JakeJake (and Dale!) 's Camper Truck |2000 AC

What gauge wire are you using for the power wire extension? The CDH are picky about voltage drop, I have a 20’ extension maybe? In 8ga

 

I knew a tacoma owner with a snorkel. His wife hated it and called it a "dorkel"

 

Mine too ... For other reasons.

 

Your truck has come a long way since Merus. You'll be ready for T2S in no time flat .

Also... I'll trade you my black grill with Lexus emblem for your grill if you want. For shits n gigs. I'm just going to take it and the T3 grill to Alamo Customs down the road from me and tell em to fix the T3 grill, even if they have to cannibalize the OEM one.

 

or better ditches

 

she smol. 14ga if I remembering right, but that's only because I had it on hand. Just for testing pinkie promise. The finished harness will get 10 or 12ga and be around 5' long.

Have you still not wired those?

 

That should be good, cut the positive power wire as close to the big molex plug as you can, or depin and get freaky with it…..
they draw over 10amps at startup/shut down to run the glow plug. I still use my starter battery with mine but I start the truck when I’m turning it on/off. PM me if you have any questions they can be finicky if they aren’t set up proper(fuel line is another big issue, smaller is better)

I just been so busy installing radios, backup cams, subwoofers, grills, and front end refresh

 

@JakeJake you mentioned carbs for workout recovery the other day. What kind of carbs and workout? Is that like carb-o-loading? Just curious. Protnot ideal for a man of size like myself

 

I've only added 15-20 grams for meals after workouts, which is almost nothing. Carb loading would be closer to 100-500g. Workouts right now are 3 mile runs at 7-8 minute pace or 1.5 to 2 hours of climbing 4ish days a week.

I'd like to get back to a 6-7 day a week program to get ready for the outdoors season, but im struggling with compounding fatigue and just general lack of energy. Hard to stay focused in the shop for an 8-10 hour day (a workout in itself sometimes) and then catch a workout 6 days a week. I was hoping that adding some carbs back into the diet would help, but honestly I may actually feel worse

 

I get it. I walk around 30-36 miles in 42hrs at work, then try to hit the gym for 30mins to an hour 4x a week, and walk another 12 miles on my days off. This week I'm starting to transition to more gym workouts, because it's gonna be hot before we know it, and I won't be able to walk as much.

 

As you know its all about figuring out what works for you and staying somewhat consistent. You don't use it you lose it ya know? I know you have been wanting to get back into the gym after your (elbow?) problem, sound like perfect timing.

 

Yeah, right elbow and left shoulder. I been going with increasing time per week since Halloween. At first I was doing decently heavy stuff, once a week, for 30 mins. But I realized I need more rehabilitation, so I switched to going more often, but using less weight. At least for now.
