" gap plugs (spec is 0.031") with close to 70K miles on them!
- Serviced K&N air filter
- Replaced water pump/alternator belts: When I bought it there was only one on the rear pulley groove...
- Welded up the exhaust manifold heat shields that had rusted through at the mounting holes: Hooray for no more rattles!
- Replaced door courtesy lights that were either out or not plugged in...

Things I bought/will buy today:
- Rocky Road Outfitters full step sliders
- OEM Toyota throttle cable: Hopefully this will smooth out the fairly sticky pedal feel
- New headlight bulbs: One went out on the drive back from Wenatchee yesterday. TAKING SUGGESTIONS FOR GOOD BULBS TO REPLACE THEM WITH.

Nice now pull out the KN and get a real OEM from @beno and youll be better off ask how I know...................

Done quite a bit lately to the 96 FZJ80, now that it's my daily and not my wifes. Built a slide out tray setup that bolts to the factory hook mounts in the rear trunk area. Slides are rated at 500 lbs at full extention(40").

The code 3 harness is popular with the law enforcement industry and the tow industry. I usually get my beacons and stuff from truckntow.com or sirennet.com for my 18 wheeler.

Got some new 37inch shoes.

Finally got the new addition dropped off today. It passed it's 100 mile delivery route test without any issues. Needs a little love here and there, but overall couldn't be happier.

What wire sizes are in that harness, there's ZERO AWG information on the sites I found related to that product.
I suppose you could just use 2-3 conductors to 'build' a larger wire but...

63 vs 86 qt

It's 1" square. The sides are .063 or .080 and the rear cross brace that's carries most of the weight is .120. I'm building a 2nd tray for the other side that's wider. Right now the current tray is designed around a yeti 110 chest. With the other area open I can still drop in the driver's 3rd row seat and still have the frame mounted.

Man. All I did was clean my EGR valve and get rid of a 401 code.

How much lift are you running on your truck? Did you get the DC rear shaft for vibes? (I'm asking since I think I may need to get a DC rear shaft). Did you angle the pinion up towards the transfer case output?

[Fj81]

Installed my @yodaTEQ beer holder!

Thanks to Frank at @yodaTEQ for hooking me up with the parts! Now I have more wiring to do!
He showed me a new place to get tacos too.

4" lift. PO installed custom DC front and back. I am in the process of looking for a stock shaft to replace it. The pinion angle needs to be moved much further up to run the DC and I don't want to do adjustable UCAs to correct, I don't want the spring perch pushed that far back. I have been in limbo on UCA's or stock shaft. I have vibes right now when letting off the gas. I just don't want to go stock DS and still need to adjust the pinion. It appears he also put longer LCA's they look like slee HD so the pinion is sitting parallel by my eye, I haven't measured. I think the driveline shop just sold him on DC as a fix all.
