oniondip Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Finally got around to being productive again.. Mailed away my broken locker last night, should have a new one in a couple of weeks. And today my plan is to install my new shocks, since the rears are toast right now. And install new speakers in the cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Command Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 I know this is gonna be hard to believe but I found a use for my old LED's :) Mounted them to the mounting bolts of my backrack so now not only can I light up what's in front of me but also on the sides. Quickly becoming not "convoy friendly" hahaha. I used a relay for these so I can have all the lights on one switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 My old tundra was starting to show its wear after a summer of wheeling, so I decided to give her a going over, thank God for my parts truck. Had to replaced a front axle, that took care of the " clicking" and come to realize the bottom.balljoint was making the "clunking". My MPG was hurting due to a sticky front caliper, and found the rear brakes needed an adjustment. The parts truck had brand new daystar struts with 3 in level kit on top, score! Another inch of lift never hurt! I came across a couple custom bumpers, something a little more tree friendly and appealing to the eye ( for those of you that seen my tundra she was no fashion queen Haha) and have to swap a few doors, last trip got caught up between some trees!, did I.mentiion our trails up home are tight? Also stealing some rock sliders of another old rig in my yota graveyard to save the new doors, pics to come soon guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I don't know if anyone around the city carwashes use acid on the rims, but a fella up my way does, saves the time from.polishing, just sprays it in and blows it off with pressure washer! I think he charges less than 20 bucks too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 20 bucks is a great deal! I've got some of that spray-on stuff from crappytire in the garage that smells like ammonia....it's pretty evil stuff, gonna try that first Any idea who might sell something like this - I have two of the same already, want 2 more for the rears http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Eagle-Alloys-Aftermarket-Wheel-Alloy-Center-Cap-Chrome-4-5-Diameter-/350930679939?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item51b5193883&vxp=mtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autumnwalker Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 autosol is good stuff - a tip to keep them shiny too is to have them clearcoated once you polish them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjoecanadian Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 got my new-to-me Kijiji bargain rims installed thanks to Bill at Double Z - they also came with a warning ;) so.....keep original, or flat black ?

SQRLPWR Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 tires stick out past the fenders, so watch out for compliance inspectors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjoecanadian Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Or buy fender flairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Liberty had them stick out about the same, just the wider flares made it look like it wasn't. Had no issues, but again, its up to the compliance officer and how much they want be a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Garden edging makes quick n easy flares! Can pick up a 20ft roll for under 10 bucks at any hardware store, some self tappers and presto! Legal beagle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
