[TheForger]

Finally finished the first half of the break in process on my 2000 LX

An 18yr old truck with only 100k miles on it?? That’s not even the break in phase, it’s still an infant!

EDIT: @TTCruiser beat me to it

I started installing my lift. Have do do it on our kids nap times and after they go to bed. So I was up till 10 messing with the front. Got the T bars out and one of the shocks installed before I broke my ratchet. Hopefully I’ll have it finished up today.

It’ll just barely fit out of the garage!

Finally got my tires installed. Tirerack didn't have them for a while so I had to wait.
I went with 275/70R18 General Grabber ATx

I can't believe how much better the truck looks with these over the old Michelins. Now I need to get them off the pavement to see how good they really are.

How are you liking the tires? How’s the noise level?

Old and busted, new hotness. Traded my 18 year old swaybar links for new extended links from Trail Tailor. Got the rears, too, but forgot to take a picture.

Mine are supposed to be delivered today!

Just finished my 1" body lift and added 305 75 16 rears and 285 75 16 fronts (got them used for $75 each). Getting ready for Baja trip

Why? What is the benefit?

Easy install, and IMHO, definitely worth the $$!

If you like an awesome ride, then you will love the Tough Dog!

I learned a lot this weekend. Mainly, a new threshold for how much I am willing to pay for labor.
DT Headers, gaskets, nuts, engine mounts went in over the weekend. It's amazing how few nuts and bolts can produce so many busted knuckles and 4 letter words. Yes, I finished in the dark last night. New nuts and gaskets & mounts were delayed by weather...
Need to move some hoses and wrap some stuff in heat wrap still. NO MORE TICKING, SO GOOD!

Any difference with the new mounts?

i tried getting that in Texas. It was taken

The basics, rotate tires and do an oil change. The not so basic, I cut a perfectly good DT cat back tail pipe and put in race muffler, for the wife. We have a long trip coming up and it’s a surprise......shhhhh. It’s a clamp in and comes out.

 

[TangoTango]

Put some wheels on tonight

 

[jsigone]

One installed amp turned into two installed amp. I couldn't figure out how to bypass the ML amp in the 2001 LX, wire harness/plug/wire colors didn't find anything on google or Mud. Gave up and installed both after spending the whole day on it, omhing out all wires, I think I got 2 of the 3 down, but the consistant 12v line I couldn't find the out. Not ideal but whatever. Lucky or good planning had it that the Kenwood 5way amp was small foot print.

Amazon $30 LX bezel fit a lil loose in the housing, about 1/10" total play, some E tape to hold it floating and the corners came out OK

I have that Flowmaster super 10 on my 2UZ Tundra. It's a beast

 

[Walnutking]

Put a Wheelskins cover on. Very easy job and was a huge improvement for interior. Worth every penny.

 

[Pyrenees]

I bought one and drove it home.

Now begins the rest of the journey...

Let me know how those work out. Eyeing those as my next upgrade in a month or two....both lower and upper.

I'll be watching for this. I'm planning on doing upper and lowers next too. I'll be very interested in the lengths you end up going with @geanes .
