This happens the last Saturday of every month during the warmer months. I even took my 100 last month. I felt a little out of place but it's not a car show, just cars and coffee. All vehicles/makes/models are welcome. You see some neat stuff...
Nothing like a roadside fix while getting home from the lake! Turned out that the 430,xxx mile old radiator cap died. Top radiator hose blew off due to high pressure buildup while making a huge mess everywhere. I took the Tstat out in case it...
It takes some finesse. When I was a knucklehead wrecker operator I did them with a flatbed wrecker with the bed dropped to the ground and winch line run through a snatch block or chain bridle on the end of the bed, increasing the angle of the...
Thanks for asking. Couldn’t ask for a better performance from a radiator on an old vehicle. Perfect fit and absolutely no performance issues. Going to Ouray again in August 2025. And in March 2025 we drove from California out to San Antonio...
The tape measure tells me it will be tight. Tasks for super-charged + turbo-charged:
Build a tray to keep the battery from moving.
Reroute all the hoses on top of the valve cover.
Duct work between the turbo and intercooler.
Duct work...
Turbo is together and spins as it should.
Will this fit in the engine compartment? Problems with battery location and supercharger pulleys? Air-to-water intercooler and hood interference problems? Cutting, smashing, mangling, and repairing the...
Various intake and exhaust manifolds and their parts. 22R, 22re, 22rte, 5vz, 2jz. If you need something send a message. There is also a solid front axle housing and third member. Delivery to next meeting preferred.
Cleaned the throttle body on my 4th Gen 4Runner. Easy enough. 195k and had probably never been cleaned.
Replaced and bled the steering fluid too, again 195k and never changed as far as I know. Unfortunately I used WS instead of ATF so I gotta...
First time for me being first on the scene. Near Carson on our way to float the Rio. Sole occupant, on her phone. Uninjured. Engine stil running.
Classic scenario: drifted off the road and overcorrected. 37 inch tires on a three inch lift.
Be...
It was the end of the axle/brake area. I don't know what failed, as I was just focused on putting out the flames. Once I did, I got out of there real quick. The driver barely even acknowledged what was going on, and immediately started calling...
Wow. Glad everybody is safe. I would love to hear more about your experience using your extinguisher.
Interesting timing here. During my phase 4 build, I decided to invest in a high quality fire extinguisher. I ended up getting the 2.5 pound...
We tested out an old, green, two-burner, liquid fuel, camp stove yesterday. We've been using it for years on the tailgate of the camping vehicle. We lit one burner and everything seemed fine. Little did we know, there was a pin-hole leak in the...
I highly recommend it Ron, go for it. I camped right off of the medano pass trail and there are few sites. If you're going from north to south, you'll need to air down as you exit the trail then enter the park due to deep sand. The park has a...
