What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (50 Viewers)

[duece71]

Yes, this rig is OG. It's been sporting the INTI rack for years and I love it. I don't believe in roof tents so it's perfect for me.

Nice. I bought a short front section INTI rack from another mud member. It has the 4 light mounts and “chicken” wire mesh like yours does. Its needs to be refurbished bad. When the weather gets better, i am going to take it apart, use a wire wheel and sand paper and then get it powder coated.

Finally installed a small shop heater on the side I work on. I have a mini split on the other side of the shop and it works great just takes a while to heat 1200sqft. This one is 7500 watts and blows directly on my normal work area.

How does this thing work for your space? Thinking about getting one myself

Installed a hand me down Double din Dual head unit and $20 dual brand reverse camera. Mounted in the license plate light housing, wires ran through the tailgate. Real clean and I’m happy with the result. Also replaced the heater control valve, and installed the NEW center caps after my new tires were mounted and balanced.

It works great for the money, $200 for the heater and under $100 for #8 wire and a 40 amp breaker. It heats my 1200sqft to 60 degrees in 2 hours with 40 degree temps outside. Obviously this will vary with insulation and drafts. I’m happy with it. Should have done it 3 years ago.

Always wondered....what does that actually do?

It's tricks the sensor to not read the PO401 code relating to the EGR.

I would like to think it also stops recirculating unnecessary exhaust gas into the engine.

started my body work, I cannot afford a new back door so I picked up a stud welder from HF and I’m off to the races. I also sanded down the hood and primered it. It had a very lame double entendre towing company name on it. If you own a chihuahua you already know what I used to mask off the front of the cruiser

Did you make your tow hitch or buy it ?

I just bought this and that came with it. The guy I bought it from was a pretty skilled fab guy so it could have been made by him.

So much new, what’s up with the stamp on the back of the head? Toyota R DOT!

R DOT appears on factory replacement parts that would have originally had the VIN attached to them. Original heads had VIN plates on them.
You will see this on other replacement parts that were originally marked. Such as fenders, hoods and doors.

That would be great if that's what it actually did and not just kind of block the code so the check engine light doesn't come on.

Here is one of the threads.

EGR Temp Sensor Test Plug

Hi Everyone, I figured I would post up a small project I have been pulling together mainly to satisfy my curiosity about EGR bypass, testing, and making it look good. Many of us have experienced the P0401 code and normally it is an EGR related issue. As you will come to find out, especially...

@mudgudgeon you asked in another thread who was making these bumpers (front not rear).

It’s The Cruiser Company in Australia and for those stateside interested in these, Aiden at LRA is importing them.
