Oh yea - I had a 1994 viper alarm on mine which I ripped out in 2020 when I was home during covid. That really helped lower the amount of battery drain.
anyone want a vintage viper alarm? protected by viper stand back
Not sure it will help. Most of these cruisers have been sitting for some time. I am sure a bunch of relays are secretly stuck open and causing parasite drains.
I have a 2018 Yellow Optima battery that I keep on a walmart $22 battery tender in...
Disagree.
A built Cruiser is likely to have been taken care of. Knuckle job, good brakes, engine leaks gone and much more. Not to mention all the money you can save on buying upgrades if they are already on a Cruiser. Seat will probably be...
Not seeing the engine bay, how crusty those rubber hoses are or the condition of the interior, I’d go with 17k-19k.
Some folks won’t go for that snorkel. Either you have the buyer who will just Sunday cruise with it or will go full on B-A...
Yeah, I'd imagine around the same number. Clean, low miles and a SC (assuming everything works) would be ~30k.
I'd also agree that an internal cage and the funky step sliders will hurt resale.
I would say $30k and up depending on condition , the SC seems to be a love hate thing, just saw the cage thing .. that will hurt value unless it is an awesome job
So far I see 3 dudes who want to buy your rig - OK maybe only 2 given @mudgudgeon is probably beyond the fedex flat rate shipping. Sounds to me your rig is some element of therapy for the OCD condition that lies beneath the surface. If you sell...
Rip the BandAid off, and sell as is.
Don't keep torturing yourself on things the next owner may not even care about or notice.
I can relate with the love/hate relationship with these, and I'm not one to obsess over cosmetic stuff.
My son...
Some say it's just for certain parts, but then why would they ask for part numbers?? They (Toyota) know the part numbers for brake components and other safety related items.
The way I look at it, it can't hurt to ask for anything/everything...
heck yeah, great thanks! I'lll check it out.
Also seems upon closer inspection that a PO welded 1 sensor in cause the bung studs broke ? OMFG More fun!
If it was mine, I would pull it and do EVERYTHING because you cannot be sure how much metal particles migrated through the oiling system and decided to carve grooves in the bearings.
Slee would be just fine, 60 mins south.
Just narrowing it down to closer but reputable.
I'm probably going to have the head done, and cross my fingers with taking rod n piston 2 and matching with bearing and rings from #1. Rings wore to that...
You'll need to pull the engine to have a cylinder hone done. Because of that the crankshaft will need to be pulled. Assuming all cylinders are in spec. They all should be honed. Pistons fitted with new rings.
Depending on your budget and future...
You can replace one piston they will be the same size as long as either motor has never been rebuilt. The question is how are you going to hone the block for the new rings. Also you can’t buy just one ring you have to buy a set and OEM ones are a...
@Malleus right, and who knows when the HG sealant was used on the poor lawn trimmer.
Also, just for everyone's knowledge, I do not have any overheating issues today. The LX is running great. It's almost a shame to think I'm about to tear into...
As the belt-and-suspenders guy I am, I suggest you position the vehicle in the best location to be able to remove major engine components. Or, to be able to tow the carcass to a mechanic if you hit a snag that you can't handle. There is nothing...
IMO leave motor in. Pull head using a come-along from rafters or block and tackle. Same to lower back onto the block.
FSM has all the info you need to walk you thru it.
take the head to Engine Part Machine in South Gate. They do all...
