Love that beer!!!! and those bumps are beefA few updates, shined it up for a proper cruiser wedding. @Sargy tied the knot and couldn't be happier for ya buddy. Think we had a total of 8 100's at the wedding and cruiser heads from all over the country.
Picked up a set of wheelers off road rear bump stops from @Leroythe02LX gave them a quick clean and paint before tossing them in the truck. Excited to give them a try. If your into IPAs the halfcab hazy ipa from BIG TRUCK brewery is pretty good
Cheers

Looking sharp Drew!SHOP UPDATE:
a few weeks ago I got the over hang painted finally. I really wanted to get it painted before winter but time got away from me like normal. @DC470 brought over is sprayer which made quick work of it but man that thing uses some paint! I think in total we used 8 gallons of paint and im sure 2 of them were just floating around in the air, still beats a roller any day though! Really nice to have the shop all one color again.
And been working on my man cave inside. Just making the shop a nicer place to be, since I spend a lot of time in there anyway. Reorganized move the tool boxes side by side. Hung up all of my signs and ads. And the pièce de résistance, a new 43" smart TV. So now all my projects can take twice as long lol

Chin up my man! You are nearly there and with all the shiny stuff on your truck, you should be set for a long time!well had a fairly frustrating weekend and didn't take a lot of photos but I'm in the home stretch. Started out on Friday when my parts order showed up at work minus the alternator. It ended up getting to my dealer on Saturday and I drove up to get it so I could keep moving forward.
Got everything buttoned back up and moved on to bleeding the cooling system, I have a vacuum bleed tool but still ended up with and air bubble in the system somehow. Spent the better part of Sunday morning working that out of the system.
Standing there checking over all my work i noticed i couldn't really feel the fan blowing a lot of air, engine running at temp 186* I was able to just reach in and stop the fan with my hand, virtually no resistanceThis is a new Aisin unit i purchased about 7 months ago ( i did notice on really hot days the fan didn't seem to be keeping up as well)
So i proceed to pull the shroud, fan and clutch back out of the truck. Figuring I must have received one of the underfilled ones from the bad batch that Aisin had. I used to be big into the RC hobby and still have some friends that are, I was able to track down some 15k cst silicone oil. I pulled the clutch apart heated it and drained the fluid (there was almost none in there, Aisin has to work on there QC department) replace with the heavier oil. reinstalled everything on the truck and fired to life, the fan roared for about 5 seconds then quieted down and was moving a ton of air (thought i had this fixed
). I let the truck get back to operating temp and gave it a few revs, the fan seems to be locked up all the time now roaring with every rev, even held rpms at a solid 2500 for about a min and the fan never stopped screaming.
So I accepted defeat for the day and went inside, ordered a factory fan clutch this morning ( yes i know its just a Aisin in a Toyota box) that should be hear tomorrow. get that put in, tape measure alignment (so i can drive it to the shop) and a few misc. things ill be ready for this trip.

its all good, i deal with this stuff all the time as well just frustrating at times. ill get it handled. It was good talking with ya yesterdayChin up my man! You are nearly there and with all the shiny stuff on your truck, you should be set for a long time!
As for the QC control, AISIN is not alone. Sadly, I have experienced sub-quality parts from Toyota too. My Toyota branded fuel pump soiled the sheets at precisely 24 months and it was bought from the localblood-suckersdealership. My two rear AHC globes were fresh from Japan and also failed within 20k miles.
I choose to beleive that there was a dark period in automotive quality parts due to pandemic but deep down I know I am lying to myself![]()
i know right id be second guessing myself every step of the wayYou've got a nice job in the works. If I didn't have a few setbacks, I would think something is terribly wrong. Thank you for sharing. These are some great tips.
ya its operating as intended, truck is running down the highway at 191-193Good job man! How's the new fan clutch? Looks up when engine is at temp?
Oh yeah, good'ol State of Maryland historic plates. I'm currently rocking them on my '99 LX.
Lost track of how many sets of historic plates I've ran over the last 35 years.
