Make sure you install a Fumoto valve first. The last bit of oil drains onto the skid plate if you don’t.

 

Appreciate the tip!

 

@gosolo

I know your into damascus and figured you'd get a kick out of this Caspian slide.

 

Great googly moogly that kicks ass.

 

That’s beautiful. I wish I had machine tooling skills and a lathe and a mill!
I do what I can with the tools I’ve got.

 

I might have just creamed my pants…

 

No idea when my sliders will be here and my Valhalla shields are caught in FedEx hell but this made it though. Just need to find time to install and for the lights for it to actually show up…

 

Nice. I just got mine installed this last weekend.

 

Did you wire direct to the battery or did you tap into a ignition powered circuit/fuse?

 

I've got a dual battery so I have it wired directly. I think I would wire it directly anyway. The app has a battery level shut off that you can make sure it doesn't drain down the battery.

 

What are you gonna run with this? I’m curious when enough stuff warrants it.

 

Starting with ditch lights and currently researching light bars for the grill. I am also looking at some LED light for the bed that could be controlled from this controller. Lastly, if I convert to on board air or add a winch I’ll control the relays with this controller.

I thought about the 4 channel version but was afraid I’d find myself short in the future and the 6 channel was only a little bit more.

 

New brakes on the '04 yesterday.
Fun fact: Sequoia rear brakes have disk and drum pads. The inner drum pads are for the E-brake only.

 

Looks clean under there! Did you coat the frame recently?

 

Thanks, yeah just cleaned it and put on a coat of moly grease, @PHM style.
Trying to keep this thing on the road for another 18 years.
The frame is in great shape but the rear diff needed some love, took a wire wheel to some rust and coated it also. I plan on doing a re-grease every fall.

 

Looks great, did you do it yourself?

 

Visited a local Service Dept yesterday, and to go with a winter set of wheels/tires you need to program the truck each time to accept the new TPMS. $55 twice a year, plus the hassle of taking it to the dealer. I may just stick with the wheels I have and put on something better suited for the winter like the Toyo AT3.

 

Yes sir, thanks

 

Yeah, that bill adds up.

 

How long did it take with that set-up, and how did you bleed the brakes?

 

If I was just doing the rotors and pads, 2 hours. I didn't crack the bleeders, just hung the calipers out of the way.

The cleaning and greasing took the most time!

 

Can we reprogram the system at home?

 

I think you can with the Techstream software. That isn't something I've looked at.

 

yes, with bootleg techstream and a cable you can

 

Boo-yah. @Green Thunder @NWPirate

 

I thought this was funny, but then again I'm not a cat guy.

 

Hell yeah! I'll check later and report back

 

Anyone know if you live in Idaho but work in Washington if they'll still take out that tax?

 

Did you get a notice or just had to check your account!?
