how difficult was the install ? i just got quoted almost $1800 to fit the front & rear seat covers , i only paid $1800 for the whole lot (in aud $)
Not bad at all. Get a decent pair of hog ring pliers and it is easier. There are several threads on here that describe the how to's. Just take your time. Drivers seat was about three hours. faster the second time.
 
AHC lift. Installed new tie rods on each side. Added a Prinsu rack. Ironman 6.5’ awning. 285/70/18 Geolander MT’s. 1” Bora spacers. Skar audio upgrades; iPad to control it. Lasfit 42.5” amber light bar. And, built a drawer/ organizer in the cargo. Ignore the staples in the top left corner. It was the last panel to get carpet and I was over it. It will be redone at first convenience.

nice! light bar integrated in the roof rack? pics?
 
Today I did the ACH override lift and added some yellow LED foglights. Love the way it looks! I’ve got to prime and paint the rear mud flap delete and install them. I was almost ready to remove the running boards but with the lift I kinda need them. View attachment 3206920View attachment 3206922
Truck looks great. PO removed and chucked the running boards on mine, I just use my sliders as step boards now. I'm focused on ground clearance and approach angles. The rear mudflap deletes do help on that with less to hang up behind rear tire. There's really nothing on mine (besides the sliders and they tuck up) below rocker panel/ bottom of bumper- but i'm also considering some kind of higher/tighter rear bumper (no junk hanging from it) and pulling the spare tire from underneath and storing in back.

It's always something. :)

I've been working on these replacement seat back nets for a bit now, they're available for 80 and 100 series. The ones in my 100 were so bad the PO cut them out, sparked an idea and now I'm ready to share them with you guys. My first batch has been sold and shipped to some awesome cruiserheads throughout the country. I upgraded to a supporting vendor, made a post in the Vendor- General section.

This is Great!!!. Does it come in a color that matches the stone (Grey) interior?
 
Finished this up a while ago. Wasn’t to happy with the overall cost of a complete replacement, so I went to work. Used premade plate, mounting kit and hinge assembly from 4xinnovations. 4’ of 2x3 and 2x2 3/16 and some scrap 2x4 3/16 at the Frame. Not bad for being really my first time welding and with a little HF $160 easy flux machine. Hasn’t fallen off yet so I’d call that a win.

I’ve been looking for a good match for the gray interiors. I like some contrast rather than diving straight into a dead match, this one even looks like stone😀. I’ve got one set of these for a 100 series on hand.

Almost 250K miles, calipers are starting to stick, i see uneven brake wear on left vs right side. Might as well take this opportunity to replace the calipers, these are just Nappa rebuilt ones but i've used them in the past on a lot of 4 piston toyotas without issues so i think they should do the trick.

Good thing i caught it in time, pads were about to destroy the rotor

Nice and shiny, braking is a lot smoother afterwards, it was jerky before with the sticky pistons. Turns out, both sides had 1 or 2 sticky pistons, very common on Toyota trucks, esp in the NE. Time will tell how long they last but if i can get 3-4 years out of it, i'd be happy.

My truck sits under a carport at my retired parents house most of the time and when they travel, or forget to drive it occasionally my battery kept dying. I have it in Dallas this month and never found a questionable parasitic draw (23-34Ma), but went ahead and disconnected the cd changer I never use as a precaution. Installed the Noco Genius 2, so my Dad can conveniently plug it in when they're gone. I'm a little concerned about heat, so I'll probably adjust the mounting location, but it's a pretty slick

Have a similar setup, only i put mine in front of the airbox. It's been a few years and running strong, even with all the engine heat. I wouldn't worry about it.
 
Been getting extra bad mileage and check engine lights so I finally got around to cleaning my MAF sensor, wish I had taken a photo. bit embarrassing how dirty it was. Got some goodies from Autozone so maintenance this weekend if this good central Texas weather holds on
 
Interesting couple days. Noticed a drip by the passenger side kick panel after it had been parked nose down a couple days and I was too lazy to clear all the snow off the roof. Assumed sunroof drains block, took the cross bars off to make clearing the roof snow off easier. Next day drove it for work and when I left the P light would stay on when shifted and the door locks repeatedly unlocked for a good five minutes. Dash lights on and PO750 code thrown. Pulled the carpet back to find a nice little icy mess/mass. Disconnected the battery, unplugged all the terminals in the area and blew them out with compressed air followed by some terminal cleaner. No corrosion so that’s a plus. Plugged everything back in and all is well. As for the drainage issue, not resolved yet, there was build up of road ice blocking the drains so I’ll need to keep up on that and park ass down until it’s warm enough for the drains to thaw and be cleared. Ran a space heater with the carpet pulled back for about a day and got the carpet nearly dried out.

In other news, noticed the bumper sagging a little recently but didn’t think much of it. Gave it a rinse today and noticed some dick bag must of tagged the old girl…and of course went on their merry way. Undoubtably happened in front of my place, so that’s cool, very neighborly of you who ever you are. Just two more reasons to make me hate winter even more.

Been working on refining the gasket for our chase light, went from open cell foam, to closed cell neoprene, and also started laser cutting the gaskets, it’s so much better!

Upgraded my battery terminals last year because my negative kept coming loose. Only problem was that I needed a 90 degree bracket to connect generic marine battery terminals. Made a simple one at the time with scrap carbon steel to get the car back on the road. Finally had time to come back and make a proper brass one. Small job but it was bugging me for a while.

Installed new heater tees from my Impex order and swapped out the interior bulbs for leds. Tees must have been recently replaced but I didn’t know and they are cheap. 1st picture is the ones I took out.
