S.O.B!!! figures id brake my truck a few days before the show!!!! i went to drop off some mail for my g/f.... i had to go over some big speed bumps and this happened....




tore up my tire also








im not sure how to replace the bent part yet???

 

hmmm looks good like that!

J/K sucks to hear man.

 

damn. welcome to my world. im always ripping off my exhaust bracket. cant you hammer it flat and put the arm back in? or do you have to replace the whole torsion bar?

 

im not sure yet... i cant drop the baby off at daycare so i have her until mommy gets home so i haven't had ant time to jack it up and check it out.
i barely had time to take pics and upload them lol

 

Well I was unable to get my Tranny Swapped, so it will just be the wife and I in Her Mazda. and some other mazda guys

 

well i found the problem...its a little bent lol

 

well it sounds like we're all have'n that last minute delim's I've been busy swaping my front end over on mine and I ran over to a buddys this morning and ended up running over his dog so I spent today at the vet insted so maybe tomorrow night I'll get to finish putting my truck together its going to be a late one

 

i just got into the house. worked on my orange one for a few hours today. got the carpet padding put in on the drivers side and trans tunnel. and the carpet on the drivers side. i did pretty much two layers of pad over most of it. some are 3 or 4 on the tunnel to build the shape out to flat for my console. since i have waited until its got carpet to do the side extension to the floor. looks like a little trimming on the edges and it will sit real nice. passenger side carpet should be a breeze after doing the side with all the pedals and column and wiring. lol.

this is like a mini sema rush. only its a bunch of daily drivers that cant seem to stay working. lol.

 

i always wondered if you could re-key a yota torsion. maybe use a datsun torsion bar.


if it makes any of you feel any better, i spent the last 2mo or so doing lil things on my wheeler like rebuilding my front axl, new bushings and spring perches in the rear, and completly unwrapped the whole wiring harness to check for faults and installed a new efan, only to throw a rod 3mi into the shake down run for the fan, which works great btw.


then the motor i toss in there has practically no compression.


still not really sure what ill bring yet, plan to work on the wagon all day sat, if that works out, well ill need a shake down crusie and the meets only 2mi away



and if i can con a friend into it, ill have em drive the hilux

or maybe get somebody to give me a ride back to my garage and pick it up myself. would $hit my self if i got a pic of 5 hilux's

 

NO DOUT!

and just like sema I havent said anything about the other little projects I've been working on

 

haha. well ryan, i can give you a ride to get the lux sunday morning if you want. it would be the most fitting since this is a HiLUX meet

 

well my truck is fixed. today i got to fine tune the ride high

 

rule of thumb, if the bars drag youre just right haha

 

just in the nick of time! I live 6 blocks away. It would be a shame if I missed out.

I just picked up a bunch of Coke and Sprite for the meet... A 32 pack each, so I think soft drinks will be covered.
