You know that if you’d mentioned you needed grease i could have helped you out lol. Still had the grease gun in the 40 from our Wyoming trip

It was a draw.

Get a new crank. Readily available from Toyota 13411-17012. 1 available at the Toyota Boston parts depot. Order today and you should have it in 3-4 days. New bolt, new keys, and a new pulley setup. Away you go spinning again.

They pulled me out of a big hole in 2019…they helped me & did not make a dime. I was rebuilding my 2f & trying to finish in time to drive to SAS. I could not find the pistons I needed & might have to miss my long awaited trip to SAS in...

Thanks. It seems to have worked itself out. Probably just adjusting to the altitude. Fingers crossed, he's left CO and is back up in Utah heading towards sea level (home).

Changed front/rear diff fluid, oil, and threw on some niched needed new OEM belts - wash and wax after.

You sure that's the right hole?

heater port on the top of the head...

You can fit a elk in a 60 had to cut her off at the knees though

Got my AC fixed also. Not really but did drag this out of the weeds and took about 3 minutes to get started back up after a year of living in the weeds. Now to figure out the no idle. Bought it last year for parts last registered 09 said it ran...

I still have a few of my grandfather’s snap on tools that I started using the summer of 76 when I started working for him when I was 14, including that 9/16” tubing wrench. The proto set was dad’s.

what they look like...

Could be. This is our Last Waltz. Bonneville will be the last race/run. Its been Amazing last 3 years. I am hanging up my suit after this one. There might be an Exhibition race later next year but that's it. Time to focus on other projects...

Poke a piece of wire through the hole, wiggle it around

Just finished sorting out my A/C system. It’s all back and functioning nice and cold.

Absolutely not. The winch needs to cool down between short burst pulls. The stock alternator can easily keep up during the cooling periods. I hooked up a regular hand held volt meter to the winch battery and mounted it in the cab so I could see...

I don’t remember if I ever did them. I know ToyotaMatt was wanting me to one of the triangle ones for him to sell but we could never get on the same page since he was just about impossible to do actual business with If you really need some PM me...

Nearing 15 years by now on the ones I used on my 80’s cushions. I did specifically suggest Ty-Raps though. Far better than regular zip ties. I’m sure regular ol zip ties will survive just fine in this situation too though. It’s a very low...

About 10 years ago I disassembled my front seats to wash the fabric in the washing machine and repair the seat bottom foam. When I was putting them back together I wondered why anyone bothers with the hog rings as I was able to get the job done...

We are just over a week from leaving for Bonneville. I will be honest converting the 45 from Desert to Salt has been a challenge. Today I should have the complete drive train finished. We still need to add secondary throttle spring and install...
