What have you done to your ride lately?

[PSU Taco85]

Been a while since I have logged on, over 2 months....damn work and life get in the way of wheeling!

Anyway, got some new meats for the truck




Built a bedrack for a buddy








And a new daily driver, starting fresh with 0 on the odometer, I hope to keep it stock

Currently it is raining and the rig is parked in the driveway.... so I washed it?

 

[Silverback]

Maybe I'll park mine outside, there are 4000 dead bugs on the front of my Taco.

Mine is currently stuck outside bye default. Due to 4001 extra pieces of garbage in my garage we only have room for the wife's over sized station Wagon at the moment.

Swapped the stock MC back onto the Runner but didn't get a chance to bleed the brakes to see if it changed anything because I had a dinner to go to. Will have to do that Monday. Hoping it fixed my issues. Also pulled one of the tires off to have it fixed as well as a tire on the gooseneck.

Made a good start on the tray to mount my tool box to my bed. Should get it finished up tomorrow. Also got a harness bar ordered from 4xInnovations.

got bed on, now looking at what springs to use for rear . has 3" blocks w/overload now, might do another hummer hybrid pack or as much as I hate them considering the chevy 63 swap

 

[tx_shooter]

Have you looked at the F150 swap? Pretty much all the drop of the Chevy swap without the leafs hanging out so far in back. I picked up a set for $21 when I put them on my rig.

My bed lives!!

Installed an actual forward facing camera so it isnt swapped, installed new taillights so I could pass inspecion, and gets washed today

 

[Silverback]

I need to install my cameras yet. Maybe I'll get off my ass and do it this weekend. I got 2 new ones, both are HD and both can do either front or rear.

 

[thekidcatcher]

get up and do it already!

 

[Silverback]

I like looking at a pile of cameras on the bench.

Busy weekend so far. Changed the spark plugs and changed the gear oil in the front, back, and transfer case. Also made mounts for some rear facing LED fog lights. They are mounted right behind the cab.

Remind you of your porn shooting days?

 

[Silverback]

It does. I don't miss that money shot camera though, it was getting pretty nasty towards the end.

Mount those things down low behind the rear bumper so you get all the light, not just a glare from the light shining off your rear tire and tailgate. I had some Dualies mounted behind the cab and I never used them because the light output sucked when it hit the back of the truck.. I had a "shadow" area 20-30' behind the truck. If you are using them as backup lights put them down low.. and if you are using them as work light mount them on your swingout tire carrier.

Mine where like this.. lots of light output, just in the wrong areas. One time they came in handy was camping and Scott arrived late so I lit up his area to setup his tent... but that area was 50' away from the truck. If they where on the swingout it would have done the same thing.

So what size did you go with? Those look considerable larger than the old ones... whats the plan? Do we smell the same mods Larry did to make room or are you cutting off the IFS?

Thanks for the info. I put mine in the same spot to mostly use as reverse lights when its really dark outside. I will now be looking for ways to mount them on my swing out. I really want to cut 2 holes in my bumper and sleeve it with square tube to mount the lights there but I dont have the tools or skill to pull that off.
