Funny, I need the exact same stuff....How much for the cap and wires? rotor too?
Its all there, dizzy cap, rotor, wires and some other bits and pieces. Cant remember prices but drop @beno a line and he will sort you out.
 
Technically it was Monday but we brought home our baby girl from the hospital in the cruiser. Huge respect for all those parents out there, one week in and its hard work!
Congrats! We did the same last Thursday. Definitely more honor in the ride home than the minivan.
 
Got a little more done on the drawers and did a test fit. I also finally removed the third row seat belts.

Now I'm about to order slides and in between Accuride 9301 Lock in/lock out slides and the Fulterer 5400 lock in/lock out slides. At $260 vs $175 a pair, does anyone have any experience with the Fulterer slides? They look to be nearly identical to the accurides and I'm wondering if the Accurides justify the price increase as I mainly see Accurides used in most builds

Reworked my swingout stop pin after a windy night wallowed out the hole in bumper and then later a close call with a rock removed the pin from the spindle shell all together. Managed to mangle the seal and lower bearing trying to remove it however :/

felt some grinding noise while driving - took wheel off and yep - front pads are gone and my front left rotor is all scoured up.......and of course I'm in Mammoth lakes where there is a monster storm coming in tonight........found some 80 series pads and now have to find somewhere flat with no ice to change my damn break pads - little annoyed with the lack of squealing warning - ebc brake pads.......

what is it with this place and my rig......

Ps pump blown

Parking lot brake job....all just a little inconvenient when compared to the guy who came over and told me a snow plow totaled his 80 a few weeks back.....

I didn't go anywhere, but I added my CDL switch which took me ~6hours to install! 15 minutes to buy the switch, 5.5 hours to find it in the garage because I put it in a safe place, and 15 minutes to install it.


Dooh!

Well, Castrol super clean and hot water pressure wash, because A) head gasket time and B) it was +9C today, and it's February, in Canada.

Little cleaner now.

Then proceeded to tackle a "simple" start. Pull the plugs. Yeah right. Notice what's missing on the left? Two of them - guess where they are. How the F%* do I get those out so I can get the plugs out??

-(Tried crazy glue, didn't work)
-Kelly clamps are not long enough.
-compressed air doesn't pop them out.
- cursing doesn't have any effect

Gave up. Pulled the hood off and then went back to welding the megacheap turbo manifold for the BJ70.
