To get that "off" light to stop blinking you can pull the "tems" fuse in the interior fuse panel under the dash, just a little FYI.

I will try that today, thank you. Any idea wha else that fuse might control?

The auto ride height and adjustable shocks

Worked perfect. Funny thing is, I removed 3 fuses and 1 relay that all were labeled Air suspension. I wonder if the other ones should have stayed.

Turns out removing the "TEMS" fuse from the dash fuse panel takes care of the flashing "off" light. Problem solved.

I redecorated the lift bay to help make our sponsors feel happy and then proceeded with the build.


(Disclaimer) We were sent a set of these upper control arms for evaluation. I cannot in good conscious recommend these arms to the average builder. There are too many issues that must be addressed. For instance, the sleeves are too short inside the bushings, The washer for the joint are too small, and the quality of the bushings and hardware are still to be determined. Also worth note, the grease zerks works to pump grease in, however they also let the grease right back out.
I replaced the sleeves and washers, ordered new zerks and am keeping a close eye on the bushings. Time will be the deciding factor in this component. The only thing that I cannot fix is the LOUD color they use. YUK



All installed and coil overs cranked up an additional 1/4 inch to get the truck closer to level.


Sat her down, tightened the main bolt and ready for a test drive. (this is where I learned the zerks blow all the grease out.

I did the same... They run the compressor and AHC computer and sensors...

In your opinion then, I do not need to put the other fuses back in? It does not appear to be causing me any problems.

Sliders are not ready yet, but with the extra large plastics on the running boards I was rubbing hard with the 285s. So (even though it was not planned) we ditched the Running boards today and instantly solved all of our rubbing issues.

Umm. You put a snorkle on your GX?

Uhh....Yea, all the cool kids do...

Why not stick one on the GX, I already had it sitting here and I even have one for the 1st gen Sequoia and the 05 Tacoma.

We have snorkels on 3 of our 5 trucks and only ever needed it on once. But that's not to say we won't ever need it on the others.

Cool

Why would one need 5 trucks again?

We sponsor different events across the US and some of our own sponsors overlap. So we send different vehicles to different shows depending on what we have going on. The thre trucks we use for off road events we don't use as DD. So my wife and I also have a DDs that we use on a regular basis, that have no mods (except my tundra has a Scio Radio lol)

Looks great! Hoping to add a snorkel to mine eventually! Whats next for the GX?

The Prado 120 snorkel is a perfect fit when you are ready.

We are having Hefty Fabworks build Sliders and a bumper for it. I still need to install the ARB compressor I bought, and I'm deciding on what exactly I want to do with the roof rack. I considered, mounting the ARB rack I have in stock, but that requires customer mounts and perhaps narrowing the rack. I will have to spend the day with the mounts before I decide exactly what I want to do.

Nice! Im interested to see how the bumper and sliders come out!

What arb rack are you trying to mount? I should have my ARB 3/4 touring rack in the next week or so with the Prado 120 fit kit.
