When are you going to start a build thread... this is awesome... you have such a nice rig.
From what I've seen those are big 40s.
We will see how well the baseball bat wrap holds up to the use, but looks much better now than the worn leather underneath.
I drove mine to get coffee, does that count?
Is that how you are supposed to do that? I thought you are supposed to do that with a hammer and a block of scrap wood on the living room floor of your "employer supplied housing unit" (also known as a single wide!).
That sure as hell is not Florida. Where are you?

Quite a weekend for the LC.
First I had to pick up this trailer I accidentally bought on govplanet. I didn't think they really sell for $90. They can. oops.
Then it was time for camping with the kids.
And I found product I really wanted and didn't know existed! I'm really disapointed that @NLXTACY oil change thread didn't include this! C'
mon!
Yes, that's an oil funnel that screws into your 1FZ-FE. No more spills, no more trying to shove a regular funnel down the tiny hole in the side of the oil filler hole. It also fits the 4.7 and 4.6 V8 Toyota engines. Maybe it would fit a 3FE?
It has a rubber seal on it so it doesn't leak. I love it.
For anyone that does their own oil changes on the 1FZ-FE, it's pretty cool.

Technically this has taken over two weekends so far.. not used to working stainless, and def don't have all of the correct tools to make this quickly.
2.5" 304 SS into stainless cats with home-built heat shields out of 20ga 304 sheet.. then over the xfer rear output into a very expensive 3.5" merge pipe.
The muffler I planned on is WAAAAAY louder than I wanted. But I'll put it all together and hack it out if I can't stand it.
I really wanted to keep this thing quiet.. but there's not much room under there, let alone for enough pipe diameter to accomodate the 400 horsepower.

Are those315/75/17? Look nice. My Fox shocks had a hole for a allen wrench on the end of the shaft. Does yours have that?
We're all at different life stages. At 40 and single I'm allowed to have more toys.
Lighting for the front and rear! LED's up front and HID's in the reverse. Very bright!
LOL. i am older than you and married, i dont know if i feel sad that i dont have a nice press or happy that can work on drive shafts in my living room drinking a beer and no one cares.
Honestly it was fun. Actually if you get them all cleaned up nicely it works very nicely to gently tap them together with a small hammer. The disassembly is actually a lot harder than assembling the nice clean parts.
I used to do it that way years ago before I had a press. And then moved on to the vise. Having the press though has payed for itself many times over. Bushings, u-joints, struts, bearings, whatever... if you got the space available for one get it.LOL. i am older than you and married, i dont know if i feel sad that i dont have a nice press or happy that can work on drive shafts in my living room drinking a beer and no one cares.

I've ruined two u-joint crosses by the needle bearings moving around due to hammering. Second one was even trying to be careful.
A press and fabricating a small bracket to push on the appropriate part of the joint (vs the center) fixed that.

Made a window screen for at least one side today. Might make one for the otherside we'll see. Used some 9 gauge galvanized utility wire and some window screen material. Fits perfectly in the outer window channel.
While your still wrking out the bugs (har) on those screens, you may want to consider finer mesh. That doesn't look like it will keep out no se ems when you visit the south.
