What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (32 Viewers)

[Fj80oregon]

Finally got my rough running issue handled after a complete rebuild. One of my injector connections to the new harness clips was not making a solid connection. Fixed that and now running like a sowing machine. After breaking in the new rebuilt motor she will be posted for sale.

Flow test your injectors! Only 2 out of 6 new were good!

Got some parts in for my LS swap. Radiator to keep it cool and a Long Range America 38 gallon tank to feed it.

I read the same comment when I installed the waterpump and fan clutch last summer...saw the same scratched off "Toyota" markers

Nicely done!

I'm getting it ready for the Oregon Trophy Challenge in May so it's in a lot of pieces at the moment. I'm actually having to replace the rad support at the same time - Lots of broken bolts from being a salt truck and I just couldn't get them all out.

I'll toss some pics up on the actual build thread, just been so busy lately I haven't had much time on MUD.

Another part that doesn’t meet Toyota requirements? When this one came across QA’s desk they noted that the plating wasn’t smooth and continuous as required by the Toyota part standard so they ground off the Toyota name and threw it in the Aisin pile.

Just offering another perspective to those who say the parts are exactly the same, just in a different box. I don’t have any idea what requirements Toyota specifies in their part standard. I always assume that the manufacturers parts are Toyota rejects.

The only real way to know if two parts are the same is if they have the same part number and are sourced from a reputable supplier (to avoid counterfeits). Anything beyond that is guesswork, unless you have the part drawings and manufacturing instructions.

And just so I'm not accused of being a Toyota snob, not all the parts I buy come in a Toyota box.

Out with my sons. This is just FS trails with some big spots thrown in. I usually don’t listen to them spotting and then I get to hang out with the driveshaft shop boys again. Needed new u-joints since I added lift anyway, that’s been long overdue.

It’s also time, after all these years.

 

[Rouleur]

No embellished tailpipes,thank you!

Well this sucks! Not a break in. It seemed to just pop as I stopped at a stop sign shortly after leaving work. Nobody else around. All those stickers and the memories they held...

Added some cardboard…

Let’s paint it black!

Commandeered some aluminum via dumpster dive.


To be continued....

Had to bend the sheet metal to give it a radius…

Realized I had to bend it after the fact, so the paint wasn’t fully dry… it got f’ed up.

Re-installation… I learned a new to me - but actually very old - rope trick…

Normally a two man install, managed to get it in by my lonesome.

Time to touch up the paint...
