buxmj Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Wow, just wow. I just read this whole build thread and I am not worthy to be in the same thread as you. You are doing amazing work, thanks for sharing and thanks for being so detailed oriented. Now I must go clean my mj from top to bottom with a toothbrush and q tips. Buck.

It's a lazier way to mark a thread for notifications. You can click the "Follow" link at the top (which doesn't make any notifications), but you can also reply to a thread and it defaults to setting the thread to follow as well (there's a "notify me of replies" option at the bottom of the reply thing and it's default is "on").

Pete M Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 it's also a modern shorthand for : "your project is super awesome and I need to follow the progress." I see it a lot on the faceybook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limeyjeeper Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 Thank you guys. It is definately an expensive labor of love. It is actually more fun the second time around. Much more to come........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Gwin Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Very nice build. I am not far from you in Justin. You have given me some great ideas, along with some inspiration to do a lot cleaner work on my build. which restoration shop did you take it to for the body and paint work?

Limeyjeeper Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 So I managed to source a lower radiator hose. I used a Dayco universal flexible hose 81141, Pretty nifty product. Also got the Battery located. I didn't like the way the stock battery box looked. It didn't support the battery as well as I wanted. The battery I used is a 34/78 Red top Optima part no 9003-03. 800a I moved it closer the the fender to give me more room for the intake. I used Rusty's Optima battery box. Pretty nice product. I had to drill new holes to change the angle but it turned out pretty good. Gave me decent clearance for the upper and lower radiator hose Also managed to mount the Warn 8000 controller for he hidden winch. Next job is dynamat the interior. Get the Dash installed and see what I need to get the double DIN Android radio to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveevryjp1998 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I'm pretty sure that's the same flex hose I used as a fuel filler neck hose on my first mj. I think it lasted like 5 or 7 years running gas through it 😆 so it should last forever probably for its intended purpose. I was quite happy with it.

Limeyjeeper Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 So when I was at SEMA I came across a couple of products I am going to use in this build. The First one is the Decked drawer system. It has 2 drawers and two ammo bins. Really nice product. The Comanche bed is almost the same size as the Tacoma so with a bit of trimming it will fit. They have a short and midsize, I m going to use the short one because they I am also hoping to add this:- I am working with Truckcoversusa to hopefully build a custom size for the Comanche.

Or at the very least show it off. NAPA and others will let you peruse their stock of hoses in the back of the store, your correct lower hose can/will be found. Don't want to clutter your build page, however, your intake tube/hose can also be found/created. As seen here around the 7:00 mark. The difference is in the details. And it matters.

Limeyjeeper Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 I have a truckcoversusa.com cover with the "junior" toolbox being shipped to me on Jan 2nd. Once I get it I will install it and get some pictures together. These are not even remotely cheap but I think they are the best cover on the market.

Limeyjeeper Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 This is the best cover you can buy. It supports 500 lbs. So you can stand on it. The cover is weatherproof. Made of aluminum extrusion. I only found very high ratings for it. Mine will be $2,500 including shipping. Yes a lot, but you get the best Tonneau cover available and that is what I wanted. Any rollup cover is going to be expensive because of the complexity of the mechanism compared to a tri-fold or soft cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
