    I had sourced mine from @831Tun. Hit him up!

    These are the parts that I got to piece it together. Exactly same setup as @reywcms

    Well I added some couplers to the bottom of some of the 10-24 bolts on the Rago dash mount to act as feet,thing moves quite a bit, for those saying it’s “rock solid” I call BS lol my phone bounces quite a bit.

    not sure if it will help at all.

    Just a shite day all around. Big snow storm moving in tonight and I finally got a new spark plug and coil for the ATV so went to install them. Install was a PITA, and when done, still wouldn't start. Said to hell with it and loaded the ATV on a trailer to take it to a shop. During that process, I set a padlock on the rear bumper for the hitch and forgot about it when I lowered the tailgate. Nice dent...

    20231209_153954.jpg

    Then, I noticed that my canopy was no longer flush with the bed...

    20231209_154250.jpg

    That explains why my homemade pool noodle canopy/cab gasket was no longer sealing. So, loosened up the bolts, moved it forward to where it should be, and tightened it down. Now my gasket doesn't fit, so will have to start over with smaller diameter pool noodles.

    Not really sure why anyone would do this, looks absolutely awful, so they are perfect imo..Yellow powder coated lug nuts. This is how I explained it to the wife, race trucks have yellow lug nuts, we should also.:notsure: Have the same wheels in black, gonna switch soon but that won’t help much.o_O

    It’s just a coupler arm that typically goes over the ball. Added some friction tape to the claw part to further keep the vibration down. Bolts up to the same holes on the Rago mount

    LOL! I added red vinyl to a spoke. Learned this on race cars to locate valve stems. Old lady said the same thing to me. Didn’t make it a month lol

    Right on, I made a prototype out of pvc. Gave it a test rip around the block seems 100 times better. Gonna run it like that for a bit and if it is in fact good, I will make it out of something solid. I appreciate the idea. IMG_6216.jpg

    Way superior to regular wipers. I won’t buy traditional frames anymore except for my classics and only for those because they get driven so little I’m not spending the money.

    Hey Rey, silly question. I know you have a different air box. But do you think the Stillen intake shroud could be integrated into the Tundras stock air box? It's had to tell if it will interfere with the lid or the front mounting foot.

    Negative, unfortunately it would hit the lid. I explored this with the magnuson airbox which is very similar to a stock unit.

    New wheel day here! Finally got rid of the stocks.

    Decided to drive over to my parents and take a matching photo to the one I originally took of the truck the day I got it. Not a ton has changed but I’d definitely say she is slowly looking better ;)
