just realized my temp gauge isnt working. one more reason to get another cluster or build one with aftermarket gauges.

 

I took my 93's battery out and put it on the charger. I then turned around a looked at my 83 and realized I need to get back on it.

 

Kristian and I tried to remove my original steering dampener and install another one.
We didn't successfully get it out
But I bought some mid leafs from him.


I went to the hobby shop today to get the truck on a lift. Took about 1 -1.5 hours to finallyget that thing to pop off. No pullers fit
I tore off that rubber and stuff from the old one, out.
Used a fork and hammer, much better success!
new one on! Should absorb much better.

I tried to disconnect leaf pack for mid-leaf install..

That bolt..... is freaking seized. The little no head one!
I threw PB blaster on it. I might have to cut it.

 

Just installed my mid leafs yesterday too. 4 leaf spring pack with overload, looks like i got a 4x4 pack on...

 

I finally got them on last night.
I'm running stock main, secondary, and overloads with a 3" drop block. I got myself a freaking 2-3 finger gap between tire and fender, vertically

It's okay. I have BeefedTaco's C-notch kit I need to weld in, still.

 

Took $50 went to the gas station and fulled up the tank

 

I stayed up till 4am making sure that the motor was ready to go into place now waiting on an extra pair of hands to get that bitch in there

 

Started the removal of all my air supply in the bed area to start on another of my winter projects!

 

just bought another 82 4x4 for parts
i now have 3 in my collection

 

... added a tinted front windshield banner. (6.5" center/9" outer)

No more dropping down the visors every time I change street directions

 

mounted the 34 weber and now need to finally fab a throttle cable bracket then get fuel line.

 

Congrats!
Your a Dude after my own heart!
You can never have too many yotas!!!
Or parts!!!

Been looking for a 2nd gen parts truck myself
Anyone got an 84-88 they wanna sell near NJ?

 

I finally got my engine and cab mounted!

 

I installed the 4runner fenders but still using my 2wd bumper. Just need to find some fender liners cheap.

 

check your local pick-a-part or junk yards.

 

put some armor all on the tires.

 

Got a little more none on my winter projects, one of which is the removal notch cover. The top buttons & tabs are in place ,the fit to the rear is set & next weld in the the last 3 tabs ,drill the holes for the buttons & finale fit .
Will have to reinstall the rearward tank & lines & check for clearance /removal than recoat with the bed liner!

 

It rained right after.....................

 

Change a blown fuse on my amp.

 

Started the 1UZ for the first time. Runs good. Lots more work to do.
