Got my Torqmasters Aussie locker in today! The install went great except I tore an axle boot trying to reseat them into the diff. I through some RTV on it for now but I needed rear axles anyway so I'll be replacing those soon. This was my first time modifying a differential but Torqmasters makes...
House Tuning is just one of the many brands on Amazon that sells a 'universal' kit, just make sure you get the 1" kit. Then use the thinnest rubber spacers that come with the kit and you'll get a nice, snug fit. I got those and the Quik Fists on Amazon.
Upgraded my crappy stock mirrors to a pair of aftermarket mirrors from Suma Performance. These mirrors are convex which provides a wide angle view, they are tinted blue for night driving, and they have heating elements and integrated turn signals. I'm very happy with the end results. Wiring in...
Thanks! It was pretty easy, I just bought a momentary switch on Amazon and wired it in as a jumper to the OEM hatch release button. Just pop off the rear hatch trim and it's all there.
No major modifications lately but may be changing some things up this summer! Here's a picture from this weekend on my way back from Sacramento via the delta.
Made a temporary bed platform for my upcoming road trip! I started with a tri-fold full size foam mattress and trimmed it down just enough for it to fit. Then I had the foam pieces recovered individually to make setting up and moving things around easier. Getting in and out from the rear doors...
Finally got around to mounting the axe, shovel & recovery boards up on my roof basket. For the axe and shovel I just used Quick Fist clamps. For the boards, I made my own mounting system using all stainless steel hardware and some pieces of 1/4" thick Delrin cut into 1"x4" pieces and drilled to...
This trip will be about 10 days and will start in two weeks. I mapped it out to around 1800 miles and I want to keep it under 200 miles a day average to avoid spending the whole time driving. I have a route planned but this will be my first time driving most of these roads. I'm looking for...
The next project on the list (aside from the bed and getting everything ready for my road trip in a couple weeks) is figuring out the best way to handle the mud and dirt coming into my cab from the air vents behind the rear bumper. The vents had to be trimmed for the new bumper to fit which left...
For the passenger side, I removed the stock intake resonator and sealed up the hole using a 2" ABS pipe cap. I used RTV to seal it up, and two self-tapping screws to make sure it doesn't go anywhere. I didn't get any pictures of the process but here's the final result. Not the prettiest but...
I bought a universal reservoir from Amazon that fits perfectly in the space between my headlight and the battery. It was only 25 bucks and after figuring out the mounting and swapping the motors, it was plug and play!
edit:
Here's a more detailed rundown of what I did with the washer fluid...
