I did this to some parts in my college apt. I was to paranoid to ever cook in it again.

...diesel JDM cruisers never leave you stranded
....usually.
Spring is here.... finally.
Been super jealous of your guys weather over winter. We just had the coldest and wettest season on record.... it's been.... well something.
But we are coming out of it finally. 70 degrees the last two days.
My current view on an inspection.... clouds are back in but that's ok its still warm and I got an amazing lightening show from the top of my building last night.
This next picture isn't mine but shows how big the storm was last night
I really miss all the southern storms so this gave me some peace

4BT power potential. Absolutely nuts!!
For those inquiring minds, the video description says 550/800 at the wheels
Stefan said the Tercel wasn't far behind that!
that's pretty good..... there was a bronco I ran into at pismo beach that had right around that number also..... he was getting some major air in the dunes

BWAHAAHAA considering brand new the Tercel has 63 horsepower and I'm at 223000 miles I would now guess I'm somewhere around the 55hp mark.
LOL - and that's like 46 at the wheels! Love it!

So to add to my battery issues I was having last week....jumped off easily and ran fine. As long as I start it every day. So I thought I would see if the battery was toast and after 3 days of not starting it, it wouldn't start so I jumped it off again and started right up. The battery sticker says 12/12 and it is a Toyota battery with a 60 month warranty. Any idea if Toyota will cover it if I am not the original purchaser?
You can take drive to an Autozone type place, they have tester that will tell you if your battery is done. If not, you may have a vampire on your electric system. There are a few posts and videos on youtube on how to find the loss. I had the same problem and it was the winch killing the battery every few days.
Got this today, can't wait to start
It's a good one... sad that someone stole the cruiser 30 years after the trip
So these numbers may need someone here to adjust slightly, but couple things - taken from MUD members, online etc:
1. Make sure your battery is topped up with distilled water. Very important. Add distilled water to any cells in which the level of electrolyte isn't touching the bottom of the fill port. Use only distilled water. The minerals in tap water will eventually reduce a battery's capacity.
2. 2 person job unless you have a fancy multimeter: keeping the multi-meter on the posts, start your engine and look for the voltage under load - should be above 9.5v
Video using a fancy Fluke:
I had to do this with my neighbor yesterday - 7.7v reading under load *gulp* His battery terminals were so corroded - - never seen anything like them. I should have taken a picture. Instead of cleaning, filling with water and retesting he "had to go" so . . hopefully he made it home.
His truck was initially starting and then dying. 5.7L Tundra - - poor girl LOL.

Thanks. Upon your recommendation...I just checked the water level and a few of the cells were not covered so I added some distilled water. Cranked right up this morning so I am going to run it by Auto Zone in a bit and have them check it.
On another note, I backed down in a side part of our yard yesterday and got stuck....it is pretty steep and all the rain we have had....not sure what I was thinking. So I utilized the TJM recovery bag that a lot of us ordered. My wife was in Sparkly Car and I pulled it out with the 100.
I am only 1/3 through the book, and I want a 40 now! 42k miles driven around the worlds worst "roads", and only 1 breakdown for $70? It was 1965 money, still.... amazing story.
Yeah..... their jeep made it also but got no press since Toyota was their spondor... lol.
One of my favorite books. I have the new printing like yours and an original one that I got used on Amazon. I have no clue where either of them are now. I'm hopping they didn't fall victim to the good will rims of the wife last year. Doh
He's written a few other books also that are pretty good.

Its not all fun and games, sometimes you gotta work:
Ever have a day when you just know you're not gonna get anything done? I put in some new, cheap, gas station earbuds while working out this morning and I'm hearing all kinds of things I've either forgotten or never heard in music I've listened too all my life. Can't take them out!
Of course, I'm gonna call it "research".
EDIT: Oh crap! It's 1100am. I've been up since 430am. I'll have wasted an entire 8 hours by lunch!

We had a big weekend - reminds me of your's, John.
We took possession of 6 yards of soil on Friday at 5:30 PM. By 8:30 Saturday night we had placed it all over the property in the right places . . we had two wheelbarrows going - did a bunch of seeding, etc ugh.
Still need another prolly 4 yards for some raised beds for garden. Gotta do gravel and mulch next weekend.
Sunday we spent about 7 hours moving a VERY heavy bedroom set from Raleigh to our place.
All in all, was a great weekend for exercise, but a bad weekend for other "to-do" list stuff :\
