Those skid plates look awesome man. How long did they take to install? They're not light, one of my boxes was like 67lbs and the other around 44lbs.Made a grinder caddy for cut off wheels and flap discs on trail.

Went to carnegie to play a little and got some hits on the @delta skid plate.

One doesn’t, but several seals over the years can.Never seen this before.

The trucks done 576000kms, but how the f*** does a seal wear out axle steel?
Cheers
I had no idea this was a thing. I thought my battery is bad so I replaced it. To be fair, it did need to be replaced so that wasnt a waste, but then I kept having intermittent dead battery issues which was super bizarre because in my experience batteries don't suddenly charge themselves. Then I learned about a fusible link and upon inspection, I can see how that's suboptimal

Amazing what a little heat and the right tools can do for ya!As @scottryana said, go for some heat if it won't destroy the paint/finish...the torch you show should be fine, but you need to heat the part that the race sits in, not the race itself or it'll just expand and get tighter. Also, use a proper brass drift or steel punch and a bigger hammer...most likely your screwdriver is absorbing too much of your hammer stroke power in the handle.
Yea she’s going to be in the rocks family crawlerLooks like you're kinda hard on equipment like I am Reason I was thinking of going taller is to try and protect the light a little bit. They're getting pricier and harder to find!!!
Great! Thanks for the feedback man!I think just a couple of hours to install it went in well. The carriage bolts make it easier.
I just did the same - been having some really weird battery drain stuff going on and seeing this prompted me to finally get to mine - kinda of a pain to swap out if I’m honest with the rats nest of wires I got going on…I had no idea this was a thing.

So how would the fusible link in this condition cause battery drain? Did it fix the symptoms for both of you after replacing it?I just did the same - been having some really weird battery drain stuff going on and seeing this prompted me to finally get to mine - kinda of a pain to swap out if I’m honest with the rats nest of wires I got going on…

Will report back - been chasing a gremlin and given all the stories of fusible links and the problems they can throw up i thought this was low hanging fruit - already checked for battery drain pulling fuses - seems okay…..So how would the fusible link in this condition cause battery drain?

Did a few things this weekend. First off, redid my exhaust manifold gasket for the third time. This time using two gaskets, new hardware, and factory torque specs. Cleaned the s*** out of all mating surfaces. There is still an exhaust leak some where
At this point I don't think its the manifold gasket. Must ether be a cracked header, one or both of the header to down pipe gaskets/flanges, or the welding on the down pipes I made cracked or is faulty in some other way. Or its not an exhaust leak at all....?
The sound goes away at about 2k RPM. Is this just what 3FEs always sound like? Are my valves really badly adjusted? Any thoughts?
Sound at idle from engine bay

What ever it is, its driving me absolutely nucking futs! Making me consider an LS swap already.
Also took out one of the previous owners alarm system/remote start that was constantly locking me out of the car after turning the engine on, and I don't have a key fob for it. I don't even think the guy I bought the truck from knew it was installed because he didn't know why the car was locking him out all the time. Tested the sun roof drains, they work. Installed a BH3DPrinting cup holder. And lastly took out the cigarette lighter, and wired a dual USB plug in its place.
