Probably a dumb question but I can't afford an aftermarket rear steel bumper at this time. Do you guys think it's better to have a trailer hitch with the stock bumper so the steel gets hit instead of the bumper or leave the hitch off for the little bit of extra clearance you can have on the rear?
IMHO yes. I dragged mine all over the rocks before getting a legit bumper.
Found the first snow of the season up in Nevis Mn. Early youth deer hunting season, deer camp.
Yuck!!!! Way too early! I keep looking at the temps in Moab.
I like it! That was the theme for my build. A multi-tool in vehicle form.Been a couple weekends ago, but:
I guess one cool thing I accomplished in order to do this......
I have a 3000 Watt pure sin wave inverter in the LC. I can power my laptop, drill battery charger, and a power miter saw from it. I have to feather the trigger on the saw to get it going, but it does it. The shop's welder/generator broke down, so we used my truck for two days to do what we had to do.
I installed a 250A circuit breaker at the battery, then ran a set of 00 cables from the battery into the cabin with an Anderson Connector mounted on the center console, right below the "factory" cupholder, then a matching Anderson connector and cables as a 6 ft "whip" on the inverter so I can move the inverter out any door or use in the back. Eventually, I will build a set of jumper cables that can connect here so I can jump start another vehicle from any open door on the truck.
I got this one because I can use it to charge the Power Wheelchair for our son.
I may build an attic rack to attach the inverter up there to give it airflow and keep it out of harm's way.
so.... cheap wrap dude broke my front fender flares bad, used the flare pad to stick them back on but they fell off after a week :smh:
of course he ghosted and his shop is cleared out now.
new flares were in customs for a while but finally got them and had them sprayed flat black.

Fixed the saggy back thanks slee
Installed my Ironman lift. Unfortunately I was matching old tall spring with new tall spring instead of reading the instructions and I need to swap everything from side to side. Luckily the swings are very easy to swap. A couple hours tomorrow and she will be done.
Wheredya get the seat extension brackets?
Taking apart the intake manifold to replace vacuum hoses and relocate VSV
Installed the Wit's End Auto-Up Diode....and it didn't work. Made sure the diode was installed in the correct direction
Here are some pics... see anything I may have done incorrectly?

Try another Diode? Those boards look a lot different.
Did you modify the plastic switch itself so it has the room to go the extra "click"? The auto-up mod is more than just the diode...Installed the Wit's End Auto-Up Diode....and it didn't work.

Auto Up Window Mod
I received the dead switch assembly from RavenTai today. As promissed I dug in and modified the assembly for auto up ability. The Mod consists of 2 changes to the switch assembly for this function. I'll have to post another one for the second change and it's pic. 1. You'll need to give the...

Got the new oil pressure sending unit sub-harness and alternator from McGeorge. Got things installed and ... oil pressure is just fine, no leaks seen.
Truck left the garage under it's own power for the first time since May 27th.

It is supposed to head to paint soon, but not sure I can handle taking it back apart right away, so may push it off till spring. Oh, the parking brakes are still squealing a bit on turns too. It's going to Toyota now for that shortly, I can't see what I could have done wrong with it, EVERYTHING is new and well lubed back there now
... frustrating.
Anyway, having the truck running again is like having a best friend back. Now I just have to find reasons to leave the house.
