The Uglies: So I have some things on my plate...
1) I have a hairline crack in my intake manifold... Pondering this and doing the "maybe" its not that big a deal back and fourth in my head especially seeing my vac gauge reading of 22-25.
2) I have some excessive leakage around my transfer case and rear main seal. I read last night often IF its from the RMS you "will see a radial pattern of leaking on the back of the flywheel."
3) I also am fairly sure my front output seal is leaking and does not even have a tight fit to the flange (literally just noticed its not even flush all the way around, especially from looking down from above).
4) Exhaust... I did a power wash not too long ago and man is water cooking off hot metal a great way to see where you have corroded pin holes. Everywhere its excessively rusty I had steam! Basically the entire length of my pipe from the lower point of the J to the muffler (I have no cat).
5) Pull my drums and replace the shoes, the surface rust that I can see is nasty, clean up my e brake mechanism; it works but not as good as I'd like... I def don't trust my toes near the tires if I'm on a hill.
6) Order OEM brake pads (my friend who was a Toyota mechanic years ago told me to always order them straight from the dealer).
To Do: I have some parts/kits on hand.
A) Leaf spring bushings (Have set ready. Front appear replaced at one time more recently than the rear).
B) Knuckle Rebuild kit on hand Terrian Tamer from Valley Hybirds.

C) New Rotors (ready to swap), basic Autozone.
D) New soft brake lines, have on hand.

K) Swap new used oil pan I bought years ago from CruiserParts NH, need to straighten out the edges (mushroomed), wire brush the mating surface and paint. ( I have two cork gaskets on hand).
L) And a friend and I are swapping tires, he's hooking me up with his 31's and he's getting my 35's hopefully next weekend if weather is decent and my neighbor is around to help as he has all the equipment to swap them on the rims. I have a set of steelies in my garage all ready to go.
