Made some new rings for the TRD Rock Warrior wheels.

I'm going to paint them, then add them to the LX.

Well, I designed them, then had a cnc machine make them. Thanks though :)

Shut up and take my money!

Seriously, how much for a set of 4? The rock warriors I have need new rings.

I have a set for you.

I don't have the hardware yet, but I'll just tell you where to buy it, or you can use the existing RW hardware. Hardware is pretty cheap compared to the RW HW ~$10-$15 from fastenal.

It will be around $700 for a set of 4, including shipping.

Found the source of the really minor driveline vibration I've been getting around 75mph. This rig was dealer maintained for the first 100k but it appears they didn't grease the front shaft once. Per the manual there should be zero play on the dial indicator. This axis had 4 thousandths, the other 3 were between 2 and 3.



How-to thread on changing u-joints incoming.

Also, could someone with a 2016+ and a pair of vernier calipers help me with a couple dimensions? From eyeballing it the 2016+ driveshafts may be larger than 2008-15, and I'd like to get to the bottom of that. Would need some simple diameters at specified points. Let me know if you can help out.
 
Added some paint, too bad it takes away from the machine marks.

Replaced my driver side door check. Only 55600 miles on my 2014 and it's clicked every single time in my 14 months of ownership. Very satisfying how quiet the door is now!

good job. how would you rate difficulty?
 
One banana job. Worst part was peeling back the plastic under the trim panel, reaching my hand up into the narrow part of door to remove the old door check, then having to reach back in to install the new check. Got that black adhesive all over my arm. I did have a little fuss with reinstalling the white clips as some stayed in the door and some stayed in the panel but my set of HF trim tools made quick work of it.

I have done a lot of work on cars and this is one of my least favorite things to do.

How do you like the ride on the 6112's? I debated about going to them. Have the 5160s on the 100 (replaced LX AHC) and they're a bit... German. The digressive valving is just too firm for my tastes in a truck. I think they'd be brilliant in a GT. I've ran Radflo before in a 100, also digressive, and those were a thing of beauty. I do appreciate that the 100 handles very well on road. You just feel all the pavement flaws. I ended up ordering replacement CDCV's for the 200 as they were a great ride, although they were obviously worn at 60k (15k ago). The Bilsteins should definitely last a long time.

Sorry for not replying sooner. Road manners are great, a little bit firmer than stock but of course I am running e rated tires with 42PSI RCTIP. Hoping to get it off-road this week to assess further.

Especially if you tear it like I did replacing my passenger door lock motor.

Exactly. These days I use a razor to slice the butyl rubber in half then tape the flap up out of the way to keep it from sticking to everything it gets near.. then just seal it back shut.

In a past vehicle I replaced the plastic sheets so had to source the butyl in strips. That was a messy job.
 
Converted the 2nd cigarette lighter to a USB power port in the front and power port for the fridge/ accessories added in the rear cargo area!

Even heat gunned the plate to match the contour of the back trim. No one will ever notice, but I’ll know ;)

Cleaned up the ac intake a bit as it was dusty. There’s No filter for the rear ac

I gotta know how to do these. This perfect upgrade. And yes that rear ac is a beast at pulling in dirt.
