Snow Wheeling

We had a snow storm here in North Car­olina this past week­end, so I got to do some snow wheel­ing. I mostly trav­elled the back roads, look­ing for peo­ple that are stuck or need help.

I took a few pic­tures of down­town lenoir, and some of my truck.

Strobe Lights in the Toyota

I recently put some LED strobe lights on my truck. I made the strobes myself. Each strobe has 27 high inten­sity LEDs. Also each strobe costs about $16 dol­lars to make. The front strobes are hid­den behind the grill and are sealed in a project box. I tied the strobes to the turn sig­nal lights, which I replaced with LEDs.

I also replaced the gauge clus­ter with one that has a Tachome­ter. The new one has white faced gauges, and red LED light­ing behind it.

I got me a camper top for my truck, and it looks great. I also ordered me a class III reciever hitch and a new bum­ber to replace that rusty stock one.

:: Update ::

Tore the engine apart and found out that it had two sunk valves. So me and Dad replaced all the exhaust valves and replaced the dam­aged knock sen­sor, and put it all back together. And it runs like a new truck now. Now comes the sus­pen­sion work, I am going to replace the rear leaf spings with some out of a 96 Tocoma.

Just bought a 94 toy­ota pickup truck. It has a V6 with around 200k miles on it. I got it for a pretty good price too. It has a dent in the bed, and a burnt valve, but other than that it’s a nice truck.
