Piece of crap Toyota front DS ujoint only lasted 335xxx miles on Beastie. Pffft, they need to do better :rofl: Nothing catastrophic happened, just noticed the looseness while I was doing something else down there.

I was happy, got to visit and have a nice breakfast, made the trip to Albuquerque worth it. then Monday Virgil did some welding for me, great weekend

oh dang, that's good info!!!!

mine rubs lightly so I must've mounted mine as high as possible. I need to be more cognizant of when I open/close the hatch to minimize this rubbing. friend of mine took these night time shots with his Galaxy phone four years ago. I hang...

I posted this in another forum but it belongs here as well: copy/paste Last weekend was the first test of rain water not pooling with the noodles. It rained all night off and on, even hailed at one point. In the middle of the night I was able...

I got a bad case of awning envy when on the Rubicon this year. Some guys in our group had Bush Company awnings and made my ezi-awn look like a tarp. I came home and scoured the internet. Turns out there was a very gently used one in Seattle for...

I ended up with this one and been happy with it. This is a good entry level pack with a bladder. I don't have massive hips so I'm learning the best way to use this thing. As the water depletes, the pack starts sliding downhill!! It's only...

I've tried to find the right headunit for an 80 series for 3 years now. I am really hoping the search is over with this new product from Pioneer...

Interesting, good to know. A local feller has two rigs with this engine so let me ask him if he's using the 80 canister. I wonder if the older 100 series with the same engine has this pump?

We have two fuse panels, and they aren't known to failure points unless a leaky windshield gasket allowed to trickle down to the inside fuse box. Your carpet would have been wet if that's the case. I'm assuming you disconnected both rear light...

I have an IAT post turbo in the end of the intake plenum opposite the throttle body. I drilled and tapped the manifold. I also have methanol injection and it really drops the IAT when the methanol pump kicks on. As the boost builds IAT will hit...

Ok, likely final post in this thread (maybe). The new engine is in, runs great. I had to pull the injectors after the initial start up as I had pinched an O ring on the re-install and it leaked. I also had electrical issues with the headlights...

I second this, get a power bleeder using a hand pump (some uses compressed air) to build up pressure, and of course an adapter to attach the bleeder to your master cylinder reservoir. Both will make good use of this bleeder on other cars!!!

check the brake light bulb sockets wiring for frayed wires or something funky.

i ordered the locking collar as well, got the two qty package vs the four qty package. My solvefunction deal keeps backing out which causes the shaft to bang around a bit. This will solve it, once and for all. Thanks again for the link as I...

I came up with a repair for my leaking sunroof that I thought would be useful for the community. My sunroof seal had seen better days. It leaked during heavy rainfall and had a pretty bad wind noise on the highway. I looked into a replacement...

I'd get a GM evap canister, mount it under the 80 and save the room on the pass fender for other goodies. TYM4FUN did an excellent writeup on this with pics in his build thread. I'll create a new thread with pics on this process shortly. I...

If you have the 33mm front + 30mm rear whiteline sway bars and are wanting to replace the old bushings, here's the info you need. Their USA website doesn't list them but their AUST website does. I had to speak to one of the USA folks to create...

i like Lemitar chile over Hatch.

how was the turnout?

Last weekend was the first test of rain water not pooling with the noodles. It rained all night off and on, even hailed at one point. In the middle of the night I was able to open one of the doors of the RTT, and looked on top of the awning...

I'm curious if you fixed the problem by replacing the knock sensor or my moving the wire around, which might've temporarily improved the connection! Let's hope it's the former, not the latter! In my case, both knock sensor wires were brittle so...

Agreed. I bought two knock sensors for my daughter's 5VZ-FE from Amayama for a significant cost savings. I also ordered bunch of stuff or a head gasket job at the same time.

LOL, that's how I refill the ATF through the dipstick tubes and it works a treat!

I buy gear oil by the 5gal pail and use a standard pail/bucket lever pump to transfer oil into diffs and tcases. I swapped the hose with a longer one so that I can pump from the side of the vehicle on the ground vs laying under the vehicle...
