I want to swap over to Dobinson once my OME gives up! looks great!
I'll hook you up! I got Jimmy his along with several other's he's installed at his barn.
 
So Coop is hanging out for the 4th and over a beer he casually looks at my old springs from 15’ away and says “one of your leafs is broken”. Had no idea. But now I know why it made such a loud popping noise going down the road. We both think it happened on Corkscrew. Ironically he was riding shotgun with me

Yea.. racing those lame side by sides will do that.. 😂
 
@CenTXFJ60 Pretty sure I broke a lower spring plate trying to follow Tim as he was rally racing down Medano Pass. You guys …. Hahaha
 
Hell yeah!!! For those that witnessed me burn up my rear brakes coming down Stoney Pass last year…I know have the parking brake indicator. Robbed a lense off a domestic 60 cluster. Always thought it was weird this early 61 cluster had the indicator blacked out.

Is this to remind you to turn the parking brake off?? I need to hear this story over a fire at the Koa!
 
I noticed that you've also been driving without a seat belt warning light. As Gomer Pyle would say, "shame, shame, shame!"
 
A few things on my punch list for SAS9. Fluid changes to Amsoil and all new Toyota hardware for the brakes. I got lazy last year driving over the passes to SAS8 and boiled my brakes coasting downhill with a trailer. Since then I’ve had pedal pressure issues at high elevation. I’m sure a strong “power bleed” could resolve this, but committed to swapping out to OEM parts. The oil was compliments of a really good guy in Wimberly that has a 6 figure built HJ60 and he could not get it to start. Someone gave him my name so I stopped by and it ended up being a bad fuel primer pump. Just happened to have a spare new one in my glove box so he was good to go. He happens to own a large commercial contracting company and has a fleet of trucks. So he’s an Amsoil distributor and source’s his product direct to service his fleet. I would not take any payment for my time and then these box’s showed up at my door a week later :).
Those that know me well understand I do not spend much time researching things. Especially what oil is the best etc…but I’ve never heard anything bad about running this product so I figure I’ll give it a shot.

Good karma always pays off, Jimmy.
 
That's way cool. Well deserved.

Not many people have an H engine primer pump spare in their glove box. You may be the only one!

Ha…I actually had 2 NIB Bosch pumps in there. Dumb luck as I’m typically not a hoarder of parts :). I did not mention this in the previous post but the gentleman shipped two of those primer pumps to my house along with the oil.

Until the last post about planting axles for an abundant crop next year and the cruisers in the grain bin in the back 40, I thought you were a hoarder. It dawned on me that you are a farmer, a cultivator. Feeding the masses. Purpose! Carry on.
