Every other Friday, I go and run Peter’s Mill. Others are always welcome to join me. I normally go in the morning.

I’m assuming no meeting tonight?

I second the notion of a cookout!

Slowly building the little 05 GTI into a rally cross car. Lifted it with 2 inch lift springs, and Bilstein HD shock (forget series number). Installed stud conversion kit, no more lug studs which makes for easier tire changes. Was working on installing the steel skid plate today, I HATE rivnuts!!!!!

With the pending sale of my FJ, I may no longer be allowed to attend since I will no longer own a Toyota 4X4.

Ok, we'll have to work out a time to meet. My schedule is wacky to say the least, especially working closing shift. I normally have days off during the week, sometimes the occasional Friday-Saturday or Sunday/Monday.

So good news, the new harness fixed it. Looking at the old harness, I can probably could have repaired it myself. Oh well, lesson learned. However there was one hiccup with the install, one of the metal tabs on the body that holds the brackets on the harness bent when I tried loosen the rusty...

Trust me I tried to tweak the schedule so I had the day off, my GM was not pleased.

Toyota’s motto for old trucks should be “Trust the rust” because I swear the FJC rear end is held together by the rust....

So I found the issue with the FJC. Tore a section of the rear abs/vsc harness while off-roading... I’d like to thank my neighbor for letting me use his lift. Bought the new harness, will install this weekend. Keep you posted if that fixes it.

Unfortunately, I’m going to have to miss this one, I’m the closing manager on duty that night.

Still broken... I'm debating buying a Techstream ($71 on Amazon) and diagnosing it myself. Toyota wanted $2000+ to fix it.

I go there to drool over the AMGs, he had an SLR McLaren out front one day when I was delivering him part back when I worked at Toyota.

I recommend Village Body and Paint in Warrenton. I don't know if they do rust, but I assume so since they do frame off restoration of old exotics, sports car, and classic trucks. I've seen his work first hand, and it's award winning quality, literally some of the vehicles and planes he's worked...

@hakalugi Your truck is a beast, love it!
