Damn those are some pretty calipers! Pics of the mount?

 

Thanks, they are already painted GOLD?
No pics yet but I'll post them after I paint and install

 

Sweet!

 

Drifter33 is making custom CB mounts, you can find him on T4R. They are very well made and don't interfere with the hatch:



I haven't had a chance to run the coax yet but will do it as soon as I get time, also ordered a lunchbox locker for the rear

 

nice mounts. does the antenna bang against the body at all?

 

Nice Brian! I am planning on fabbing something similar for mine.

 

I haven't driven with the antennae mounted yet since I haven't had time to run the coax, I'm not going to run a spring and if it hits I'll just do the ol tennis ball mod.

Thanks Rob

 

Bought Wheeler's poly bushing kits for the steering rack and front sway bar, ordered OEM Tundra pads, and got a vacuum switch to hopefully fix me EVAP CEL (P0446)

 

Why no spring? What kind of antenna are you going to use? Is it flexable enough as is?

 

I have a 48" Firestik, I don't want to use a spring cause it will just allow the antennae to hit my Runner, I'd rather snap the antennae then have to repaint the back of my rig

 

I thought that is what the tennis ball mod was for?

 

Guess your right, I need to see how much flex my antenna gets but I don't currently use tennis balls.

 

Went to Rob's and did the timing belt, water pump, etc. Rob did most of the work cause he's the man (he hears that a lot lol). From tear down to rebuild it took us about 8 hrs, Rob made it look easy. I didn't take any pics but Rob has some of the mess my leaky water pump was making (wanna post those buddy?).

 

Here they are, First is the crusty pink mess caused by the leaking water pump


The new Asin pump installed


New Timing belt installed and front of the motor all put back together.

 

Thanks again Rob!

 

Nice dude... ya i did my timing belt with my dad and it took us about 8-10 hours to do. So when are u getting that locker in?

Figured ur prob busy with work and all but was wondering if u had any time to help with installing my BL since ive nvr done one and i know that u installed urs so u know the basic routine

 

I've got about 5 projects I'm currently trying to get done and I'm working two jobs right now so my free time is few and far between, but if you can give me a date and time you'd like to get it done I'll try to work it in. BL is pretty simple and would only take us an hour or two, PM me and we can work something out.

 

Installed my Detroit EZ Locker yesterday, took me and a couple buddies about 6 hours (while drinking/bsing)

Getting used to all the ratcheting and popping but don't regret it one bit, my work schedule is crazy right now but I hope to test it out soon. No pics cause I was soaked to the elbow in gear oil and we've all seen lockers before. Also replaced both drain and fill plugs with magnetic low pro plugs from MC.

 

Did you happen to regear when you installed the locker? If you don't mind me asking, how much did the locker run you?

I'm just trying to get a feel for how much regearing and locking is going to run me, but I definitely need to go see Rob and get my timing belt, water pump, etc. done first.

 

I left the stock 4.10 gears, its just an auto locker so all we did was remove the spider gears and install the locker. I got the locker for a steal off fleabay...i think it was like $150 shipped. If your looking into regearing and getting a locker at the same time you best/cheapest option is gonna be ECGS. I plan on regearing and getting a selectable locker in the future and I will have all the work done by them. Check their website for pricing: http://eastcoastgearsupply.com/c-622...lamshells.html
