hahahaha she's not afraid to get dirty!! i have a limit though!!!

For sure, she helped me do a 20k tuneup on my motorcycle last Christmas before she turned 2 and now if she hears the garage door open she comes running saying "gonna work on papas' bike(truck now)".lol

Haha, that's exactly how my 2 year old daughter is. She loves "working" on my truck and helping me. We were at Ace Hardware and she started taking the tools off the shelves and saying "daddy truck."
 
Bought some tail light vinyl wrapping to cover the lower end of my taillights to make them more "factory looking" with the red bottom and decided it looked a bit off so took it off and now have the remainder of the tint on craigslist.

long story short, i ordered the led black housing tail lights long time ago when i had my black t4r which matched perfectly. but now with the silver i felt it was a little off and really have been digging the new leds that came out with the factory look, clear top and red bottom, but still the upgraded led style. i may just sell my black housings and change to those. although i never had issues with my current leds.
just cosmetics of overall appearance from the rear.
 
My Perkins performance bumper all ready to be shipped to meeee!!!

Yes thats him.... I had to go to Three diffrent vendors.. for the bumpers(front /rear) and one for the rock rails... i like the looks of each piece but sadly one vendor could not do it all... if you find "4 runit" i basically did what he did.. so much for originality right? either way i'm excited... this weekend i'll remove the Piaa's so when the shop takes off the old bumper they wont ruin my lights. then when the new one gets here i'll wires up the NEW lights.
 
Did a little walk through and went through some things in the bay noticed my VC bolts were really loose. Tightened them down a bit, anyone help with tq specs I've read from 4-10 lbs.

Also found I have another issue. Every once in a while when I turn my 4 off and then turn her back quick (within 5min) it's completely dies. No power,turn or click, just dead. I wiggle the + cable and she will fire back up.

First things check the cable connections at the battery terminals. Mine did the same. Pull them off, clean them with a brush and maybe some the acid stuff the battery places use, then tighten down nice and snug. Of it still does it, consider replacing the terminals or possibly the whole battery cable as well. Shouldn't be too hard a fox though.

Finished my grille mod... finally!

Collected the parts late last year and I've been working at it whenever I had a few minutes to spare! Last week I found a place to get my colour matched paint (desert dune metallic 1A5)and this week, painted the grille frame. I put it all together last night! I'll post another pic when I get it installed!

Took her out on her first road trip to Tucson. She did 380 miles without an issue and all she needed was tank of gas.

Nice smooth ride
 
I finally fixed my starting issue. Battery went because of the cold we've been having, then the starter contacts finally gave up. Replaced those then the power going to the starter snapped. Bought an entirely new starter but the car still wouldn't start. After 5 hours of troubleshooting by dumb luck we discovered that one of the 40 amp fuses was bad. The bad fuse resulted in a complete loss of power except for the exterior lights.
Very happy to have a fully functioning truck again.
