Mini, GX and another one on the way back? Is Hannah driving already?


The 3x 80 we are picking up tomorrow is staying in Knoxville at the in-laws til I can come back with the Ford. It has a bad motor so will need to be hauled home.
 
Doing wench things...

Going to use this as a base to build from since it clearly doesn't fit properly (purchased 8 years ago, didn't fit my 1990 then either)

Extra trimming for better lines and then build the top up to meet the body and fill the gap. that's my 4' level on it above, gap is about 1.5"-2" under the lights.

Need some plate and some fresh cut off discs and flap discs, then we make sparks.

Awesomeness!
 
Looking for some AC parts for a 1988 22re. I need the hoses from the fire wall to compressor and compressor to condenser. AND the most important item is the manifold/muffler that attaches to the top of the compressor. The 2 parts the hoses connect to.

I bought a parts truck that had a v6 and have learned that that is a different compressor and hoses. I was able to get all the interior pieces and wiring harnesses. pretty much plug and play.

Any leads would be much appreciated!

Also if any one needs parts from a 88v6 let me know, it had a blown HG and the guy had the heads reworked and has new timing belt/ waterpump kit, gasket kit. none of it has been installed on the truck. Cab in good shape, doors not to bad. Frame ok except the last 8inchs have been hacked up.
 
 
Added a sport hood and FN (f)X Pro wheels with BFG ATs to the 98 a while back...and a fresh coat of Anthracite paint

Guy’s a jackass but it makes him a lot of money.
 
I tried watching some of his stuff. He definitely has found his lane. An article I read yesterday called him "The most destructive person on the internet" And while I 100% agree that if you don't want to see it destroyed, buy it and do with what you will. He bought it, so he can do with it what he wants. But after a while it is kind of like listening to Dave Ramsey, after a while you know what is about to happen, so it is just a matter of how you get there. Hey check out this beautiful new truck I got, watch me destroy it in 3.2 seconds...

All that said, I have been following the hilux stuff and he is just showing what most of us already know. Toyota builds a damn tough truck and they will take the abuse. But since a 4 door diesel hilux of that vintage is one of my dream trucks, it hurts to watch.
