Stripped a lot of interior
Saw this in NH. Any pics of the undercarriage? Would like to see how rust free a NH truck really is. I'm from MA and had to go to AZ to find a truly rust free example.
Congrats...clean truck!

Finally bit the bullet and ordered a Slee rear bumper and sliders for my 03 LX.

They really do an amazing job packaging their stuff. I’ve never seen anything like it. Tilt sensors inside the box too.
which sliders did you get? The step sliders or regular?
Broke a u joint on my rear driveshaft a few weeks back. Bought a new shaft from Toyota and am having intermittent vibration/droning that i have been trouble shooting. I took of my front shaft no change, checked my rear control arms and now discovered this oil leak. I am hoping this is my smoking gun!
Working on installing cabin air filters and it looks like one was already installed by a Mus musculus. Time for some foam.

VL65? Did you get the MUD discount? They have an awesome deal going on right now but man, I can't make the case for the need of a fridge

Yes I took advantage of Dangcat group buy
Got 16.9MPG averaged over a tank for the first time ever....loads of going 50-60 on levee roads coupled with a lot of freeway and very little city driving.
Just got it back from getting detailed and tinted. Detailer corrected the 16 year old paint and ceramic coated it.
I started out by changing the rear springs to KTRS-79, and managed to rip my rear right AHC-shock in two, in a moment of stupidity...
Well, I ordered a new one from Partsouq, and got it yesterday, and installed it, having to make two ugly holes in the floor, as the first hole was too small, and slightly off position... Will have to find a solution for that, although I will have some kind of removable cover there, to simplify inspection, and will probably make one on the other side as well, for the same reason.
Well, in the mean time, I serviced my front calipers and installed them again. After having some issues with my service-kit from febest, I kept the original o-rings, as they actually fit, and were in really good condition.... And also, did not break when installing the pistons... Apparently there are two different calipers 15s+13a, and 14s+12a, or something, and I have the 15s... Well, it did not fit, and neither did the slidepins I had bought... They were 2cms too short... So, to make the old ones usable again, I put them in my drill, and spun them against sandpaper wrapped around a flat piece of wood... Well, it worked, and they were fit for use again.
After installing the everything, I went for a test trip, and found out my car pulled really hard to the left... I could not really figure out why, but feared my disc was warped... Off with the caliper again, and measured it, and it looked perfectly good... Then I wanted to clean it off properly with brake-cleaner and some paper, and then I felt a thick layer of rust and road-dust on the inside of the disc, but after five minutes with a drill with a wire-brush, it was much better, and next test-trip went perfectly.
Also, I tightened my torsion-springs three revolutions, changed my power-steering fluid, and adjusted my AHC-sensors slightly higher. So I got approximately 2cms of lift. In combination with removing the sideboards,it looks totally different...
So now I have a few more things to do, like changing oil and filters, and also spray-paint my leather seats...

yea certainly looks that way! I went with the regular tube sliders. Doesn’t look like they have the step sliders in rock so made the choice even easier!
Thanks for the info on them. I went down the STEDI rabbit hole on youtube the other day and was drooling over the st3303 pro
They are nice hey, they've packed the CREEs into that thing. Pretty similar to Hard Korr's which are about half the price.
Beautiful rig!
Thanks for the post! I ordered a VL60 with cover using the discount code
Plug and play yep, visit the link to check they provide several types. Mine were HB3 (High beam) & HB4 (Low beam) not sure if others are different.
The bulb once you put it in will need to be straight up and down, u may get it right first time or may need to adjust it slightly while viewing through the light housing. Hex key provided + additional washer and few cable ties.
Need to check if you have an after market light housing or OEM , if OEM just check this page in your book I guess.
