Instead of replacing your radiator, bypass the transmission heater tube inside the radiator. You certainly don't need it in the desert. There is a separate transmission cooler

If facing the rear window, look on the passenger side of bed. Kinda closer to the window, you will see a small plastic plug on the right side of bed. Pull plug out. You can mount your spare with the original center screw that holds the spare. I have not tried a full size tire yet, but it works with the donut.
@trailcairn1717
@trailcairn1717 Ай бұрын
Excellent. Yes, I'm aware of the spare tire mount on the bed, but I don't like leaving it there as someone might want to permanently "borrow" it. 😒 I've not tried to mount the full-size spare there. I doubt the hardware will work cause it's probably too short. Let me know if you try it.

Yep radiator fittings, water pump, any seals, all fitting for suspension. brakes and pads, tires tread, check underneath the back seats for the supporting bar to check to see if it's fitting into the seat, easy fix, check underneath the carpet to see if there is water do the same thing up front of the cab to see if the sunroof is leaking. Check the locking cable for the trunk bed storage easy fix just need to look for the cable with the ball at the end that goes into the unlock on the lid of the trunk storage, just need zip ties to fix it. check for yellow tape on the cable pull back and zip tie it. Make sure if you get one get a inspection on rust too. Either don't buy that one or if it's just a little bit take care of that first.

So what IIIIIIII do is remove my front passenger seat. It’s a game changer I promise. I level out the floor bumps with various folded U-Haul blankets. Super easy. Allows me to stretch out and it’s easy to exit from the front passenger door without ooching too much Actually opens up a lot of room for storage and organizing and you’ll have easy access to your ignition and ventilation controls/fir cracking open or closing windows. I also have window visors and slip on mesh window screens from Amazon. Also using the right rear seat folded down turns it into a pretty cozy lounge 😃

Trabuco and speedgoat are completly difrent shoes and compering it doesnt hawe a any sens. About speedgoat there is a mafatespeed also. Nice cuschion good control and much better then speedgoat but not too good for streat walking. I am using for long hiking hoka stinson. Good impact, very good stability, pleanty of room in forefoot, very good for a streat and also for a woods. Kind of all terrain shoes. And cuschioning much better than in bondai or trabuco becouse of stability with it and the impact back is super great. Con is that driving in car is a little bit difficult.
