That looks a lot like mine did before I went LOCO and did this!!

that is awesome!

yesterday i changed the:
  • air filter
  • pcv valve and grommet, to include pulling the old grommet out of the box it fell into while i was changing it...doh!
  • front wiper blades

also reset the EFI sensor

tomorrow she goes to a shop for an inspection

saturday is tires and alignment

question, though not sure this is the appropriate place for the question, but here goes...re: tundra brake swap...if i'm going to do that, should i hold off on the alignment until i get the swap done?

Erik--
 
Cleaned the throttle body. Wasnt too bad, but noticed the PCV valve/grommet is leaking some oil. So that's next on the list along with spark plugs and an upstream o2.
 
Fixed ABS, the stud on top of my rear shock had snapped off, after only 2 years of on road driving and before it was discovered, it broke the ABS Wire. Had to splice and then seal with a heat shrink cover. Also fixed broken wire on parking light and changed license plate bulb.

Soon will be removing running boards and putting new front bumper on.
 
Broke all the clips on the fender flare so just took them off. Sorry for the bad cell pictures

I went to the junkyard, found a new rear view mirror!

Got an email from Wheelers Offroad, my shocks are on national backorder until April/May :pout:

They're Bilstein 5100's part number 24-100144 in case you want to order them.
 
that is awesome!

No you dont have to worry about an alignment after the brake uprgade. Onky after suspension work. Shocks, springs, lifts, ball joints, control arms, bearings and the such.
 
Tightened VC bolts but didn't have time do clean the engine before it started raining, hopefully this will get rid of the burning smell:shrug:
 
Cut 2 inches off my front fenders, and half inch off the pinch weld........... still rubs #$&*$#!*@#*^%@!*%$ FML!!!!!!!!!!!
 
knocked out the first half of fmu install

Upcoming includes:
Uca, inner and outer tie rod purchase and replacement. Fixing recent windshield?? Sunroof?? Leak

Not my T4R but I picked up a 10ft cargo trailer this weekend. Took some vinyl decals off it and gave it a good polish. We will see how the GSPRunner does when i drag it full out to Montana next month.

Got the LR Upper control arms in. Pressing out the upper ball joints was quite the adventure. Not looking forward to doing that ever again.

Well it wasn't today, it was last weekend...

....but I picked up some new sleeping quarters!

My New Home...
Well Ducmonsta has been getting on me about not posting anymore, and he really gave me a hard time for not showing off my latest addition...

I can't say enough good things about this company...visit them at moabaz.com! They are great to deal with -- excellent customer service, great attention to detail, and very driven to satisfy the customer.

I just got it a week ago, and these pics are from a dry run, in my parent's backyard, to see how everything worked and what I might be missing. I only forgot to bring a can opener!

Happy Trails!

Saturday, I finally got some time to reinstall the fuel tank after the fuel pump swapout. Less than 45 minutes later, I was blessed to hear the old girl roar to life.

Also pulled the running boards off again. Things are getting back to normal.
