TT 1" body lift. A bit of a pain to access all the bolts, my interior looks like a mess, but I like how it sits now 👍

Trucks is looking very special indeed!
Be prepared to get lots of compliments on the snorkel. I have had ppl stop their cars and bikes and come up to the truck to comment on the snorkel!
Also be prepared for people to make some sort of weird goose gesture with their arm when asking about the snorkel.
 
We need some more feedback on the eibach. Another eibach installation here this month and I have been very happy with it. What diatance did you end up setting the front at center hub to fender? Also see my posts about cv boots needing reclamp after, keep an eye on them.

Very happy with the ride and setup. I'll get you that info and thanks for the heads up on CV boot.
 
changed out my leaking radiator and upper hose. I was losing about half of the reservoir worth of coolant every 3 or 4 hours of driving. scared the hell out of me when I got everything buttoned back up and ran her for a few minutes until I noticed a bunch of coolant had spewed out of the lower hose. luckily it was just the hose clamp not seated. she seems to be holding up so far.

on a separate note, I thought this one had the Toyota pink looking life coolant so I put maybe 3 cups or so to top her off one time. that shouldn't be a problem should it? she's now refilled with Toyotas red coolant. I just didn't do a flush.
 
Green is not normal. If you don't know what the coolant is, I would flush the whole system out with distilled water and then put the right stuff in... The red coolant. Mixing coolants is not good, so again, if you don't know what's in it, get it all out and start fresh.
I just had a shop change my radiator and use universal yellow coolant while it originally had Toyota red in it. I’m not sure they did a full flush.

What risks am I running here?
 
I’ve been focused on baselining for the last few years and finally got around to the rear bumper, sliders, roof rack.

Went with the ARB rear bumper and Prinsu rack. The Truck Shop - San Diego installed everything and fabricated the sliders. Job well done overall.

1999 model year with 160k miles.

Sliders look good. I’m been toying with the idea of getting some sliders custom made some so much is out of stock right now, but I’m concerned with the quality from someone who has never made them for our rigs before.
 
Just finished up a big round of PM, installing new (all genuine except for Aisin kit)
Aisin timing belt kit with water pump, idler, and tensioner
Timing belt idler #1 (cannot recall if that was part of the Aisin kit)
Fan bracket
radiator and upper and lower hoses
Thermostat (it says “Teq”!)
serpentine belt
serpentine idler and tensioner
crank position sensor
Bypass hoses (from throttle body and motor inlet to the oil filter housing)

And put new brushes in the alternator while I had easy access.

And new pink coolant. Just about lost my mind wrestling the passenger side engine drain petcock, which was holding my 10mm socket hostage.

Runs great. Just did the no-dipstick ATF top off dance, since I lost a bit of fluid pulling and replacing the radiator….

White knuckle shipped mine in 4 weeks or so. Met the quoted time on their website.
