Funny, the last 2UZ timing belt I did was in an in-insulated garage where we burned through 40# of propane to stay warm . Not a bad job at all really.

I assume it is still cold there...sucks! We are entering the warmer wet weather and the pollening has started in GA.

Yeah it’s chilly here but not cold, yesterday was the warmest day we’re going to have for a while, 45 degrees.
Plus I have a small event the 17th at good evening ranch, so pushing a little to get it done now.

Ready to fire it up in the morning.

Like a kitten.

now a quick oil change.

Back from the first ride, so far so good.

Nice ride at good evening ranch, ended up having a rootball swing up and dent the fender. No biggie.

 

[landwagon]

Holy hidden mud, fender is off to try and straighten it out some.

it’s tight in there of course the dent is right in the crease.

Yikes....wonder what is in mine!

Pretty close one more little spot and I’m calling it good, until next time.

Not s’bad, there.
Did you install ACC’s Tie No Bo stronger tie rods? If so, any thoughts?

I have them on my truck and they work fine but you have to cut the tie rod boots just right to sit in the groove of them. I also had to tap the threads of the inners another 1/2" as they wouldn't screw in far enough to align. That was pretty easy but I needed an M15x1.5 die. So far so good

Other than just the thought that they are stronger, any perceptible difference?

 

[captainva]

Literally zero difference in handling or anything that I've noticed. They just strengthen the tie rods so you break your rack instead

Added a half inch of lift to the front suspension, sitting pretty good, should have done it along time ago.

Ready for the Kentucky Toyota trail ride.
