Merry Christmas y'all!

Merry Christmas to you, too!

Today, my uncle gave me my granddad's 1975 Coleman 425E Dual Fuel stove! I cleaned it up a little, rinsed the tank out with fresh white gas, cleaned the leather pump seal, filled it up with fuel, and it lit right up! I will definitely be using this a ton! I also got a Lodge 12" skillet and 12" dutch oven from my grandma for Christmas!

This stuff will sure beat the tipsy 1 burner propane stove we've been using

I still need to find my final video or just make a new one

 

[Chuckles89]

Hopefully, I'll have the new lights finished tomorrow! I'm just waiting on some adapter rings for the shrouds (they're supposed to be delivered tomorrow)

 

[Chuckles89]

I got the lights done! I decided to go with no shrouds after I found out that I ordered the wrong ones for my specific projectors and I don't like any of the other ones. Really transforms the look of the front end. The light output is stunning!

I finally got around to fixing my rear hatch wiring that I have been putting off for over a year....

Glad to hear you like the Akebono pads a lot [emoji1360] That's what I am planning on using for my next pad set, and hadn't heard of anyone running them on their 4Runner yet.
What projectors are you running? Saw you said Morimoto, but didn't see which model- MH1 I am guessing? Any output shots?!

Yep, Mini H1 7.0 No output shots yet. I can get some in an abandoned train tunnel this Friday lol. I don't really have a good place to take any where I live without just stopping in the middle of the road.

Well, I wouldn't want you to do something that's unsafe, but...

I like seeing good headlight output. What kit did you use for your bulbs and ballasts?

Snow adventure!

Oops, the clutch slipped


Cool trailer


A winter wonderland






Fun little ditch crossing





So I'm pretty sure I have a 4.30 rear diff and 4.10 front.... I've been having binding issues since I swapped the rear axle and I pretty much confirmed different ratios when driving straight on the snow today an watching the wheels hop. Once my truck thaws out, I am going to do the spin test to confirm that it's a 4.30 rear. I'll be on the lookout for a 4.30 front diff at the junkyard...

I used the locker a bunch today so I wouldn't be binding all the time. The cable actuator works great! Sometimes, it didn't want to unlock for a while sometimes, but it wasn't a huge deal. I like the way I use vice grips to pull the cable and it worked great! The cable is tucked away when not in use and then when I need to use it, it and the vice grips go perfectly into the door pocket!

 

[habanero]

Good job on the cable actuator! Thought of you the other day for some reason...

Carlsbad.

 

[Chuckles89]

Rock lights!! I had to use the rear locker switch for something right?? lol

Sorry for the blurry pictures... they're probably really big too but oh well












I know it looks like a mess, but it's not that bad. I added a second aux fuse box- this time in the engine bay for my HIDs, LED Pods, and air horns. I also completed the big 3 upgrade finally.

 

[Chuckles89]

First of all, sorry for the crap pictures

Last week, I bought some spidertrax spacers from a guy on craigslist because I couldn't pass up the deal. I tried them on the rear, and they made me rub on the lip of the fender.... not cutting that lol. I already sold them to a friend








I swapped the old aussie locked axle back in so I could use 4WD next weekend



From the test drive. I also raised my headlights up some more. I pretty much have the adjustments maxed out

 

[habanero]

Nice helmets.

Well, you've been busy. Have fun next weekend.

I hope it'll be fun! We should have 4 3rd gen forum members there

Awesome truck! The front bumper is the bee's knees.
