    There are some great videos that explain it much more in depth , the basic explanation is by replacing the factory fuse with the GM diode it takes the voltage from the alternator from around 13 volts with the truck running to around 14.5 volts while running. It satisfies the AGM battery charging voltage. Helps recharge AGM batteries. Hope this helps answer your questions

    I picked up a five pack , planning on doing this same mod to the girlfriends 4runner. FYI you will have to file the small plastic tabs on the side of the diode down to fit in the factory slot.

    Finished the door cover pieces for the interior silver strip in the daughter’s truck. The picture is without a coat of clear on them but they are all finished, all we have to do is attach them this weekend.:)

    Well got the Bilstein shocks installed today. I think it got rid 5CE0A227-3C2E-4F2F-9930-7848DD73473B.jpg B43A424A-D2A3-40B7-AA6D-CE8CE60A309B.jpg 99430061-CBDB-43E8-A77D-3EBAAE4EBA41.jpg 6D7F0CD4-96BD-4C27-A422-8BC0B3FDD439.jpg of the vibration in the truck. Will know better tomorrow when I am doing 65-70 down I-30. Biggest hurdle was getting my hands on the bushings for the shocks. Bilstein requires stock Tundra bushings. The ICON bushings were too small to fit the 5160’s. The only place I could find them locally was Toyota.NAPA and the other auto shops did not have any available even on their web site to order. Called a local shop that does a lot of modifications and performance upgrades. PAD in Scappoose Or. Awesome shop in my area. Anyway asked them if they had any bushings, they hooked me up no cost. I am a customer of theirs but service is top notch.

    They look to be the oem ones from the door, if you want to remove them normally you take the whole door panel off, cut the melted/plastic welds handing it to the door panel, then paint, and to reattach use something like a jb weld epoxy etc.

    I actually like the look of those more than most aftermarket tails I've seen...

    Thanks guys, I'm not sure why it didn't cross my mind to just use a multimeter on it either.

    Looks great. Loooove those wheels and tires. The lettering on general grabbers always looks so cool.

    I was looking at the previous Gen back in Dec and saw these new Gen but they're only available as pre-orders.
    Ive been checking since January when they're going to be available and AlphaRex finally released them last week or early this week.

    Bro! That's the mother trucking truth right there. Had a brake light out and took me 3 weeks just to find the time to get to it. Washing my truck properly takes 2-3 weeks of planning to get the time needed. I have plans for my dash as well. But time wise it's gonna be a while.

    Totally agree as well! With a 2.5 year old and a 3 month old, every project takes much longer. But luckily my oldest daughter loves the truck so getting her to spend time with me while I tinker makes it a little easier lol.
