I have had a few folks ask about pictures of the new lowers , so I thought I would post a few shots
I obviously have removed my swaybar. I can barely tell it isn't there with this suspension. I see no need to put it back on
Next up
Limited time has caused a delay in actual progress...
I have been busy with work stuff since Expo, but today I made a little progress.
I was always going for more of an old school look, on the lights, with new technology, of course, so my next thought was to get the round bezels for the lights. This makes the light look bigger in size, which...
Thank you
The lights you are talking about should give you lots of coverage.
Back from Off-Road Expo . It was actually kind of exhausting , getting ready as I could be, then actually getting there. I left Thursday morning at 3:45 AM , first stop was to Deaver, to fix the springs. They...
Yes I still have some specifics to cover. There ere (3) ten inch lights that will be installed in the hood bulge They are new technology and have a backlit feature. They are called the S8. These will be amber
(1) 20 inch S8
Under hood lights will be simple and rock lights
More than a...
Since I received a big box of lights from Baja Designs, I figured I may as well begin installing them
First up 3 lights for the front bumper. You know its never as easy as just bolting them on and plugging them in.
I bolted the first one, and realized that the angle of the bumper didn't...
No This was a platinum edition with Rock Warrior wheels . Big brakes will only work with 20" wheels Since I won't do 20's , I won't do big brakes
A pictured released to me by Total Chaos
All my lights from Baja Designs, have been shipped . This next week should be interesting
Someone...
I tell you what. I can pm you my vin number, then call Toyota and ask for a price quote for the passenger side mirror for that truck. The list price is north of $950
I called a few aftermarket companies including CarID and they don't have the mirror for this yet.
I was misquoted yesterday...
Before the suspension , I opened up the body mount, to make sure I had clearance. Today, I went ahead and closed it up. Wheels/tires clear just fine .
I have a hard time understanding, why plates are sold to fill the gap, when its really pretty easy to cut them with an angle grinder, then...
One Switch-Pro panel is officially alive.
I have been working on rack pre wire . Also running all the cables through the roof.
All roof lights are now pre wired . When they come on, it will be mount and plug in
The (6) S2's are actually working. Those are actually the only roof lights I...
Here is a PDF on how this dual battery system is wired .
Most 12 volt dual battery systems that are negative ground will work similar.

The basic instructions are this
I think national luna recommends 4 gauge, but I use...
I know. It's almost like it needs 37's
I received these today I will be running 2 of these through the roof of the shell, for my wire runs Along with these I got junction boxes. I like this idea, instead of several plugs that I need to mess with. Once I figure out mounting for the J...
Thanks
I waivered on them, but ultimately decided they look great. Deaver is building a new set. nothing like working with a quality company :-)
Thanks
Thanks
The fuel tank is a big win for me. The trip to California, is less about figuring out where the next fill up is. There IS a...
thanks
I didn't need the spacers. It looks correct without them. The stance looks good, with this set up
here are some poser pics from Yesterday
After the suspension install I could immediately tell the difference, on the road. Only problem was, I was carrying all the stock parts, that...
I got it back late
So far I can't get it to rub , anywhere. Tomorrow maybe a little dirt test
Here are a few sneak peeks at what's going on
It was way dark, but I tried to get it under some light
Here's a little shot of the shiny stuff , with a little something extra. One of the...
I thought about that as well. I will deal with one problem at a time. I know they are making good progress on the install, so I may even get it back this evening. I thought I was going to get the Method Mesh wheels, but decided on the standards in a machine finish.
Thanks
Here is the most recent news
Dropped off the truck. Within 2 hours, they had the rear done.
Then comes the phone call with a potentially big problem
The backspace for the Rock Warrior Wheels, worked well to stuff 35's under the truck stock, but with the new suspension, the...
I took some time today to remote mount the winch Solenoid in the engine bay behind the, air box. I will need to fab an actual mount there, for now it is wire tied to the fuse box. I wanted to make the winch operational, so I could wind in the rope and put the Factor 55 thimble on.
My next...
Thank you .
If there is any impression I want to leave, it's that I try and think about everything, that's needed to complete the thought .
I do have sponsors, that have helped out in a big way. Even with that, I have lots of time and money invested in this project. I set goals and try to...
I wanted to get most of the weight in before I got the suspension installed . It will be good to try and set everything to actual weight I am rolling with. This will also tell me if something needs upgrading, but I hope not
I don't have the name of the crimpers, but here is a picture of...
