So it’s time to convert A340F to R150F. Earlier this year I found a donor that was totaled, but still running and took for a test drive (back roads).
It doesn’t look bad, but miles and frame rot sealed its fate. I want that..
In the pseudo Hilux since my auto is dying and a new/decent auto would cost the same. But now I can have a compound 1st, and no torque converter!!
The past year has been a punch in the teeth, short version, I’ve been focused on work, a federal grant, and limited time-off, #firstworldproblems
Free-time was focused on the 4Rnr for travel and CO trails.
And after losing our fury family, we crumbled when one needed a home
Sum it up, I’m working weekends, free time goes to the Surf, and beastie with puppy-dog eyes...But in the next few weeks my time is going to free-up, and as you’ve heard before “I saved so much money today!” (#Ispentalot!)
Sadly, I still haven’t heard back from Marlin on the Tacobox. I realize they’re surrounded by fire, and crazy busy. Regardless, I still used plastic with many significant figures there for other things, the crawler can go in later I guess.
While I’ve got things apart, it’s a perfect time to address my exhaust leak, replace the exhaust, and get this thing road worthy again. So if you have any free advice, or time, when this gets underway in the next few weeks, please feel free to interject!!
I’ve removed a few things on the donor meanwhile
