Yup, last time when I dropped the tranny and replaced leak from rear main seal look what I found out

 

[FirstToy]

oh yeah, I remember reading about that- sorry forgot. Man, great job, very impressive! You've got another 20 years on that truck!

 

[NaterGator]

Alright, make us all feel a little better and tell us how much your net cost has been so far

 

[Lugboot]

wow--that's awesome! hmmm . . . if the clear on my wheels doesn't work out, maybe I'll go black chrome powdercoat . . .

 

[94landcruiser]

You might want to PM him about this....

Though another way would be to collect the parts that you need, list them out and call Dan regarding the prices of each. Then you'd have a rough estimate (not counting fluids, replacing hoses, high quality hose clamps, and misc. cleaning supplies, along with machine shop costs....).

I'd guesstimate: $4000

The only thing that doesn't look you just drove it off the showroom floor is your power steering reservoir!

I am in awe!
