anyone need 15’ gusseted spindles?!

 

@SC_TRD I think these will fit your 2012.

 

Don't need those in Texas.

 

Bringing up an oldie. Do you remember ID of the hose on the AIP? I want to build my own relocation as well.

 

“Need”..??! Or want.. I am certainly intrigued.

 

AN10 fittings, so whatever hose size that is, 5/8"?

 

My man! Just saved me $200+ and got a project for the weekend.

 

Built LT taco for sale!!

That bed cage is just wrong. Ya can't bolt through the wheel tub....... Maybe I missed something?

 

There is another tube under it that goes to the frame.

 

It isn't bolting to the wheel tub there is a plate underneath it that runs down to the frame that it is bolting to. It looks like it is just sandwiching the bed so that a bigger hole didn't have to be cut.

Edit: Mark beat me to it. I don't know if it is good or not just my quick understanding from looking at the pictures.

 

who are you? what have you done with matt?

 

This is Skynet I have revoked posting permissions because Matthew is a dumbass.

 

The bastards would be a salesman’s worst nightmare lmao

 

@GodlessPro so you are saying you wanna get it as a daily..?

 

That would be me "missing something."

 

Milo build that?

 

Nah, hard pass for me. FJ40 and Class 11 Bug are next in line.

 

yawp

 

i like your style.

 

It’s looking like I’m going to need to replace my 1st gen sooner than I expected so I will be in the market for a 2nd/3rd gen in the near future. If anyone has any leads it has to be 4wd and crewmax and trying to stay under 20k.

Also does anyone have any experience with the bench seat up front? We are a family of 5 but often have my niece or a friend with us and wondering if it’s worth losing out on features for an extra seat. We just got a travel trailer so my truck will be used mainly for trips and such but my wife does have a 7 seater for a non-trailer trip.

 

I had one on my old truck. If they offered it with the 38 gallon tank I would’ve gotten it again on the new truck. It’s definitely not very comfortable. Only small kids can really fit because they have to put their feet up on the center hump. But it does come in handy when you need that extra seat on shorter trips.

 

Why you selling the first gen?!?!

 

Thanks for the reply, sounds like it’s convenient, but not really a road trip option.

It’s getting older and showing it’s age. Been overheating and losing coolant which I believe is a water pump leaking. Will need TB/WP replacement, brakes, other oil leaks (valve gaskets most likely) and we just got a trailer. Makes more sense to sell than dump a couple grand into it, just to sell eventually anyways. I’ve been wanting to move up for more room as the kids are getting bigger and I’m not as comfortable towing long distances with the truck as is. Our trailer is close to the recommended max tow capabilities and 1gen brakes suck. I’m at 220k now and rather just upgrade and not stress if something will go wrong each time we take a trip.

 

@SCRunner12 you plan on trading it in or selling?

 

I don’t think a dealership would accept my pile of junk haha. It’s pretty beat up cosmetically. I’m going to call some shops about doing the work needed and get quotes before really looking. If I can stay under 1k for parts and labor I will probably keep it for a while longer or at least till the 2022 come out and people start selling/trading in their old trucks.

 

Locally, I really like Mick's automotive for Toyota repairs. They're on Thompson Ave across from where San Lo door shop used to be. I've been trusting him with my trucks for 20ys now. He (Tracey) is very honest.

 

Great to know, thanks! I’ll give him a call tomorrow and check his prices. Typically do all my own work, but between the kids and work spending 8+ hours on the truck isn’t an option.
