I know diesel is trendy right now, but I guess I just really dont understand the need to do a swap to diesel? I have never had a dislike (well, lets say I didnt hate) of any of the powerplants Toyota put in my various Toyota vehicles over the years. But, if you looking for something different...

I'd seriously take him up on this....one walk around and crawl under from a Toyota finatic can reveal quite a bit.

Yeah but that rear window Fab job was....well.......FABULOUS. Seriously great example of a clean DIY job. I have read through that section of this thread about 20 times and still enjoy it, especially the part about the neighbors complaint from all the grinding noise and "having some words"...

885 will be perfect for reg cab. Check out Justinhw build thread. He has single cab with 885s and ARB bumper.

Oh man, scary $hit. So thankfull you walked. Bummed the first real extended tank truck got wrecked. Looks like you have a brenbo or TRD brake kit upgrade in your future. Also check out what Wheelers has in the way of brake upgrades, you can stop by their shop on your way to/from Bend...

Are they still in business? I thought they went under due to poor management and inability to actually make anything? Not that I'm biased. He actually has some great ideas and what could be very well executed products, he just needs someone to manage the business end. I had one horrible...

So, I removed the sway bar. After many hours on the road, there really is no difference, only there is difference in how the front end droops on uneven surfaces and there is no longer an obnoxious creaking noise when the sway bar is fighting the suspension. The only difference I can see is on...

Not to sidetrack the thread but I think you'll love this build thread since it seems this is what your trying to do..... http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f202/justdifferentials-f450-4x4-rv-build-thread-305976/ I checked it out last summer at the NW Expo event. Sweet rig and a really cool...

Because it was white! Haha. Good point. Why do the swap if its essentially the same truck? Maybe new one was auto?

Allright, I have a new mission, the perfect cable wrap. Thanks for all the feedback!

Wouldnt it get routinely shaken up enough just driving around?

How do you like the Optik 4 pack cans? What did they treat/paint the inside with on these cans and have you stored fuel in them yet? If so, how did the interior paint treatment hold up to exposure to fuel? What kind of fuel was it? Very specific questions I know, just curious about these...

Dont get me wrong, I know how to use the winch, this is more of a question about the best way to re-spool the cable when cleaning the vehicle prepping it for storage. After reading the Warn guide to winching, from which I am quoting below, and after reading the thread above, there are...

Thread revival. After killing a cable a few weeks ago recovering a vehicle that was blocking the Icicle Creek Brige in Leavenworth, I need to pay more attention to re-winding my winch. We were stopped waiting for a break in traffic to make a left turn before the bridge heading upstream, an...

C'mon guys.....this is AMERICA! When. Does debt ever get in the way when dreams are involved? Probably right. Plus when its new you wont want to beat on it and get it dirty.

X2. No real value in the TRD.

Loving the stories! I spent three years in Panama in Bacas Del Toro along the carribean coast in a town called Kusapin, your making me want to drop everything and get back down there....if only life werent so *******in* complicated! Keep up the awesomeness.

Nice quick steps. Thanks for documenting!

This is a great thread, tracking build progression and now a dillemma.....what to do if you add a small person to the mix, what if it was twins (yikes). I had an extra cab 98 Tacoma and loved it. I had to let it go to make room. Now I have two kids -5 and 3. I have an 07 DC Tacoma. Couple of...

^^ serious plastic dip cool aid going on here....I'm going to have to try it!
