The elders used a device called a plumb line. It used a weight suspended by a string to establish a perfectly vertical line (“plumb”).

It was a foundational tool in construction and surveying for ensuring walls, posts and structures were straight up-and down. It is still used today in developing regions.

You can make one with a length of string and nearly any weight sufficient to stretch the string.

Advantages of this ancient technology include: high precision (often surpassing lasers), simplicity, and low cost.

And it will still work if you get bumped off the internet!

Rear window day.

They tried to install the new rubber without the steel backup strips and thought a little extra glue might help .
It didn't work!

Shop dog and I got everything cleaned up and put together properly.

I clamped the housing to a level surface, cleaned a section of the center section mounting surface and noted that angle.

I then came up with a way to repeatably confirm the angle that I currently have.

Go through four batteries before giving up and grabbing the corded grinder.
Don't forget your safety glasses, because as they say you can't hear boobies and no reason to take the chance.

I remember a method that involved using a pipe cutter for changing caster angle, but when I look at those pictures, I can’t see how that would work.

You can use to cut the tube before rotating the bell, you can also cut with an angle grinder. The bell is an insert welded at the end of axle tube, you want to cut free bit not through.

I remember a method that involved using a pipe cutter for changing caster angle,

I had seen pictures of that and they left the axle in the car when they did the cut and turn.

Door panel in the morning..

I need some parts I don't have so I shifted gears..

The tank had been slid around on the bottom and back before installation and scratched up the paint.. We've all done this but Don wants it to look nice so I'm going to touch it up!

Painted bumpers and some other miscellaneous silver parts..

I'll give them a day or two while I catch up on some other stuff and I should be able to wrap this project up soonish.

FJ55 Toyota Bumper Silver 007.....






Or as I like to call it "a mixture of stuff I had" that matched the color the other shop used with a lighter flake in the metallic..
