Welcome to probably the biggest update in the truck so far.
An overview of what's been done so far and what's left to do:
- Sub box - built, speaker installed, wired, temporarily installed in truck until it can get wrapped in carpet(might do it myself depending on cost)
- Back panel - built and...
Alternator is done and working well. Got a sweet little setup on top of the battery for a fuse block.
I am about to be in between jobs and I have about 2 weeks off. I have rolls of ccf, silicone speaker surrounds, rolls of mlv, tape, etc all either in or on the way. Gonna finish full sound...
ok.
got the new alternator and water pump installed. i was really hoping to fix the massive oil leak i have but time got away from me. i also replaced the drivers side motor mount, but not the passenger side cause of time. started on the project on friday evening, and started the truck back up...
picked up one of the stock dash clocks for the truck a couple weeks back. finally took the hour or so to pull the dash apart to install it. cleans everything up just a little bit. way better than having a non functional bass knob in a panel that kept falling out.
picked up a bunch of stuff for some repair work in the next few weeks.
got a gm 12si alternator and plug as well as the trail gear 22re to gm alternator mount. painted it black.
i also have a new water pump, all new main coolant hoses, and new coolant to install.
still planning the full...
recently picked up fly fishing, mostly just as another excuse to get outside during a time of the year i otherwise wouldnt have much of a reason to.
i took an into lesson a couple weeks back and got to practice my casting this last weekend on the llano and james rivers west of austin. i stayed...
if i was more equipped to deal with a multiday trip and camping in possibly incliment weather, as well as working remote while overlanding, i would be all about it. i need to do some research on what i can get away with, work-wise, to be that remote when working remote.
yeah the more i'm looking into it the more im realizing:
1. the weather will be crappy for mountain biking and outdoors stuff (main motivation)
2. being in town to do anything will be a challenge because theyre in lockdown for the most part
lesson from this is i should have looked into it more...
thinking about making a trip up to Santa Fe, NM for a couple of days to work, wheel, hike, and ride mountain bikes. would probably be leaving this weekend and be gone the first half of the week.
does anyone have any recommendations for trails to either drive or ride on in the area, or...
I may have to pick your brain over PM about your 7mge swapped rig. I may have access to a cheap doner car and am thinking about that as a long term swap candidate
went wheeling this weekend, for the first time in a while. my good buddy had his 2016 subaru outback (rallitek lift, motegi wheels and falken wildpeak tires, roof basket and various accessories, it was a nice little rig) stolen and so he bought a brand new 2021 tacoma trd off-road with the help...
One more month down in my 12 months of camping once a month goal.
this was the first solo trip I've done in a while, and man it was nice to get out of the house and away from EVERYONE. except my dog. but she doesn't count.
I had planned to meet some friends out near driftwood to go to a...
