In other news... I just bought a few more things >>>
The plug is magnetic, and hot damn is redline expensive! But I read its great in cold temps. Even in summer 2nd gear isn't smooth and winter is terrible so hopefully this makes a big improvement. I'll letcha guys know how it works for me.

Awesome pat!! I have used Redline oil and its some good stuff.
Have you ever changed your shifter bushing and seat? I always put the marlin seat and bushings into every Toyota I have. Really makes a great improvement in the quality of shifting.

Its just bolted on for now. With my little welder I could barely penetrate enough to weld the nuts on.
Don't really need it welded until I buy my TG winch mount plate... So I'm not in a hurry. Still, progress though!

Well, my grille is on. Looks pretty neat. All the sanding was a pain, but I like the results.
Trucks got a lil more character now. I'm trying to sell my spare set of doors so I can buy my winch mount plate n get movin on that front bumper. Oh and I need to get my cb radio before the tuttle trip!

Definitely not a direct swap. I had to drill holes and weld nuts on the body to get it lined up perfect. Then u gotta trim your light bezels and that was kind of a guessing game. My drivers side I cut first so my passenger side turned out better. I'll try to find a spare and redo the drivers later probably.

Thanks for all the positive words guys. I had some time today so I put the redline mt-90 in.
I can tell it's a bit smoother, but hopefully it really shows me that the $60 was worth it this winter.

I've had this thing laying around for years. Always wanted to install it on my motorcycle, but I got bored and it went in the truck.
Glove box clears by a few millimeters it's perfect. Sometimes it's the little things... Giz I need to snag that shifter knob you were talkin about.

So I don't know how this is "supposed" to be done, but I own my truck and I do what I want. That said, last fall I sealed the upper windshield with black silicone. Somehow a little water was still getting in and dripping down the inside glass. So I'm trying this stuff. Couldn't find flex seal.
We'll see how it works...
