    I think I would just do the Toyota & Tundra, raise them even with clear reversing lenses, & put flat black pinstripe above & below 'connecting' the lamps.
    but I also put the road runner & cartoons on my Tacoma so what do I know? LOL

    Last night I was able to use my friends shop to slap a helmholts resonator on my exhaust. It would drone really bad at 1800-2k and now it's great. I can even cruise with my cutout open and I can enjoy it.

    The welding is ugly but the price was right. I didn't drop the y-pipe to have it welded because I realllllly didn't want to go through the pain of reinstalling that JBA Y-pipe since its initial install was a PITA.

    Also, there are about 3-4 inches between the resonator pipe and the driveshaft. It isn't as close as it looks.

    Ordered a new blower motor on Amazon. $32, compared to $75+ locally....kinda sucks that the local places can't/won't price match.

    Thanks, glad to be back!

    Yeah, I’ve seen your truck a few times passing by fuller. I gotta while I can. Been home a total of 8 days in the last 2 months. The truck is dialed in!

    Woke up early to watch the sunrise only to find out none of my camp lights worked. Found a nest on my intake manifold and a bunch of chewed wires leading into the firewall. Thankfully they just chewed wiring for lights and not something important! Looks like wiring is on the to do list today. 3E133118-91F4-49E8-B30B-346FE10581B4.jpg

    Had a buddy build a custom yak rack yesterday. I can unbolt it, and my tonneau cover still rolls up underneath. Built with 1.5" food-grade stainless tubing, mounted to 1/8" aluminum sheets that clamp underneath the rails for the tonneau cover.

    I feel you on that one. One of my first posts here was about the nest I found and how they chewed on my knock sensor wires.

    Im not sure if it was the avocado toast I had this morning or the additional night of Kroil but the axle nut came right off this morning.

    Any tips for removing the diff seal? I have a cheap seal puller from harbor freight. I'm about to resume operations.

    Just get a pliers in there and bend it up. Getting a new one in you just tap her in carefully with a punch.

    Yeah I used the cheap puller from HF that looks like an oil giser, just be gentle not to scrape the housing to bad with leverage

    Thanks guys. I got it out just now. I was a little concerned I bought the wrong part but I think they just changed the appearance.
