Test fit success

Grk is a brand of fasteners. Basically structural screws that are the modern equivalent of lag bolts, but way easier. https://www.grkfasteners.com/grk-products/structural-framing-screws/rss-rugged-structural-screw

Sounds legit - having no idea what grk means. I’ll check it out. Thanks!

I know there will never be an end to a 60 series project (wouldn’t have it any other way), but today the last piece of the conversion puzzle was completed. Had some AC hoses made up, but the compressor clutch would not engage. We tested the...

Unfortunately I am currently Toyotaless and will not be attending Logan's Run. If someone else volunteers to bring it up from Rock Hill/Charlotte. I'm in uptown three days a week for a tire handoff.

6x 3" grks per collar tie to the trusses, and a single 5" grk from the unistrut into the collar ties from the bottom.

I'll take the tire if you're coming up to logans run. Bit far of a drive from Durham.

Kind of wrenching? Unistrut hoist installed in the shed to store parts out of the elements in my shed loft. Should have done this years ago. It's like a mini gantry crane.

Yeah the intake is fine. No vacuum issues. All exhaust.

You check under the intake Plenum for a split right below the carb? That used to be a common culprit.

Loop E looks cool, but I hear D's nuts.

couple projects im finishing up... current state of the lexus lol.......

In due time, lol. I think some 40's would be nice to have in the future, but for now the 37's have been pretty nice. I definitely wouldn't be getting them before I drop the lift a bit. I like to be able to pull it into the garage for working on it.

Try UHMW for your search, McMaster Carr has a good selection.

It stands for ultra high molecular weight (plastic) , aka uhmw. Search for the right thing and you'll get results, lol

Time for some bigger tires!

On my list of things to do was to get a working fuel gauge. I swapped out the sender, and put an adapter to make the stock gauge work. While the tank was down I swapped out my fuel filler hose for something a little nicer that flowed better. Its...

Most of the summer has been spent with clients, lots of installs and too much travel. But hey gotta make money somehow. One trip was up to a client in NJ. They are opening this weekend so its been a mad dash for them to get everything in and...

Been a busy summer so its time for some updates, the truck has been a blast to drive. Still haven't maxed out the fuel but other things have been adjusted. I shortened the front driveshaft so I can use 4WD again. Unfortunately there aren't too...

This is turning out to be really cool. Should be entering the tuning phase this month and getting it on the road.

So it's been a minute, but I finally got the ole girl back on the road. Still a few things to work out, but I'll save that for another day. Here's a couple pics of it as it sits right now. I'm waiting for DHL to show up with the front bumper end...

Not much has happened with the Sami... I ended up moving this spring, which took a lot of my free time. This summer was chock full of different trips and kid stuff. However, I did end up buying an '83 Toyota Pickup from a buddy. I have decided...

And some more.
