Djlarroc, i hope you are putting your diff's in...
me, i am filling these hole on the rear fenders of my truck, i did it to my 4runner as well. it seems that dirt and pebbles love living behind the plastic covers.


everything nice and clean. the backside is just as clean to keep trash out of my weld. everything has to be spotless for tig welding.

here is the patches and the tig tungsten below.

its raining its A$$ off here in eastern oklahoma too...im in vian..but i plan on doing some stuff to my truck...(since i have 2 garages) prob just simple stuff though..like..lower my seats...MAYBE cut my floorboards out to get them replaced...start prepping my wheels for paint...yet again...last time i didnt do the best of jobs but it was just to see what it would look like..so now that i love the look im going to take a few hours to properly prep them. thats about all i have lined up to do..maybe tear apart my 4spd that has a big hole in one side of it..due to my accident (see the post titled SCREWED AND TATTOOED for pics)..thats about it though

Changing out the back speakers in the 4Runner. I also finally replaced the factory ground with a nice 0 gauge ground wire. I hope that stop the lights from dimming when the heater fans are on full blast.

Also trying to get a 4 gauge line run over to my Jacobs Accuvolt. I plan on putting a buss bar in under the hood to run power to my acc lights, CB, and stereo.

All in all it sucks cause its like 24 degrees outside. But atleast the sun is out.

Just got 35's and they still rub the rear of the fender at full crank, I already ripped off one of my mudflaps turning into my garage-so I took em off.
More cutting/trimming in this area.
[IMG][/IMG]

also trying to fab something to hold down my new yellowtop-it's not high enough to use the stock one.

...no rain here in Seattle, lol.
