Builds The Green Bastard

[roflbox]

Got the steering knuckle back together, however, seems I might need to bleed the front left brake, it pulls quite hard to the right when the brakes are applied at 10 down to 0 MPH.

Also re-installed the airbag, and the airbag light is still on, so going to fiddle with the connector tomorrow (battery was disconnected now)
Looks like I will have to follow this:

Airbag Reset Proceedure

forum.ih8mud.com

hrm, tried out the reset procedure, no dice, even with a wire straight to the negative terminal of the battery, I tried both slow an fast counting of 1 second

Fixed the airbag light, on the last step, instead of waiting 5 seconds, I arbitrarily did 20, and that solved it.

Nice! Feels good solving issues. Time to have yourself a scotch.

looks like it is time to start diving into the ABS system

When I just rebuilt that knuckle, I used a fancy new oring from Wits End, but the sensor does not seem to want to seat properly.

I will be trying to get that to behave / install all of the way, and then trying to figure out if the area of the harness I singed on one side is actually causing other issues

fixed the passenger seat gears after the 3rd try

good thing that kit from Gamiviti comes with an extra set of gears

also seems the starter now wants to act up, I seem to be getting no starts on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd turn, which is when I usually let the key sit in the on position, and then it starts after ~15 seconds

If it isn't one thing, it's another. How old is it?

from what I can tell, original? so 25 years old

installed a new gauge cluster cover, along with the surround that goes with it.
tried to get the starter bolts off, but this might be out of the league of the Makita midsize impact, first fastener so far on the LC that has bested this impact:

I cannot seem to find a good way to get a breaker bar in there

might go and purchase the big boy impact tomorrow

Wobblies and extensions?

Wobblies and extensions?

I tired a u joint, and it was just getting warm, will try and run down a wobble adapter tomorrow

super glad I just went and got a reman unit, instead of trying to refurb this starter.
starter was full of grit, the external bearing near the gear wheel had become spontaneously air cooled
when I pulled the "top" of the starter off, I could not even spin the gears by hand they were so full of crap

Oh, and very importantly:
