Yes, the noise is gone, I just hope no permanent damage was done. I just drove it again and to be sure I pulled the zerk a second time, another spurt of grease came out.. I drove it around the neighborhood a second time with the zerk off, goving over curbs and flexing things.. More grease came...

I notices the thunk recently which brought me to this thread. Today I greased the driveshaft. The front shaft expanded and grease came out between the slip joint. I then proceeded to the rear. After a few pumps I noticed the shaft move a little, then pumping more I expected to see grease come...

Dont put too much grease in the rear shaft zerk, I pumped a bunch in there expecting it to come out of the shaft but none came, it just forced the shaft to expand into the tc and rear diff. I drove it around the neighborhood and it had a really bad gear whine, I quickly took off that zerk and...

The 400w is fine for charging batteries etc for my electronic devices. If I wanted to run power tools or a hair dryer then no. The reason I chose this one is its a True Sine Wave inverter not a Modified sine wave.. The latter can damage sensitive electronics.

I always tell people that driving an 80, even with terrible gas mileage is cheap life insurance. A Prius would not have done well against a Tundra!

Installed a home made wind faring on the front of the Gamiviti rack, first I flipped it over and used the Yakima A1 towers after some mods. Ordered a sheet of ABS plastic online and cut to shape, attached with zipties.. It came out pretty good and dramatically cut the wind noise, I can...

Ashtray cigerette lighter outlets usb Modified a wallmart tripple outlet with usb and installed with the modified ashtray mounts.. best $8 upgrade yet! Took the thing apart, spray painted it black and used the angled braket mounts that I cut off the ashtray assy. Wired it to the existing...

Looks like you have your hands full! let me know when your done and I will bring mine over ;)

The wrap is on the outside, that is why you want the laminated type so dirt doesnt get in the little holes. Here is the link to my drawer system complete with plans. https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/209816-new-cargo-drawers-my-first-mod.html

I got the white as it reflects more heat, the black would attract the heat and not be as cool.. would look funny on a darker car though with the white.. The black would still reduce the heat but I bet the window itself would get really hot. The inside of the vinyl is actually black so when you...

Yep.. stuffs not cheap though, they charged me $7 a square ft, total came to about $60

I found the film at Fast Signs, it is a perforated vinyl laminated with another clear plastic. You can see right through it on the inside but very difficult to see into the back.. It block 90% of the light along with the factory tint. The fridge will run much cooler and more efficient using...

Window Wrap Installed some window wrap on the rear window to help keep the fridge cooler, sun was beating in and the exterior of fridge was about 110. Also detailed the interior, it had been over two years.. smells good again..

Can you give some details on the spacers and where you got them?

Got mine in the mail yesterday and installed it today along with some new hoses.. Went in super easy and just used zip ties on both clamps, be careful as if you pull too hard it will crush the plastic canister. No more tank pressure!
