Had a great time with the exception of the 2 1/2 hour delay in Effingham. Smooth sailing all the way home with some rain and snow.
 
Damn looks like much progress was made. Great friends are great to have.
 
You got that right on both counts Mark.
Much done, much to go, still plan to be ready by June.
 
The stuff you find inside your frame. The top pic is a giant mouse nest & the bottom is an inch & a half deep of rust scale & dirt. I wish i didnt have to open it up, i knew it would frighten me. But i didnt want to cover over rot with new metal.

When I took the front of the engine apart to do the timing chain, both guides were gone & the chain was eating the cover. Now I must pull the oil pan & get the guide pieces out of it.
Working on a fuel tank relocation of some sort to raise it up.
 
Hell yes Geoff, I'm down with that.
 
Cool I'll bring it to tech day.
 
Does anyone need or know someone who needs my old Super Swampers?
I'm going with a matched set of radials on my mini & need to be rid of the 36" bias plys & 35" radials I have. Not selling the wheels, just the tires.
Anyone need just 1 for a spare or a pair or all? Price will be right.
I would love to keep them in the family if possible.
Lemme know.
Also have those 235/75/15 on aluminium wheels that came off the donor rig.
Thanks.
 
Got almost all the engine work done. This week hope to have the frame repairs all made.
Seriously considering an exocage of sorts, design idea locked away in my mind, so I'll prolly have to redesign it 57 times before I actually do it.
When I searched exocages for Toyotas on Google, guess whose 4runner showed up in the images???? Someone we all know!
 
Well I damn sure ain't gonna wheel this thing, it'll be too sweet!
I'll go to all this trouble with all the badass wheelin parts then just drive it around town & look cool!

Yes, and when need be I can simply use initials.
