I'm glad it worked out for ya!

I would say that is pretty decent for a midwest truck. Mine is a touch worse with 235k. Totally agree with the above comments - I wouldn't consider it if they were selling for big money. Mine was like $3k and will probably never be a DD or a heavy hauler. I hosed mine down with fluid film in...

This Youtube video was VERY informative when I was thinking through mine.

It could be the O2's or the CAT's. Mine with 230k has had that code on for a very long time, the only issue I've seen is a slightly reduced fuel economy.

@sdb999 precisely, I need a master part to start. Albiet there can be some pretty heavy "arts and crafts" to make a master look right enough to make a mold. Well done, that is an incredible amount of work to put together. I have had thoughts of putting together a kit for the horizontal door...

Hey! I have another thread of some interior parts I'm trying to remake; but after a good amount of research, quite a bit of the parts I had my eye on were still available. Granted many of them are red, but an oem part is an oem part. I know that most of the shifter bezel parts are NLA, and they...

@sdb999 I am not injection molding these parts, these are resin poured in a silicone mold. That's, currently, how I'm doing it. That is still a very nice print job though! Do you have a stock window switch? Otherwise I just bought some SEM texture spray I need to try out with my printed parts...

I'm pretty sure that's how Toyota tells you your rig has been broke in.

Right now I'm starting with smaller parts, but I'd like to be able to do shift surrounds and some lager parts. I've got a few things modeled in CAD for extra switches to replace the panel for power window/clutch start cancel that I've printed, but need a little more tweaking before I want to...

Hey Guys and Gals, I've been interested in casting plastic parts for some time. There are a TON of 3D printed parts in the world today, but even the nice resin printers leave some tell-tale sign that it was printed. Not only that, but depending on how the part is printed, it can be extremely...

I think I have about $1500 into it thus far. I've had my eye on a lunchbox locker too. It is a mental battle to buy my first locker for a toy vs my 40, 4runner or Tunrda. So I'll see if I get stuck a bunch this spring/summer and decide. I'm lazy. I live on a hill side and have tools/gardens...

So I bought this neat little go cart last Fathers day at a local auction house. It's a Jacobsen SV3422. It has a 30hp Ferd engine, 4 speed trans with high/low range, 2800lb hydraulic lift bed and remote hydraulic connections. As my in-laws would say, it's shop ready. I bought it as a non-running...
