Wow, not sure how I missed this one. Killer build man! How long did it take to get your rebuilt 3rd back from JustDifferentials?

BTW, not sure if you have seen it, or if it would even help, but I found the following video to be a good insight into how they build one of their front bumpers. This one is for the Moab 2.0, but I'm sure the steps for the 1.0 are fairly similar.

To give the proper credit where it's due, I must mention that I was inspired to do this by the fella who sells the Anti-Dark kit for the Tacoma. If you want something already put together and simple, he sells a nice neat package. Given that I have been working a lot under the hood recently in...

Red braided sheathing came in today, so it was back to work I went. Luckily all I had to do was pull the power cables, trim the sheathing to length, and heat shrink the ends. Everything is nice and clean now. 20150126-P1010310 by Tim Souza, on Flickr

Well, there's a good reason why I'm a mechanical engineer and not an electrical one. After having to bust out the multimeter and troubleshoot why the compressor was not working it turns out that the Blue Sea fuse block won't power a circuit unless it has a fuse. So regardless of my down the line...

The electrical fun continued today. I made it my goal to get the relay mounted, the wiring harness extended, and the switch hooked up and mounted in the cab. So with that being said, here we go! The relay was a piece of cake to mount. As much as I would have preferred to make a mounting block...

Hell yea! It seems like there are a ton of Toyota guys on this particular forum that all live in the Westminster area. I would most certainly be up for a meet up some time. I'm going to try and get my truck in the shop this week to get the tires siped. Of course the Front Range gets snow...

The cables, braided sheathing, lugs, terminals, and butt connectors came from West Marine and BestBoatWire.com. The lug crimper and insulated terminal crimper both came from Amazon. I got the following ones http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003X51S00/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1...

So I had a chance this morning to revisit the auxiliary fuse panel and breaker that I had been working on before with the thought of actually starting to run some wires and get power to my accessories. I had previously cut out the base panel and drilled all the holes to mount the breaker and...

Before I had a chance to install my OME coils on the front of my Tacoma I rolled around with the ARB for a week or so. It will for sure sag out the front end some, even more so with a winch. For the most part it wasn't an issue though if you do hit a good bump it will bottom out. So long as you...

Could you wait a few months to install the lift? Honestly the front is what I would be worried about more than the back. Having the heavy duty suspension without the presence of the ARB up front will make your front end pretty tall and stiff and could have an adverse impact on the life of your...

4 Wheel Parts has them on sale right now for $109 a piece though a buddy got Goodyear to quote that as their normal price. Perhaps swing by a tire shop and see if you can arrange a test fit. That way you will know for sure.

From what I can recall when I looked into the subject a year or so ago, the issue was more to do with second gens than it was for first gens. That being said, I don't think there were any issues with the Pro Comp 7069s fitting.

*RANT* Are there any marine wiring places out there that aren't terrible? The order I placed with West Marine was sent to the wrong address (zip code auto-populates a different town, however, they had the correct address on file) then when I complained, they sent the SECOND package to the wrong...

I have not done the tire sipping yet, but my experience yesterday illustrated to me how badly I need to have it done. I'm sure that any of the Denver area guys can attest that the weather yesterday was some special sort of awful. Due to the snow my 15 mile commute took me 2.5 hours to get home...

Cool man! We must nearly be neighbors. I'll be sure to hit you up sometime, as a fairly recent transplant to the area I don't have a huge network of friends, especially those who like to explore.

That played a large role in my decision as well. If I was using a roof top tent the short bed would have been adequate, but because we like to sleep in the bed the 6 foot was the more practical choice.

I had a short bed, got a long bed, and would never go back. The 6' bed is just so much more useful, whether it's in every day home owner use, shuttling bikes, or for camping.

Cool! Looks like your Dad has a pretty ************ wood shop. I too am kind of surprised that you went with wood for the bed as well, I'd be curious to check it out at some point and see how it holds up.

Also, as I have an SR5 without ATRAC, the yellow wire mod (tucking this link here for later in case I forget http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/technical-chat/51946-4low-trac-32.html) will go on the to do list until I can afford a locker. Secondly, I have to ask the opinion of those out there who...
