Update, Had second thoughts on selling the Shady80 and took it off the market for a while. Fixed the transfer case issue. Then reality came back around and it's up for sale again :)
I would plug in to the local club first NC- Olde North State Cruisers - https://forum.ih8mud.com/forums/nc-olde-north-state-cruisers.54/ they will have the best intel for anyone local to your area. However, like mentioned above Trollhole and...
The thing with the headgasket work (And I'm not saying its legit, just what it is) when you get that far into things on a 30 year old vehicle, there will be many complicating factors that add to the time required. You will almost certainly break...
Id be wary of Redhead rebuilds on an 80 steering box. We got three in a row with the same leak. After shipping them back and forth for them to fix it, they finally just sent us a new box. They all leaked from the adjusting bolt on top. I even...
It wasn't "this weekend" it was today, but since I'm on leave til next week, its kind of "My Weekend" so just the same.
I finally pulled this damned thing off, so I can replace the cam chain, tensioners, and dampener, and start buttoning this...
We had a long weekend last and decent temps and I spent two days working on Good Times. Between the leaky wipers and seals, and a power steering fluid leak, the front axle was coated with a dense cake of fine sandy dirt and grease. I decided to...
Just a shout out for OTRAMM.
Had a work van that was burning oil and had no idea what was going on. Ryan suggested a BG product to flush and get the piston rings to seal better. I was skeptical of any mechanic in a can fix but after a quick 1...
Finished the tire carrier. I don't think it will fall off. It's nice and tight and rattle free.... for now. Not sure what I'm going to go with on the other side. Any suggestions??
Don't know if I'm going to paint it or just let it get some...
Now the question is....can I convince @OTRAMM to turn a wrench or two on it. :hmm: It does fall above the 1995 cut off, uses an OBDII diagnostic port and Toyota ECU. ;)
Incremental design changes are good. The WE tooling set works fine for the DIY hobbyist. But when you start pushing out and pushing in 18-36 bushings a week, it becomes obvious some of the dimensional issues of the original design.
I‘m...
I've been using an old Wits End set for years and dozens of bushings without a problem. They just get stuck sometimes due to the clearances. You just push the press tool back out. They're fully functional. It's not like you got sold a...
Swapped out the old starter in the 40 after the solenoid decided to go on vacation. Went gear reduction.
Amazingly better but if you are going to it from the old starter just go ahead and get a 6” longer battery cable because it has to go under...
