I've been deep in some trannies lately, call me Eddie Murphy
Big Wags all around, passed the QC department!
Been a while since I've welded any aluminum, let alone cast. If this thing fits in my A761E the way I think it does I might need to borrow a friend's machine as mine was acting weird...
This thing is gonna be good. A tall person would love this. I'm going to space them up probably an inch and a half, but this is gonna be good. I'm super gay about period correct stuff and this has me FULL Doogie Howser. Just gotta peel the feet off the driver seat and weld 'em on the other frame...
Anyone else get goose bumps when the tips touch?
FWIW you can totally stuff an a343 from an 80 series in an '08 GS350. That didn't amaze me. What did amaze me is getting 28.2mpg round trip from Leander to Houston and back with said a343 stuffed in the trunk for half the trip! As I hadn't eaten...
Ended up wiring the ARB harness to the factory 80 series switch. The 80 series switch works a little different than the 100 series switch with pin one being the 12v switched source on the latter, so I popped the connector apart and de-pinned it. I took pin one, from the 15a fuses source, and...
Which wheels, the steelies? I might be keen to sell those.
Finally got some room. Had an idiot friend buy an FZJ80 recently. We went and looked at a SUPER nice rig he found here, locally. But he's retarded and somehow ended up not listening to anything I said and showed up in the most...
Well, it got pushed outside last week to make room for more work activities and today I started robbing parts for customer trucks. We all know what that means.... End thread/
Sometimes I think about this thing. 2.5s are out; Carbon Shocks Technologies has got to be the biggest disappointment of the year for me. Leaking res out of the box, machined parts not uniform (appears to be a parts loading issue, which is REALLY sad) as well as it doesn't seem they own a debur...
@txtuffluck I'm always here unless I'm not! If you're in the area again feel free to reach out, always good to put a face to a name.
Welp, the spacer for the wheel bearing looked a lil' chingale'd so I'm about to go scoop one of those and should have this guy popped back together and stuffed...
Windows and the 100 trading places! Thought I was gonna get the wheel bearing knocked out and my press cylinder started leaking and doesn't have enough ass to pop the retainer and bearing together while pissing fluid 😭 Maybe I'll work on the Prius today. FML.
Right about here is where I started to feel dead. Windows is fading, too.
Stopped at a little place that google said was dog friendly and they were indeed. They assessed the shape we were in and greeted us with a cold beer and a bottle of water on the house. A big plate of fries came quickly...
I'm an overlander now! Purchased a sticker from the general store and affixed it next to the Mt. Whitney sticker. I had to Google that, it's in Cali! This ol' Tractor has seen some s***! It makes me smile knowing that I didn't let it's journey end there and I hope this thing ends up in a good...
What up Kam! Yeah man, we made it! Since the trip up from Texas wasn't enough suffrage for us, we jammed our way down 40 past our turn for Texarkana since I still had beer left with our sights set on OKC to visit a manufacturer I have building me some parts. Here's a shot on the way out to Food...
It's 2023, it identifies as a 100 Series... If you've made it this far, you know this was the first thing I did. 19 hours in a 3FE rig with no a/c I got non op and put 250 miles on, LMFAO! Come say hi and let's talk about poor life decisions over a wet snack!
Lol, my net service S U C K S at the shop. Guess the picture didn't load. Gonna find the connector that runs to the knock sensor, then I'll repin that with my own wiring and a new OEM connector since I have a bunch of new wiring supplies
Also thinking about using the Celsior intake tube...
Knock-knock? No, rodent. Ended up doing the 12mm test on the heater tees instead of 14mm test and they're still there. I'm gonna be honest and say I don't wanna pull this intake, purely because I won't feel right not doing a starter or all the injector o-rings while I'm there. I just don't wanna...
This is what failure no1 looks like. I didn't bother taking pics of failures 2 and 3.
Remember folks, I'm not a welder, I'm an idiot WITH a welder. No matter, she's glued like Abuela to her novellas. This pic is real time. And I'm 99% I stuffed the ARB short term meaning I'm gonna be swapping...
Wasn't factory rear a/c, and I'm literally looking at deleting the rear heater right now. I think I'm gonna do the 14mm test on the heater tees; smack em with a 14mm box end and if they burst, delete the rear heater since we're TX folks.
Man, I'm genuinely worried about making it, but we're...
When I said I wanted my exhaust tucked, I’m talking Lt Einhorn spec tucked. So I started with where I wanted to end.
Needs more tacking and grinding but the dogs and kid were bored and frankly so was I lol. 4” pipe through the body as a sleeve so I can run my 3” through it and put the side of...
@chamyota so sorry to hear that man, it never stops sucking.
Welp, the Boy smacked some s*** i explicitly said “Hey don’t smack that” about. Proceeded on turning right towards it and smacking it while I stood three feet away. The look on his face was about spot on to Navin R. Johnson’s when he...
