What did you work on tonight? (3 Viewers)

I'm kind of curious what is up with your location: Patagonia, AZ. I thought you and the wife were retiring to northern NM. And what is the story with you and OLC4X4?

Easily definable with one letter: the Big D

Well poo. I'm assuming you don't mean Dallas either.

I do not.

Finally replaced my fat lip stock bumper with something better. It's a bull bar type thing from a 2005 Tacoma that I welded new mounts on. Now I just need a fat radiator skid plate below it!

@Dumpolina I think I used to see that thing in the parking lot when I was in high school. Where did you buy it?

Cool! It’s like a 4RunnerTruck! Looks like a soft top covering the back end? I am guessing about a 1993? 3.0 liter V6? Maybe a manual 5-speed? I had a black ‘93 for a while, without the custom body work. But most important - what does Scout think?!?

Probably, I doubt there’s another that looks like it
Got it in White Rock. He has another one that’s rhinolined green

I think it’s just a parts donor at the moment but I always wanted to cut a 4Runner like this for better snow wheeling… separate the muddy snowy gear from the passenger compartment. So it could turn into a snow buggy

1990 5speed 3.0. Scout’s not so sure yet!

Finished replacing the brake hoses on my 80. Gotta love a rust free SoCal truck! Lines broke loose with ease!

And this is up next!

Test fit went well! Slid right on to the frame horns. Next is figuring out what winch to install. That'll be a big purchase, probably twice what the bumper cost.

We dropped off the V8 4runner at my neighbor's transmission shop today for filter change and drain/swap on the automatic transmission fluid.

It was drained and filled by Chris at Toyomasters about 20,000 miles ago with no issues. Cross your fingers for me that it all goes well. This begins the maintenance overall I've been needing to do for this year.

P.S. - I'm still alive. Life was a bit of a 4Lo trail for a while.

Which winch are you considered? I gotta make a choice soon too. I read about Come-up but don’t know anyone with a long term history with one.

At what point do you admit that you have a 'problem'? Lol

I think Grant needs an intervention. He gets rid of the Gen3, and buys a Gen2. Dump, you are a sick man. At least you got a tailgate.

I can quit anytime… Really, I can!

The 3rd gen was like dating a woman with a kid… I did the test drive and decided it’s not for me.

That tailgate is a big part of it, so are the piles of spare 84-95 parts I’m hoarding that don’t work on a 3rd gen.

I got the 4th gen back from the shop today. ATF and filter changed. She's running really nice. No problems

The service was $150 in labor + fluid and filter.
