Trick for spam calls.

Most of the systems that make robo calls out have a voice recognition system that will only connect you to the automated menu or a person if it thinks it's connected to a live person. To defeat it, pick up the phone call and just listen, DO NOT say anything. If the call automatically disconnects in a few seconds, it was a spam caller business and you can block their number. If it stays connected and no one says anything, you can choose to do what you want, but 9 times out of 10 if it's someone calling you (aka a real person, spam or not), they'll eventually say something if you don't.

Source: I used to install and support those automated calling systems. Hated every minute of it.

The call started with the person chatting with someone else, like he was finishing up a real conversation, followed by a familiar pause indicating that he just realized I picked up followed by "is this James".... prerecorded? maybe. But certainly not a 'jane the talking computer' type situation.

Hell of a deal if all it really needs is a rear end rebuild and new brakes.

Looking for a set of cheap 15" wheels. Toyota bolt pattern (yes - I got an adapter for the trailer...) Only need 3 good ones. Anyone with a set of 4 that had one wheel ruined?

I have the tires already - but ya know I'll take freebies if they're on there.

Ive got a set of 16 inch 4runner sport wheels, but the tires are shot, so that doesnt really help you out. Also have a set of gx470 wheels with tires (17 inch streeties), but again, that wont help you much.

 

[jamesurq]

Yeah - got some BFG MT 31x10.5x15's in decent shape for $40 a piece. Need the three 15" wheels to match. Also 1.25" spacers, so I'm not sure where that leaves me with backspacing.... Not sure it matters though without brakes.

man offer 1300-1600 on that white truck in boone, bring a pair of 14mm wrenches a hazard switch, and a soldering iron, and drive that thing home (assuming the brakes arent totally hosed out back.)

I'll split it with you and even let you borrow my tow dolly to drag it home But yeah, I can't keep it here either.

I have one you can have , just to get it gone.

I advertised this a while back but I've finally got the new wheels on the way, so if anyone is interested I have 5 stock rims coming off the 80. Four of them have tires on them. I can have the tires pulled if you just want the rims. Nothing worth mentioning. Show up with a bottle of quality whiskey and it is yours. I'm not partial to Bourbon, Scotch, American, or Irish whiskey. I like them all so surprise me.

Damn, I would have gone and bought that, only if, I didn't have to get my steering rack replaced on the 100!

Pull it, probably. being able to stop it on the steep downhills...ummm. maybe once or twice

Stock is 16" right?

 

[Phares]

Yeah @jamesurq stock is 16". Otherwise I would have messaged you directly

That is what I thought. Let me see if I can figure something out. Donor car.

S.CarolinaFZJ80 -

Steering rack - what was happening to warrant a steering rack replacement?
