Attended the 9th annual Run Thru the Valley Toy Drive. Off road enthusiasts from all over central California come together to help out Children's Hospital.

The boys had a great time hauling wagon loads of toys into the hospital.

changed the oil for the first time today. I had asked my local Toyota dealer about an over sized filter and they said Toyota only makes the standard size.....When I pulled the old filter out the part number showed to be a Toyota part number 90915-TD004. The new filter, which is half the size, shows part number Toyota 90915-YZZD3........Hmmmm
 
What part of the Central Valley? My parents live in Visalia.
The toy drive is for Children's Hospital outside of Fresno. Participants came from Bakersfield to Sacramento, to meet in the middle, and donate.

Valley 4XS 4 Children organizes the event, and can be found on social media, if anyone would like to join.

Every year, funds are raised for a large donation of something the hospital can use, plus countless toys are added, for the children. My first year in attendance, the group donated over 130 Radio Flyer wagons. The wagons are used to transport a child around the hospital, rather than putting them in a wheelchair, and the child can take the wagon home when they're healthy again. This year we were able to donate 20+ folding mats to fill their need.

Moping a bit because I missed out on several rides this weekend, but got out this morning for a first stretch since picking it up and getting caught up on maintenance.

Got to use the winch too when I slipped into a deep hole on the passenger side and hung on the slider (pics never do justice).

I also quit my pity party for missing the rides since I am not facing what one of our local club members is facing. Here in the 80 section he had the 400hp build thread (Mud member aquatech3). Thought I would share the link to his GoFundMe if anyone is interested.

The lighting is a little misleading in the photo as it’s Detroit Diesel Alpine Green so a little darker that it looks. But I wanted something different, my truck is green. And I felt an industrial type color was fitting for an 80. If you check post #49477 on the previous page there is a better picture to see the color in some warmer light.


Love the color mate
 
Decided to try some new shoes the wheels are Battle born BootLeggers 17 x 9 3.5 BS with Kanati Mud Hug M/T 39 x12.50 17
The Tires were a real bear to get on the Wheels.

I went with the mud Hog M/T because its was the only tire taller then 37" and only 12.50 wide, think (pizza cutter) Takes for ever to get them torqued down right had to use my old school torque wrench because my Snap-on only go's down to 30lbs .
Took them for a spin 25 PSI no balance weight of any kind to my surprise they run true & smooth went up to 75 MPH and quitter then the Trxus that came off. My initial thought very impressed

so didn't do much to the old fj80 this weekend. I drove it a couple hours north of me for a doctors appointment. On the way back it thew a check engine code. since its running just fine I am guessing either I have an egr issue or a vacuum leak some place. I replaced a few vacuum lines and reset the computer by unhooking the battery. 3 days later its not showing the check engine light. I did change the air filter with a k&N one. found an interesting dirt and dust collection trap under the air box I never noticed before. It was full of dirt. poured that out too. Everybody else know that dirt trap was there? I sure did not.
 
I it a pink oven, that has an "Easy Bake" logo on it?

Originally its a backpackers oven with over 10 years of proven testing.
Try this with your Easy Bake :p
