Oh Jeeze, this is going to be an ongoing theme. lazy.. Did my Axle Seals, Wheel Cylinder, Longer Rear brake line, brake flush, and Rock lights.. the light took a lot longer than I thought. Didn't feel like "f"ing with the radiator. It's a slow leak, call it preventive really. Not this one, but maybe next weekend with the bumper install.
Yes, pretty cool huh? Bryan Texas, the right time of year..
Not this one, but probably the following weekend. We will need to cut some support beams and re-weld them. For those that don't know, I got a smokin deal on a "Scratch and dent" bumper from CBI.
Dude, have you started yet?
I would love to help/be involved! Meet at Rob's LOL he seems to be everywhere, and involved with everyone's Mods.. LMAOI know! what is the going record for mods in one day? I forgot..

Sounds easy enough to make that bumper work. I dropped the welder off to day to have a little work done & should have it back by next weekend.
Absolutley Mauzer. Let me know when you are ready to get started. Will be working on Andrew's truck this weekend. :thumb3:
The record for one day? More than I want anyone to know about.

Ok, here are some rocklights I installed this past weekend, super easy.. super cool. I wired 6 lights in Parallel, just ran one 20 Gauge wire around the truck, and taped into each one for power and grounded them to the frame. In the rear, I used a "Sound off signal" Mini3 surface mount spotlight.. truly it's overkill, but if someone is following me down a hill.. I wanted to flash them.
I bought 10 Lights from Oznium.com $2.99 each.. I used 6 LEDS plus the Surface mount spotlight in the rear.
12V LED - Pre-wired Waterproof SuperFlux LEDs

I just need to order my front shocks and panhard drop, I'll be ordering both this month once I get payed (priorities always get in the way of my builds) and I've been doing a lot of work on my bike cause I'm selling it to put a down payment on an engagement ring (yes she is totally worth it).
Where are ya'll working on Andrew's rig at? If you'll be in SA I'll come by and lend a hand (or bs and drink beer)

Let me know when you get some parts!
Andrew is supposed to show up at my place late Sa****ay & we will be wrenching on Sunday. You should come hang out.
The rock lights look good Sam!

In Bryan? I have a wedding to go to Sa****ay evening that will go late into the night (open bar baby!) so I don't see myself making it up to Bryan Sunday:sobbing:

Well, I didn't think the LED light "went the distance" at an angle, so I got some 14.99$ little fog lamps for that purpose. 45 Degrees in the front corners.. Definitely more effective for night wheeling.
Thanks Rob, I am very happy at my $30.00!!

Taking the "T-urd" out of "SaT-urday" is such a nice change from all the F this F that, LOL

It doesn't fit right, going to try forcing it this weekend. Then Cutting and re-welding it is the next option. 1st attempt coming up real quick.

MAY!? damn dude.. that is a really long time! I am feeling kind of guilty now, I think I bought my runner in June... and decided on the rear bumper, uh... last week? J/J Brian.. can't help picking at the guy that has all the goodies for the Runner!

Yes, 3rd Gen bumper for this vehicle.. I asked for deals and a beat up model, and he had a brand new one that he said "shrank" more than he expected when he welded it. He said you could probably hammer it on there, or you "might" have to cut the supports and shorten them before welding it on. Either way, I got it covered and Steve gave me a hell of a deal.. and I didn't have to wait for 4 months either..
