Makes sense. Kind of the same deal with the little hammer one. I just stick the thing in my bench vise when I have more than a couple to do. Need one that functions like a wire stripper where it grabs the cable at the same time it crimps.

Had my eye on that crimp tool for a while. Hope it works well for you as I think I might get one soon. I have the spring loaded one that you ********** with a hammer and it's not very convenient.

I find it needs plenty more than 24 hours to cure. Give it a minimum of several days before testing the durability. I also tend to put another coat of paint over it. Engine enamel seems to work well. I've done the rocker panels of my truck and it's held up for a number of years. It's never going...

Time to put the spacers in.. The 4Runner wheels sit inside the wheel well a bit more than I liked.

The wheels are all composite, no rubber. Probably the only downside is the lack of rear swiveling wheels makes it a little more work to rotate it. It's light enough to pick up the handle and turn it or slide it around though. I have enough floor defects in the garage already, but also extension...

Continuing my safety upgrades.. This was a pricey one, but if I actually do some of my own work it pays for itself quickly. I thought this was almost comical. Old vs new.

These ones. Might need longer bolts though. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001GMZRQ8

Working on some safety upgrades lately. Here's an Element Fire Extinguisher installed on the overhead rack.

Switching out the lights again.. New stuff in the works.

Huh.. Tempting. That'd be a nice upgrade to my aging K-x

Keep in mind, one of those front points are only for tying down the vehicle during transport and not designed for recovery. I replaced both of mine with some simple safety hooks.

Thanks!

Ordered up a round of Spidertrax spacers over the weekend. The 4Runner wheels sit a bit narrower than I like. Hopefully these bring them out to match the flares. I'm in need of a new floor jack.. Not sure of the best way to get one right now. Might have to be that guy that mail orders one. On...

That's a nice looking bumper.. I think it's a bit out of my league price wise though. The DIY option looks great if you can weld. https://4x4labs.myshopify.com/products/1st-gen-tundra-front-winch-bumper I'm getting a real itch on for some armor. I want a good rear bumper this year for sure.

Thanks! Thought I'd try ditching the black for a change. Metallica gray on the headlight bezel and silver on the shrouds. Those halos are intense..

Rigid SAE fogs installed.. More light mods.. I painted my projector shrouds a silver color and added a pair of Diode Dynamics halos.

When you feel safer in the tent than in the truck, should it still be called a tent? :unsure:

Keeping some tools conveniently accessible.

I'm always screwing with this setup.. Got a deal on a battery monitor and added that to the mix. Swapped some Blue Sea switches in and replaced the two lower ones with a single dual circuit switch. Then I decided to flush mount them all. Sawdust ensues.. Next I'll probably remove the whole...

I'd been considering these Anderson boots. https://absolute-wits-end.com/anderson-sb50-environmental-boot-source-side/
