Plumed all the vacuum lines correctly, some were in the wrong spot, installed the map/dome lights form a 4runner, added a new grab handle to driver side, added the clock, and glove box light and switch for it. debating on lowering it or not.

 

Looked at my truck, looked at the rain/snow, said ^%@#it and went back inside.

 

filled the tires, got another new battery for her and put some gas in and drove around the block a few times...

 

I stayed overnight at the AFB dorms with my friends, dropped truck off at home, showered up. looked at truck. and left it home all day. just got back home.

 

dropped her 2" and prepped the new valance.

 

Dropped about 200 on the asking price....

 

Spent about 2 hours removing, cleaning, inspecting, reinstalling the dam EGR valve. Reinstalled the stock O2 sensor. Took it to see if it woukd pass smog. IT FAILED! for the 4th time...

 

What's the failing part of the smog test?





















on my truck today, I went to eat lunch with my friends during break. It was sprinkling. I drifted into the school parking lot, and barely saved the truck... nicked this huge brick cinder thing. lol minor exterior damage. just a dent in my bumper. gunna hammer her out and spray it.
and then my friend managed to get my passenger window off track, so gunna look at that tomorrow.


second row, biggest block

Just the top dent


it was just trading paint. the truck locked up.... once again counter right, i think if i let off the brake at the right moment it would've just followed the tires and avoid the wall. Who knows. I **** around with physics too much.

 

welded the bracket that supports the steering box back to the frame... lil bastard broke off and was making the steering box wiggle back and forth when turning! super fun drive to work

 

currently finishing up the bumper. Took my hammer to the inside of it. it's not exactly perfect, but most of it got bumped out. heated it up first too. on the outside i wire brushed and sanded it. currently spray painting it (since my truck's front end is sprayed anyway)

 

Got the go ahead from my buddy to bring truck to shop. Sucks cause he can only help on Sundays so this is gonna be slow.

 

Especially if he wants to get his truck done first.

And its too bad I couldn't have mine done too, he would have a shop full of Yota's.

 

He can do yours but your beating round the bush about buying parts

 

I know, but the wife and I are waiting to see how her new job goes first. So we're leaving a little padding in the bank. But if her job goes better than expected, ITS ON!




Took the shell off, rides a ton better now! Washed her, now just need some chrome wheel cleaner. Does anyone use Meguiars chrome wheel cleaner?

 

I know the "Mother's Chrome polish" works well

 

installed the IS300 rims, washed her up too

 

Traded taillights with Nvrenufedge. Met Oldschool his bus is sick and makes Daves (nvrenufedges) truck look like a monster truck hahahahha

 

Took out the 4 year old Optima red top and traded it in on a Duralast Gold. For some reason, Optimas have a bad track record in this area. I'm on the 3rd one in my Saleen since I bought it a year ago. Also, changed out the fuel pump since the old one was getting voltage but not pumping. She runs now! However, I managed to get too much fuel on my hands and face(trying to keep my stupid glasses up) and was high as a kite. Luckily my boy Seth was willing to give me a ride back to the house. Too bad, I wanted to bring the old girl home for the first time today...

 

put the mustang gt rear end under the truck, but forgot the studs have SAE thread pitch and not metric, so now i gotta go buy 10 toyota studs to put in the mustang studs place.

 

Ordered my bolt kit for the flywheel, front cover, and intake from LCE, and picking up the head bolt, engine gasket kit, front cover kit (with water pump, oil pump, and timing set) from Engnbldr.com this week. Have just about all I need to put my 22R together!
