Tourists suck

Hot ones aren't (The teenage part of me), but their driving abilities are absolutely horrible. Somewhere I have a picture of a tourist driving on the sidewalk as if it was the right lane. The sidewalk was about 20 feet away from the road...

Need to see this
 
Couldn't find the one I'm replying to, but this one is close considering it is at the exact same stoplight. The car on the bike path was on the right side of this road basically next to the the camera car. This one is pretty great to I'd say.

People do not know how to drive. That's what happens when you own a Prius
 
Recently added some fox 2.0 piggyback shocks to the rear

A custom built front plate bumper

Added delta 3/4" marker lights to the front and side as turn signals/DRL's

And lastly, I'm adding a 1/2" intake manifold spacer that I bought from Extreme Truck Performance

Installed pics to come
 
Hey, it looks good bud! I myself, am looking at Fox suspension. It's been almost three months with the spacers and I'm all ready to upgrade!

Thanks man!

Haha I love the fox shocks!

I wish I knew that I was gonna upgrade twice. I would saved more and got the too of the line the first time
 
Just a little update.

I decided that I am going to SAS in the next few years.

I will be installing Currie Rock Jock high pinion Dana 60's front and rear with 4.56 gears and ARB lockers.

It just seems like a much stronger setup, plus SAS is just awesome. I feel that IFS is great, but definitely has it's drawbacks. It won't be my daily driver in a few years, but the way I plan to build it, it would be comfortable for a daily commute, and VERY capable off road!

Gonna get the rear axle first and probably just regear the front diff in the meantime with 4.56's so I can use 4WD

:hungry:
 
It'll be a while but totally worth it!

It's around $4,000 for the rear axle, locker and all, and it's around $8,500 for the entire front SAS kit including all the brackets, gears, lockers, steering setup, coilovers, etc.

My friend is going to help me install the SAS kit when I get it. He has a love for suspension geometry and welding, go figure. So it'll be a really good price for install. No crazy install costs like I've seen. I've seen someone dump $10,000 into install and shop time alone. I'm looking at a long weekend, some pizza, beer, and $500 lol
 
Finally... Finally, FINALLY hard wired my GPS and radar detector.

I tucked wiring away. GPS wires up in the headliner and down the A column. Radar detector down between the windshield and the dash.

I used a two plug splitter from autozone that I got for $5.99. Used wire from previous projects.

Tucked the Garmin plug up in this little alcove

And I tucked the radar detector into the main harness

Holy crap. I don't remember what half of these wires are for...

And I have yet to relocate my center diff lock to the center console, and because of my OTRATTW switches in the dash, It won't fit back in (you have to trim the switch holes in the kick panel to fit the OTRATTW switches). Fuse panel locker switch ftw

Wow man, after seeing all that, to me it is no longer "The Trail Groomer", I will call it "Medusa"! Lol.

Well let's see, I have 4 sets of lights, CB, CB amp, HD radio tuner module, ghetto traction off switch... As well as some wiring for footwell lights and crap.

There's a lot to cram under that dash!
 
Well I was 16 at the time that I did my traction off mod and the footwell lights, and I was not very keen on taking my time to loom and label wires. That's why the crap and ghetto words were used for the mods I did when I was 16 (though the traction mod is the best mod ever).

It all fits, it doesn't hang down. I'm fine with it
