Recently added a few mods to make the 79 a bit more convenient for getting away for a few nights. With a 3-year-old and a 10-month-old I have really struggled with the sleeping situation. I have always wanted a RTT but it needed to accommodate...
The last few days has been building out FTE swap harness.
Unichip with OEM Toyota plugs so it can simply be removed or installed by plugging in these two plugs.
ECU wiring.
Love this wire we found for projects like this. Everything...
Well, after two years of sitting outside I brought my truck into the shop and my plan is to start ramping up on finishing my engine swap.
My goal is to drive it out to Rubithon this year…. Crossing fingers…
Took a break from the 60 and took the Kawasaki Jet Mate to Mallacoota for a weekend.
It went awesome. I thought i was in some trouble for a bit coz it wouldn't get up on plane. We'd been drinking at the pub for a few hours and still had to get it...
Hello everyone,
I just installed the controller into my 1984 bj42 24v Canadian spec.
Installation is very straightforward and all literature provided is very concise and accurate. The factory harness connection needs to be swapped as they are...
Sooooo
After my last tests I made a 3rd version of my superglow electronic replacement.
I fixed all identified hardware bugs and made global improvements (stability, power supply variations,...). I added a wilson switch port that does not need...
Well I'm home for spring break for the next 10 days or so, thus I have access to a garage and welder! Well my quarter panels have had rust popping up on them for the past 2-3 years now, I grind it down, convert it, paint it, and it returns in a...
Hello,
Chance's indicators began to act erratically.
I checked for bad grounds, and found a stripped wire. The pervasive legacy of alarm installers. I repaired it, but the problem persisted. The combination switch is fine, and the rest of...
This time I put the transmission into first gear so I can wiggle the rear output to wiggle the input shaft to fit into the splines on the clutch and into the pilot bearing. Tomorrow should be done with putting everything back together and fill...
The 3D scan is in hand, drawings are underway! Will have to bolt the crossmember up to the transmission again and check the angle the transmission sits at.
I thought about going with this method but don't have a good way to transfer the center of the input shaft to the plane of the belllhousing mounting surface. According to various engine/transmission manufacturers there needs to be less than...
The next day we ventured a bit further south towards Kimberly, trying out an area I have never been to. After a long dusty, bumpy and winding road we had arrived at the trailhead. This area has a few huts scattered throughout and an abandoned...
The fall weather in Western Canada for 2023 was exceptionally mild and nice, this made for a great excuse to do a proper 4wheeling trip with a few others. Canadian thanksgiving long weekend was the first weekend of October and for many is the...
I also worked on setting up (programming) my VHF radio for logging roads, which was fun. A product designed with a serial interface and with a Windows-only application requiring complicated drivers found on Russian-language websites... Fun. Then...
to support the engine, and free up the jack... my garage hack is to put a wratchet strap around the frame on both sides and sling under the engine to support or even raise it... much better than a board, and if you raise or lower the car, it...
