I finally got moving forward on the PDI intercooler. I picked up the correct early valance from @Hamachi to suit the turbo grill. I had to clearance the lower valence edges quite a bit. The turn signals fit with just a tiny bit of overhang at the...
Just a heads up, the videos above with Georg from Valley Hybrids are amazing, though he does go through some unnecessary steps if you're just regearing. I was following his videos and was removing a bearing from the end of the idler assembly (I...
I did do this once (and was a bit nervous my first time). I met the seller at the bank that held the lien, which happened to be a local bank that he had gotten the loan through. I basically handed the money to the bank rep who “paid off” the lien...
Be aware that the process for dropping the headliner on a pre-95 is a lenghty process and you essentially have to remove everything on the inside beltline up. Some people find a 95+ setup and convert to make it easier later on.
There is another...
I have a 2013 second gen Tacoma trd off-road that I've spent too much money on over the years and built it to a great little all around truck. Couldn't shake the dream of owning an 80's series Land Cruiser the more i learned about them. Ended up...
Oh ya, we chemically stripped these body panels too, only parts not touched yet are doors.
Sill working on these plus need to do doors but we are going to bare metal on everything and ya it’s a friggin’ ton of work! 😐🤌
Cheers
Held vacuum overnight - ran for another hour or so to get out more moisture, then put two 12oz cans of R134a in this morning. AC is blowing cold, can't get vent temps because "we" broke the other thermometer, but if I had to guess it's in the 40s...
LFG!!!!
Still low O2 at high RPM, hmm.
Pretest showed CO slow to drop into range but we got that figured out. Did not run E85 - was just whatever was in the tank. Also set timing at the usual 7* BTDC.
Big thanks to @65swb45 Mark at Mark's...
Oh boy. Went and did a thing.
Son went with me to just "check out" this sweet 1983 FJ60 that has been sitting for.. a while. Last registered in 2000, been on non-op since. But, as far as I can tell, it's also about the most rust free and no...
I've always tried to use Toyota or Denso whenever possible. However, when it comes to rotors there are better options. On more than one occasion I've had brand new OEM rotors come to me out of spec. One set was so bad I had to turn them so they'd...
I recently added a small fan up front. Every other vehicle I ever had with air conditioning had a small Pusher on the front of the condenser. I figured it couldn't hurt? One tricky part was finding a 24 volt fan. The other was finding one small...
