So I bought the steering axle / knuckle rebuild kit from Cruiser Corps. This includes the knuckle bearings, but apparently not the wheel bearings. I'm having trouble finding those by themselves. Is that because they are not likely to need replacing and I should just clean and reuse my originals?

Well, different theory there. yes, Toyota way overbuilt these axles and bearings. They could last forever. Or they could fail the next time you are out. Cruiser outfitters or Marlin is where I buy all my stuff. Have you tried them?

I can bring a CO2 tank if you want to just run that.

That would work. I would like to get another mid size bottle so if anyone has one for sale, I am interested. I want to have this set up for thin sheet metal or maybe for stainless wire.
 
anyone have a good source for O2 weld in bung? I need it to be same thread as stock, don't know what that is..... assume metric, but don't know.
 
I have like 8 tubes of Moly grease still left, btw, Charles if needed. I know someone on here needed it before, but we never got that transaction done.
 
you need the o2 bung that is threaded or has 2 studs.. threaded is a spark plug non-fouler.. i'll dig up part #.. 2 of them are CHEAP.. Used one on matrix to fool computer into thinking the cat works GREAT... I probably have one more in the garage.. if it's the 2 stud style i have spares at the house as well..

What kind of lights do you have for that? I've got 2 more of these: http://www.superbrightleds.com/more...onstant-current-smd-led-sign-module/980/2393/ that I'll bring to install. Thanks for the reminder!

Those are itty bitty. I bet you could tuck those into anywhere. The pair that are on there are general purpose type flood lights. I see them on small older tractors a lot. I can't see any of the light when they are on. I have a pair of rectangle yellow lenses lights that I thought about mounting on the bottom side of my upper links. The second set I thought about mounting to the front axle spring pad. In both locations, the lights would be up out of the way, not catch any rocks (flying or otherwise) and be aimed or have enough distance for the light to spread.

Yeah, I am looking to fool my system on Foo. PO took lower O2 sensor out (and cats) and put in straight pipe. To fool sensor, it still needs to be in place. Now that you mention it, I think you are correct that it takes the two studs. I will take a look, but I think you are right. Thanks,

Anyone interested in LED lights, show up to the weekend. I have all sorts of light and will show what I found and like.

Awesome...I was thinking about that this morning and what options work well with what placement. I'll be there, and I'm in for Molle, Olathe, and Okie Joe's on Friday as well (any excuse is a good excuse to take a 3/4 day from work!).
 
Ok, we need to talk food for next week.

Jamie, I know you have a big smoker that you "could" bring, does anyone else have a trailer smoker or more portable unit? I have some hickory left to use for smoking and maybe a stick of apple left.

We'll bring the weber smoker (R2D2)...bro in law is going to come with for wrenching weekend to meet some of the guys, and will probably bring his 89 4runner as well (not wrenching on it). Pretty sure I'll get him up to SMORR at least for Saturday/Sunday.

I can load up the smoker and have it with me on Friday.

How much is in a tube and what are you wanting for them? I was thinking of getting a 4lb tub to cover my front end and a little extra.

And speaking of never getting the deal done... I still have some wheels and tires for you if you still want them. Sorry, I kinda forgot about it.

I will be in for a radiator, oil pump seal, dizzy o ring, and crank shaft seal. All the stuff I didn't do before my trip to Colorado.

Sounds like Mike and I will be doing some of the same stuff.

This may sound ignorant, but what's the "dizzy o ring?"
 
80 series are known to leak around that O ring on the front right side of the block. Trick is that you have to reset the timing.

Do you have a timing gun or do I need to bring one?
 
Sst. Spare front rebuild stuff. Hoist. Bender. Tie rod popper. Tube bender. Seal installation tool and hub socket, two o2 bungs all on their way.
