    ISR Plugs, made on my 3D Printer!

    This install is similar to replacing your intake tube with something like an Airaid intake tube, but not quite to that level. It really just removes the silencers from the tube, which should make the intake noises a little louder, but I haven't noticed much on mine. I'm sure that once I do the...

    ISR Plugs, made on my 3D Printer!

    Intake Silencer Removal. I replaced the big Helmholtz resonator boxes with these plugs. Thanks dude! Shoot me an email addy, and I'll send them off. I haven't yet drawn the plug with two threaded holes, but I'm sure I'll get it done soon. You could always mod the file of yourself if you...

    ISR Plugs, made on my 3D Printer!

    So I finally got around to taking some pics to view instead of the video. I am working on modeling another version of the large plug for the front that has two threaded holes, since I noticed that some trucks have two vacuum lines running from here (I believe the other is for the power...

    ISR Plugs, made on my 3D Printer!

    Hi everyone! I've been wanting to do the ISR mod on my '98 for a while now, but never got around to it. With the absurd amount of rain we've been getting lately, I have been spending more nights indoors, and from that came the realization that I could design and print my own ISR Plugs. So...

    What mods to make while interior is gutted?

    I wish I knew! my interior is tan, but my rear left cargo panel is grey. It's what was at the pick-n-pull that day! lolol I'm not picky about much, as long as function reigns supreme. Heck, my front seats are blue, but I got those because they were in as perfect of shape as any I've ever seen.

    What mods to make while interior is gutted?

    I did the 99+ rear panels in mine as well. (well, just the passenger side for the larger cargo pocket) I just want to warn you now if you don't already know, IT IS NOT A STRAIGHT BOLT-IN!! There is a significant amount of cutting involved. There are some support webs in the rear walls that...

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    I finally drank the Kool-Aid. My '98 has been having a weird misfire and stumble, but only on the first start of the day, and usually for about the first 8 miles of my drive to work. If I drove anytime after that, it ran fine. I was thinking Head gasket, and once it got to temp and things...

    7 blade trailer connector placement

    Just put it in the bumper. Do it even half right, and it will look better than anything hanging from anywhere else out back. 'installed look' > hanging

    Anyone tried the Moog "tall" Springs?

    I though about going with MOOG, but decided against it after seeing some bad reviews from others on the forum, especially 4th Gen owners. I ended up going for ACDelco replacements from Rock Auto. They were a little bit pricier than Moog, but not by much. The cool thing about the ACDelco is...

    POS TOY, my $800 '98 SR5

    Yeah dude, I've had the wheels on for a while. I guess I never posted the pic on my own thread! Not a great pic, and it will look better once more pieces are coated the same, but here it is:

    POS TOY, my $800 '98 SR5

    I got Skye re-inspected today and she passed! They pointed out a fault in one of my new headlights, but they excused it after I showed them the clip that they thought was missing. I just have to get in there and reattach it. No biggie. But I drove her around a bit and she drives real good...

    POS TOY, my $800 '98 SR5

    I though it was going to be a struggle, but as soon as I placed a wrench on it and almost kinda applied pressure, it twisted. It was barely finger tight, so it just needed a little touch, then came right out. It's in the trash now. Thank you sir! Yeah, that dude needs to see his way out of...

    POS TOY, my $800 '98 SR5

    Well, I got the truck inspected on Monday, and it failed. A few things were wrong, but nothing hard to fix. I needed new headlights because one of them had broken adjusters, probably from when the PO smashed into whatever crumpled the bumper and fender. So, I ordered some replacements from...

    TB change ahead – need a new torque wrench — any recommendations?

    Up until two years ago, I ran a calibration lab for the Navy, and I was the mechanical gauge calibration specialist. Since I had access to the calibration tools, I ran MANY different torque wrenches through the ringer, including a lot of HF ones for myself and others. EVERY ONE OF THEM was...

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    I got my truck inspected....and it failed. Right headlight adjuster was messed up and couldn't be adjusted, right front rotor is undersized and the pads were hanging over, and the parking brake doesn't hold. So...I ordered new repo headlights for a 2002, two properly sized rotors, and new...
