Ordered the parts I need to do the 400W anytime mod. I'm planning on adding two outlets to the back of the console as well as a USB/cigarette lighter combo that I'll wire into my blue seas fuse box.

Remove that POS factory inverter and mount your own.. its what I did. 1500 watt in the toolbox and a 200 watt under the console for rear console plugs. 200 is plenty inside the cab. Powers 2 115v and a 5v USB plug. Also added 2 12v plugs. Both inverters go to my second battery so I can run them at any time.

Well the stock one is 400W and I already paid for it. :) I have thought about it quite a bit and I'll probably just use the OEM. It'll just get used for charging a laptop or camera accessories really. I want some USB outlets for any passengers in the back and a 12V socket so I can run my future ARB fridge as well.

Got my new diff tube in today, time to press on the bearing and install this thing and get my pig back on the road. No more ADD actuator to fuss with :D

As long as you limit your testosterone influencing music selections while wheeling, you will be able to go back to enjoying wheeling. :)

Drove over to College Station this past weekend and had one of Robs buddies who owns an automotive repair shop do a transmission flush and fill on the Taco. He had a new machine from BG Fluids that was damn impressive! At first he ran some cleaner through it and then 16 quarts of synthetic BG fluid. The sight glass was a perfect light pink! Took it for a test drive and damn.. I could tell an immediate difference. Sharper shifts, into reverse is instant. I have 95k miles on the Taco and this was its first trans flush. Figure if Toyota tells us to go 100k miles on that dino fluid they put in the trans from the factory this stuff out to last at least that long! So... if you are in need of a trans flush. Go visit Asher Automotive... have him give you a ride in his 700+ horsepower Tundra while you are there.

Also, on the ride home I noticed trans temps about 10 degrees cooler.

It certainly is, but I figured the adjustability would help as I build it out. Went with the higher load coils from the start & hope that wasn't a mistake

Looking forward to the install pics. Might even be worth the drive down there to see the sexiness in person.
