What is the light pattern like on the mini projectors? My wife's highlander could really use better lights but I don't know that I want to do another full retrofit like on my truck. Sean

Finally made it out to Big Bend, the truck did well on the trails but I have some trimming to do on the bedsides. Airing down is a must for quality of life though. Sean

Had a super fun experience when I went to replace my drivers side CV boot last weekend. Found a stuck front caliper on the drivers side and went to broreillys to grab a replacment. Got it on and went to bleed it only to have no fluid come out. Took the whole thing back apart and found that the...

Nothing was specified when I ordered and I don't have a ballpark guess. They are doing their job with no issues as of now. My biggest complaint is that they are really smooth where they attach to the battery lug and can slip around a little bit. I didn't like that so I added a couple of small...

Do you have a way to check long term fuel trims? When were the plugs last done? Sean

What does your boat weigh? My ski trailer is right around 2k (guessing 900 for the runabout, 300 for the standup, and 800 for the trailer itself) and I pretty much stay pegged at 186-190 on the scangauge. Its also really flat here but I am typically running the ac on full and cruising at...

On the cooling side, check the heater control valve on the back wall of the engine bay, the plastic tees on the heater pipes, and the t-stat. You can get cooler t-stats, all the way down to 150 degrees but running the TRD 160 degree one in my truck, the temps are locked between 184 and 186. The...

Thanks, just lots of practice by doing it wrong the first time and "getting" the chance to fix it again later lol The terminals are from Jims Machineworx, they kind of slip a little (aluminum to lead does that apparently) so I put a couple of small notches into the inside the terminal holes to...

Finally finished the inverter install, ended up with a 3/4" aluminum spacer for the rear of the stock seat rails to get enough room for it. Circuit Breaker on the 12v feed with all marine grade tinned copper wire and lugs, sized for 2000w inrush loads on the system. Just need to finish my...

Bags are great, stock leaf springs are real bouncy. Deaver G57 leaf springs are softer than you would want to run if you plan on towing, I learned that the hard way. You can delete the overload leaf and do a mini-pack in place of it which is kind of the best of both worlds but even still, I...

I vote Utility Bed or glass fenders. https://www.fiberwerx.com/collections/toyota-tundra/products/2000-2006-toyota-tundra-double-cab-bedsides Sean

The taco guys run extra bracing on the bed corners to keep them from flexing, it might be an option Sean

Seems like it should work, take the tail lights out when you do it, its easy to crack the tabs on them. It might be worth checking the squareness before doing it and trying to do one side at a time by jacking at an angle from the bottom corner to the top edge rather than spreading it. The...

Not sure I would go less than 1/4" on the plate. I ran some really basic FEA on the factory frame and cross bars and found you really should beef up the mounts/frame attachment if you think you are going to be using the full capacity of a 10-12k winch. The factory frame is pretty thin, only...

Thanks, it works well for 90% of things but I found out while prepping for an upcoming trip that I can no longer sleep in the bed of the truck even with the tailgate down anymore. At least I found out before the trip and not on it. The rails are slightly taller than the surrounding humps but...

I really like the airline track I am using from US cargo control iirc. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/yes-its-a-basket-case-no-i-was-not-on-drugs-when-i-built-it-2001-toyota-tundra-2-4wd-build.211931/post-2788541 Sean

I am running a Trutrac in the rear, and a Supra Clutch-Type LSD up front. The front end drives really differently with the hubs locked vs unlocked, just be aware of that. It is probably easier on the driveline/steering with the torsen style out front vs a clutch system but you can totally tell a...

I imagine doing the body lift on a SUV was a MASSIVE pain. How many body bolts/pucks were there? Sean

Any recommendations for traveling with younglings? Our first is almost 9 months old and I am trying to convince my wife to let me drag them along to Big Bend in March. Sean

San Luis Pass in Galveston. Thanks! Sean
