Scanoe for camping/lake floating.

Past couple of weeks I've been hauling a 16' Dagger with the Lexus to south Alabama to float the Choctawhatchee and Pea rivers for turtle research.

I am running 37s, 488 gear on the third, 10% underdrive on high and lo range. that makes it close to 5.29 final gear, part time- 2WD/ I also have a 3rd gear lockup on my A440F Valve body upgrade, desmogged and running 12-13 degree timing advance...

I thought there was someone looking into a dashb repop.. @Norcal510 was that you?

I had a bunch of cluster lights illuminated. Also my clusters battery voltage was spiking. Just got done with the new alternator. No more dash lights. Wile I was in there put on new Toyota belts, a new o ring for the PS reservoir, the 3 large...

Curious of this too, I looked at the Nissan higher amp alternators and found stateside its easy to get 110-130 amp one that fit mid 00s 4cyl frontiers with the same mounting as the 150amp diesel aussie one that's been listed in links. Looks like...

Explored the John Muir Wilderness and Mount Whitney Trail this weekend,

Dropped in Liland 1469AA2R from rock auto. I had to loosen side bracket bolts to get it all to linenup, same as @mtnbiker4evr13 Easier to do side bracket bolts from underneath on pass side, no need to drill thru battery tray as others have...

Put it in this spring, have 4k miles on it with a steamy GSMTR trip with A/C going full blast and daily highway mountain passes without issue. I used the 1469AA2R, had to leave side brackets loose until it was sitting in the radiator mounts then...

I got the machinist at work to spin me up a couple alignment pucks . I just used a piece of dom and checked it with a dial indicator . It is close enough for my purposes , the housing is within 1/16” on the long side and it’s in the direction...

Appreciate the recommendation. Also going to try some Chemical Guys stain remover recommended by @cgeoca

White bottle Folex did magic to my horribly stained draped cloth headliner, highly recommend.

I've understood it to be a bolt in affair with the later ebrake cables (I have a FF axle to put in my 91) and 16"+ rims. On my 2nd gen 4runner crawler I run LP 8in elockers fr/rr and use Lowrangeoffroad Elocker Switch with diy wiring to run...

Well I guess it’s off to IHOP to whore myself out to the elderly, giving senior discount handy J’s behind the trash cans so I can buy one of these fine time pieces.

While I was the first person ToyotaMatt banned/blocked, it was because he was taking advantage of the general ignorance people have of how the Toyota system works. This was over ten years ago. I called him out on it. I got banned/blocked...

I'm still rocking an 08' era 43qt Edgestar. Gets tossed between vehicles and rattled all over the east coast.

Looking for a decent core FJ80 A440F (3FE) torque converter to send out for rebuild as I suspect the lockup seal in mine is borked. Also a swing out tire carrier rear bumper for said FJ80.

Went paddling on a lake 🏄‍♂️

Too hot to make real progress, but got the passenger door glass, back glass, and driver vent window installed. Can't find the driver window regulator so that's on hold for a bit. Not a ton of motivation to get the bed done right now but will...

Went yaking.

At the Chatooga River today

Little mountain air time and some filthy dogs.

I recall leaving GSMTR in 2006 and going out tellico plains side and inadvertently running 129 back to robbinsville to the dismay of a few bikes n roadsters 😂 80 + armor + 37s = not quick

Saw you on 28 by Fontana Village 😄 couple good 80s at the NOC too! Running the tail with double barrel boats up top is a bold move.
