Drove up to Bogus Basin, a local ski resort, and did some mtn biking! And the truck handled great on the windy road!
today i looked at my truck parked in the garage and now dread that i have to put it back up on jacks for the third time so i can drop the oil pan and clean it out. its taking me way longer than expected to get this thing running smoothly again.
Finally had some time away from the wife and kids and got to give the girl a bubble bath, also cleaned up the inside alittle.
slapped on some unused calmini shocks at the rear..too long tho..might bottom hard if i have a load(which is every night!) fronts being a bitch to take off!
Did 2 hours of prep for 5 minutes of painting: (I'm a bit OCD and I hate overspray.) Also did some claybar on the roof and hood, and "converted" some 9003 xenon bulbs to fit the 9007 housing of the 4runner lights so that the plugs would match.
worked on my front a arms, fabbed up upper bags mounts and notched my k-member to fit a 2600 bag up in the front. tomorrow i'll finish all the arms, the passenger bag mount and k member notch, and make the sleeves from the rack the the heims for the steering... Amost a roller!!!!
i.... found out what was wrong with it with SD Yota's help. I switched out my MAF or VAF to a new one. So it's up and running after 3 months. I also went to autozone where MacRib hooked it up.
I took off the leader hose of my new 2nd compressor out of the tank and wrapped the threads in teflon tape and then reinstalled it.
My engine backfired (i made it do it), And exploded my muffler like a hand granade. Dont know why I did it.... Temporary lapse of sanity.
Put my dash back together with the screws nvrenufedge got me from one of his junkyard excursions. THANKS MAN
i replaced a severly broken lower balljoint and lower control arm bushing shaft after driving on them for a week... man that was a scary commute to work. now i can play race/drift car again
Not my truck but today I replaced the tranny on my nephew's 95 Taco 4x4. It was making bad noises in reverse. The truck has a 3" body lift which made it ALOT easier!
Put a new water pump on my truck b/c it was making a horrible ass noise that made me nervous..... installed(set inside the truck held in with one bolt) civic drivers seat put some gas in it finally and drove it around for about 7 miles to make sure everything was ok.... temp guage runs right in the middle.....
got the oil pan dropped and cleaned out along with the pickup screen. that thing was really nasty....probably the cause of my low oil pressure (i'm hoping)
