6’5” 250# Finding vehicles that fit me well can be a serious challenge.
6'5", 215. Sheel Manns, no back seats. Couldn't be happier.
Corbeaus in the truggy are a little tighter, but still comfortable enough for enduro races.
It’s been great so far. Excellent fuel mileage, torque and easy to work on. If you can get over the vibrations then it’s an awesome little engine. It is absolutely loud and not everyone’s cup of tea. I have put about 3k miles on it since I purchased the vehicle and about 40k since the swap.
I have averaged 18mpg overall and about 23mpg highway. (I live at 5,600ft and drive above 10,000ft often)
6’4” 200# I put Corbeau in mine and I am about maxed out with legroom with the seat all the way back.. didn’t want to move the seat bracket further back because I have 2 growing boys that ride with.

Sorry for the delayed response, but yeah, as the attached (and yall have discussed) thread shows, seal, bearing, and then the obvious, cap, rotor, O-ring, etc.I rebuilt my distributor - included my info starting on post #13 in this thread:

After some help from the good folks on the forum, thought I would attempt a replacement of the internal seal and bearing Symptoms: Oil covered Alternator from the top LHS side of engine Oil dripping from the alternator housing Step 1.

My trucks got 240z buckets. So there's a lot of room
Little late to post, we had our first real snow in Aspen a little over a week ago. Decided to drive up the back side of AJAX and see how much snow is at the top. It was absolutely beautiful and there was probably about a foot of snow at the top. Got to break out the winch and pull a tree out of the way as well. Need to add a saw to the arsenal.
K02s are lame but damn they are very impressive in deep snow.
Off topic question, for the life of me I can’t find the part # for this connector I broke a while back. Going through the fall maintenance list and would like to replace it. Anyone happen to know the part number? It’s the white connector with one wire coming out of the base right below the power steering pump.
Thanks in advanced!

I printed some front speaker spacers for my new speakers and I went to the parts hoard for a new charcoal canister. I’ve had this since 2009 or 2010 to fix a boiling gas issue, but the original passed all the tests so on the shelf it went. The original finally gave up the ghost.

Put new timing chain over on and front main seal on new short block. Started tearing down a 94. @baldilocks this is hands down the cleanest cams I have seen yet! Good work on maintenance!!
I decided to work on the fairing again since it’s been sitting in a corner since may 2022. I think it’s done. Just need to wire the light bar.
I have had the rainbow steps mounted into the slider receiver for a while so my kid can climb in. I just added the speaker spacer/handle to assist getting in. I don’t think I need the rope anymore.
And it’s been getting cold at night here so I developed a coolant drip from the lower radiator hose thanks to worm clamps. I drained everything, installed a new water pump, new fan, belts, block drain valve, and Toyota spring clamps. Should fix the drip and the belt squeals I had seem to be cured. The water pump needed to retire.

Delo 400 cleans them up. It only has 312k miles so it should be a good candidate for rebuild.
Hadn't done a thing on my truck all summer until this weekend. Did an oil change, so figured I should clean up the level sensor & connector since I had the gasket laying around. We'll see if it fixes the incorrectly intermittent oil light that started happening a few months ago. Front brake pads and hoses later.
Most of this weekend is replacing my dad's tundra front suspension, and girlfriend's 4runner axles.
