Pinay's Build...

Thanks to @TheBeast for his suggestion of the ICS-Fab dash mount.
It was an ok install, if you don’t drop a nut and can get both hands inside under the dash. Once you get the bolts lined up, which I did have to enlarge the drill holes, it’s easy from there. Not pictured inside is the dash mount support plate, which I would suggest if you do any off-roading at all.
I think I will order the double long arm so I can get the iPad closer for navigation.

B-day coming up real fast, so if anyone wants to gift an iPad Pro to use in this, I’ll PM you my address to send it to me! Hahaha

 

Awesome addition to the already awesome truck. Now you can dial in your Gaia and lead the charge

 

I’m slowly getting to know Gaia but I’m sure there are more to it that I should know before I’m out on a trail and really depending on it for navigation.
@TheFreshMouse gave me some great pointers on map downloads so I’m hoping once I get a GPS receiver to work together I’ll be set to go!

 

All these beautiful photos yet I stopped and stared at the ribs and fried rice the longest. Lol

 

They were even better in the Big Bear setting!

"The Penny Build"

 

July is a get back to doing work month, need to recover although I'm going thru dirt withdrawals.

Tundra's shined up real nice now! Are you headed out exploring tomorrow?

 

Yep, taking Mijo out into the Wild.

 

Have fun!

 

Awesome truck! Thanks for sharing.

~Stew

 

Thanks Stew!

 

I know man!! It’s cleaned up now!! I’ll post a pic when I get home, been in garage hiding..

 

I have the dirtin bug now, too much fun!

Tundra likes it when I spend hours cleaning up n buffing, so do I...

 

You certainly can! And I will do you proud and get him shined up after gettin dirty!

 

Been crazy busy at work, I was gonna find out when bumpers finish, should be if not done already or next week. I’ll call today. I’m anxious to get em on..

 

Ok, @RCIoffroad - got my rear diff skids, and NO instructions. I did do a quick search on YouTube and there seems to be some install vids, I hope to get this on with that.







Oh, and I can’t forget the fact that while installing the transmission skid I find out washers were missing. Really ruins the flow of an install to go get washers at the local Ace.
I am hoping when the tank skid comes in that install will go smoothly...

 

Waiting for those rci skids got me like @Pinay

 

Some on the group buy already have their skids!

Fuel tank. Flat and long. Cut it. Send to me! Simple.

 

No I'm talking about your skids lol

 

Dang... you been working hard Money Mon-eT!

 

Wish someone woulda told me!

 

Did a few things this Sunday before it got hot outside...

Got this tire step during Amazon's Prime Day...

$38 Powerbuilt Heavy Duty Tire Step for Truck, SUV, Non-Slip Steel Surface, Adjustable to Fit Tire, Fold Flat for Storage – 647596 Large, Black

I was gifted an awesome dash cam!! For purchase, it would be this:

Rexing V1LG Dual Channel Car Dash Cam FHD 1080p 170° Wide Angle Dashboard Camera Recorder with HD Rear Camera, Built-in GPS Logger, G-Sensor, WDR, Loop Recording

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071LPV7G6/ref=nav_timeline_asin?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

It has a rear camera, and originally I had it taped to the back window, but then one couldn't roll it down! So I found this and was able to zip tie it into the mount, pics of install:

Took a look at the rear differential, and NO leaks!!







Got the RCI diff skid and install as follows:









NO instructions came with the skid, so if this ring is installed wrong someone let me know!! It fits exactly right in this position so I'm saying it's good to go!

 

I had to make this right!!
After install I was at RCI’s site and they had the connections oriented the opposite of how I had it, so just was outside correcting to the right way...

 

Wow great job!
Now that you know how to install the the diff skid.
Maybe you can give me pointers when mine come in.

 

Looking good in here!

 

Sure! I'll put em on for ya while you finish drone videos from Mojave!

You got Victory 4x4 diff skids?
