Front spindle nut/star washer replacement kit. For some trucks and 80 series. Too bad not
available for 60/74’s but can’t have everything. This eliminates the star washer and is like the
locknut and ring on the full floaters.

Hmm. If it fits early 80s trucks, wouldn't it also fit cruiser fronts?

I was pretty sure that stuff was all the same but maybe I'm not remembering right.

Yes. Fits my 40. Been running these for years.

Similar to rear FF set up, just a little less robust than the Toyota stuff ie:smaller fasteners. Much more adjustment though. So far seems to get the job done no worries.

Won’t fit early Drum brake spindles IIRC.

Nice reminder to check my wheel bearings and I couldn’t remember what size the bolts were. M3 😝

Edit: 2.5 mm Allen key required.

It's just a concept, but Toyota plans to build 10 of them for safety, functionality, and durability testing.​

Toyota built its first Hilux Hydrogen Fuel Cell Prototype at its Burnaston vehicle plant in Derby, England. It is a joint project with consortium partners and was supported by UK government funding. The automaker intends to build 10 of them before the end of the year.

This Hilux's powertrain uses parts from the Toyota Mirai. The automaker estimates that it has a range of 365 miles between hydrogen refills. For comparison, the Australian-market Hilux with the turbodiesel 2.8-liter engine can go about 715 miles (1,150 kilometers) between fill-ups.

Images show that the hydrogen tanks fit between the frame rails roughly where the cabin fits. The other fuel cell components are under the hood, where the combustion engine usually is. The battery is at the rear.

Toyota started this project in early 2022 as a feasibility study. Design and development began on July 1, 2022. The company started building a prototype on June 5, 2023.



The automaker intends to put the 10 prototypes through testing to make sure the model lives up to the Hilux's rugged legacy. Toyota is prepping safety performance, functionality, and durability tests for them. The company wants to understand the opportunities and risks of a fuel-cell-powered pickup.
 
That's pretty funny. I think there's a trademark on that sign already...lol.
Oh look at you, pretending to have to wiki pornhub :flipoff2:

I know a guy who's a theatre technician, he has a t-shirt with "pan/ tilt" written in the pornhub font and logo. Apparently wears it at work all the time...
Quick little perv test to see who recognizes it :lol:

Ha. Found the shirt

Happy harvest celebrations!!


“The Mayflower passengers, only 44 survived. The man to step forward in Plymouth colony was William Bradford, he was elected governor for the next thirty years. Under Bradford's guidance, Plymouth suffered less hardship than their English compatriots in Virginia.

The Pilgrims had much for which to be thankful. After the harvest, Massasoit and about ninety other Indians joined the Pilgrims for the great English tradition of HARVEST FESTIVAL. The participants celebrated for several days, dining on venison, goose, duck, turkey, fish, and of course, cornbread, the result of a bountiful corn harvest. This tradition was repeated at harvest time in the following years.”

Beats our tradition.

Several years ago my great uncle went into congestive heart failure right after dinner.

Last year we had the turkey at the neighbors, and his sister had a stroke right at the dinner table.


And, Mel is currently at the ER with her dad who has apparently broken his shoulder quite severely. Not that there's any minor breaks when you're 82.


Starting to overtake xmas as my least favourite holiday. :bang:
