Not too much got in on here. Been daily driver and lovin’ it. Just a new heater core. Old one started leaking. Piece of cake to change with these old rigs. Used Siless closed cell foam all around it to keep is nice and snug.

You can get a fork attachment for the skid steer to lift Cruiser tires for suspension flex

Fireplace mantle is exactly what we are thinking if we can make it happen. Agree these oaks need their space. We are looking for good 3 point wood chipper to chip all the small 3-4” trees that are starving others in the woods. I have skid...

That's a shame, I hate losing the old ones. Looks like a red oak and rot right up the middle. I was going to suggest a fireplace mantle, but with that rot in the middle and the punky ( dead ) wood around the outside, you might have to think of...

We had 3 beautiful trees in front yard of our future home. This summer one died pretty quickly. It was an oldie and well outside of my abilities to cut down. In weird way I spent last week sitting under it watching dogs and reading. No telling...

Actually no, since my”friend” has zero mechanical skills, i wouldnt sell it unless it got checked out at Valley Hybrids, he said ok and agreed to pay for any repairs. When it came back she came and drove it with her dad. i went to DMV to remove...

It is an interesting diagnosis, but one that is not confirmed yet. I am going to try a different rad and see what happens. As most know, FJ55 rads are not just sitting on the shelf easy to find and easy to pay for. My current rad has...

That's some low hanging fruit my friend but I'm going to be nice today. 😂

Yeah but can we get the picture of the front tire lifted up with a forklift to see if it's the flexiest FJ55 ever?

3/4” clearance Beveled ends Surface rust removed

Oh I almost forgot,,,, and lets get all engineering geek cause i know you like that. Since your mounting to a linear plane, the more mounting points you have the less deflection you will get. I have 4 points in a 5.5ft length. With two points...

Hey ol’ pal! So you’re saying that you have a fairly tight clearance on your bolt-on sliders? This must be on your Tacoma? Well, it’s already been pulled off and cut back apart. My plan is to just double the gap to 3/4”. If they move that much...

Hey buddy ol' pal Here's some real info for ya, take it however ya want. My sliders are bolted on same as yours will be, this pic is the only damage in 20 some odd years of wheeling this particular rig You know how I wheel and where I go, and I...

You'll need more than 3/8 clearance. Even if you don't use them as sliders, they are jacking and lifting points too, so leave more room for flex.

Rusty has moved on,,resides a hour away with a half brother named Stout. new owner happy, my wife happy, down to 2 Steve(Larrdass) and Ornch. expect Ornch in 2-3weeks

Solid, Jackson! 👍

Ya Retarded be tough one unless you talking bout ignitchion, Jibba 4 da Hibba just works 😵‍💫💨🐖💨😘🤣🤣🤣🤣

Me 👀s da Voodoo Ranger but da pipe is gone 😳😮😲. Good idea learning from a Sensi Tig Master 😘 Danielson 🧐🤔😏🤪😎🤣🤣🤣. No more Jibba 🤪🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jibba! I like that! Just off to the side, out of frame. ‘Gotta get me some jibba!’ I like that-gonna see if I can get that word some traction amongst general venacular! Am I using it right? Trying to bring back ‘retarded’ as well. Just...

It's da Glass 😉

YOUR COUSIN FROM BOSTON 😘. OCTOBERFEST 😎.

Oh thank God it was just my stupidity. Thanks Jim. Very much appreciated as always! You have pulled me out of many rabbit holes. Please don't go anywhere until I get this pig back together. First time I can recall having these parts...

There are a couple of SAE thread pitches that are really close to metric standards. 20–TPI works out to 1.27–mm pitch, theoretically. Since The JIS threads are measured over the external thread and the UNF measure at the midpoint of the root...

11mm through December 1978. 12mm January 1979-up.

Have been busy working on the fuel system. Throwing in a Bosch 044 and new pressure regulator. Updated to 3/8 fuel line. I've also taken up a side quest to start the barwork on the car, time is right. I've drawing a rough diagram of what's on...
