Adaptive One is the Brand name. I asked the same thing, lol... "How are they adaptive, Derek?"Adaptive rotors? What do they do?
They're a Napa premium, they're coated and grooved and stuff.

Yeah, I started out thinking a metal strap to mount the piano hinge to, but then just got carried away. I had thoughts of recessing magnets that might hold it shut on the beveled top, but as I kept building out the frame I figured all bits might as well Mount into a steel structure rather than anything just going into plastic.The frame you built around the backside bump out is just to reinforce it?
Nice job, clean install.
So... the 3K mile summer road trip (and > $1K in gas ) surely helped foster the failure so here we go again.Then with more wire brushing and brake cleaner to prep the surface I set the Eastwood for 18Ga as a starting point and zapped a couple tacks to test settings

brushed the tack to see what I had, adjusted a little more heat and wire feed, a few more tacks then connected the dots.

So I zapped it up tack by tack, opposites and resting to not heat to too much.
(psst, some tater vision so as not to disappoint
same round of views. Top down, side looking inboard from wheel well, down below and sort of below looking up and out.

It's certainly not as rad as buddy's TIG would've been but I think this'll be temporary enough (especially with the new exhaust hanger isolator) to see me through header delivery. Temporary-permanent enough at least.... I'll keep an eye, or rather an ear on it. Its really hard [for me] to get a good look all the way around (I don't have mirrors), I suppose I could've done a better job of 50% or so overlapping tacks and I think there are a couple tiny seams of crack not covered (particularly inboard along the weld from the cylinder port to the manifold collector tube), but I think this should be okay for a while...
Went on the hour drive to the mountains for sledding today. aaaah quiet again!!!!
Thanks Dranged, you are making me feel better about my 60. . Just ribbing you. They all get leaks. Last couple weeks I had a intermittent high pressure fuel leak on to the exhaust header. It only leaked if I was in a hurry but perfectly fine when ever I'd check. The oil pan seal isn't a big deal and adds rust protection.Ugh, and now the radiator leak. . .

I thought I was looking at modern art!So... the 3K mile summer road trip (and > $1K in gas ) surely helped foster the failure so here we go again.
initial light tacks welds lasted like six months...
But Crack/leak has returned.

looks to have re-initiated from the top (where I can't get the nozzle to drop a decent bead

bottom looking up
View attachment 3074381
so... 3.5 hour project begun @ 09PM left some coverage, but the weak spot is still the top.
Reaching up in left poor beads, but, the bigger the glob, the better the job!
Here's hoping I can get the DTs on within 3-6 months. . . .

I like this design! When I was doing mine I did a lot of searching around & I don't think I saw anything like this!Finally built my snack table!

First and second deploymentI like this design! When I was doing mine I did a lot of searching around & I don't think I saw anything like this!
I still like my wider table (near full door width), but this tucks in nicely if a smaller table works for you!!!
Just a suggestion, check your engine mount. the one with rubber.Parts ordered. . . . (ouch)
+ $38 in duties
WHOA, shipping update! Ordered 8/6, in SLC 8/11!!

be aware that wiring also different. your signal and brake light wire have to be swapped. At least in my case it was that way. (OEM prado from Japan)Uncharacteristically, I'm scoping before just diving in.
I think I'm gunna need a couple more bits, The GX sockets don't fit in the the Prado tails and these were new aftermarket Prado tails don't have the bulb inserts.... I know they locations have different functions (also as evidenced by the different contact patterns on the housing) but now I need the sockets and the master harness for the top (park/brake) socket
K, back to moar researches...
