What do you have still waiting to be installed?

My list:

DR KDSS harness kit
OEM flip open pocket cover under AC control
Driver side grab handle
Trail Grid Pro Sony XAV-AX8100 bundle
Southern Style Off Road slimline front bumper
Extreme LED stealth 30" light bar
RSG rear lower shock guards
RCI aluminum gas skid
C4 rear diff skid
Reroute radio antenna location

Oh yeah the FSR Aspen Lite RTT when I get to order it on March 20th 2023

 

I'm convinced that those with long lists of items waiting to be installed do not how to work on their own rigs.

 

Dam i forgot:

Total Chaos gusset kit for front spindle
Total Chaos alignment reinforce tabs
ECGS driverside CV bearing kit

 

Nah too much OT work/family life then enough down time to work on the truck

 

I work long hours as well, and have a very busy life, but still manage to install whatever parts come in.

The longest thing I had sitting were my wheels because I wasn't sure what size tires I was going to use. Once I decided on the tire size, those wheels and tires were on the 4runner the next day.

On my other rig, I had full suspension sitting for a maybe 2 days before I put them on. Like I said, I have a busy life and still manage

 

Work, school, not being interested...don't worry, we can wrench.

 

K. Not all of us are you.

 

Been wrenching for 30+ years, not in a hurry to toss things on right away. As a federal first responder I don't have the luxury when a emergency comes around.

 

Perhaps they live in cold areas.

And/or don't have garages.

Maybe it's been raining for months.

Or snowing.

Or they have children.

Maybe those children are involved with school and sporting activities that require a lot of after school and/or weekend time.

Maybe they have activities they like to do that has precedence over wrenching on shit.

Or maybe all of these at the same time.

 

Well aren't you something eh

 

Two things:

1) The ECGS bushing replacement kit has been sitting on my bench for a few months waiting for the rain to stop. Originally was supposed to be a pre-emptive move, but am getting the resonance from the front in 2WD indicating it's time.

2) Have been living with shitty sound for a year even after doing major work to install an amp (AudioControl D-4.800), sound deadening, and a sub. Have concluded that head unit has hopelessly poor signal quality. Went to do some tweaking on the DSP last week and the serial port on the amp is now not working. Frustrating. Would advise others seeking better sound to either deal with the POS that it comes with or dump the HU altogether.

@Doglover2003 What do the OEM flip open pocket cover under AC control looks like?

 

it’s kids for me. I have to do everything on weekend mornings IF there is not a game or other event we are doing. I only have a short list again. Plano case and shovel mount on my pro rack (it’s about $60 in parts from a hardware store, a Plano rifle case and some Yakima mighty mounts) and my FJ Toyman shock mount sliders. That will do it until I break something else, or figure out I need something for function.

 

Yes

 

All I see are a ton of excuses that many other people have as well but still get stuff done. Not sure why everyone is so butthurt.

 

Would make life a lot easier for many.

 

So I got the tires installed (255/80/17 Toyo Open Country AT3, Load E, on TRD Pro wheels) and it really doesn't feel much different. My shaking at 60mph went away so that's cool too. Lol. Still going to regear eventually, I'm eyeing 4.56. We'll see.

 

Great feedback, thank you.

 

I’m convinced by those that “get it done” don’t have a life.

 

How so?

 

@Nano909 if you don't have children, which I hope you do they're the best, then just stop now with this

 

Like I said, I work long hours and have a very busy life, and still get things done

 

Sure

 

Every ones priorities are different. And honestly, working on my vehicle isn’t my top priority. I have shit from when I had my taco still sitting around, and could careless, today.

 

I hear that! Working on my vehicles is one of my least favorite things to do. I almost regret buying a lift, because I'm dreading installing it.

I used to enjoy wrenching when I was a kid, but I'm over it now.

 

2020+ headunit going into my 2015 SR5 PREM non-JBL. Just waiting for the headunit to arrive and the transplant harness.

 

Whoa!

That's a pretty pricey option, no?

 

There's a reason some members end up on the ignore list.

 

If you buy brand new, yes. I bought a used option. Still pricey I think but would be similar to an aftermarket headunit. I wanted a bigger screen and android auto but also wanted to keep it OEM so I was willing to pay a bit more.
