upper South Carolina mod day/mod weekend

ahahahaha!!!! im really hoping he is gonna have most of what he needs when we start.

Jeff....................you'll need to get 3 gallons of coolant from the dealership to be on the safe side.

 

aight dammit.....you dont jinx it either!!

 

cool.



aight....i'll be on later.....gotta go clean up the garage and get some eats.

 

Different? Whatchoo talkin' bout Willis?

 

True nuff.

BTW, greased the prop shaft today. What a pain in the ass.

Issues:

1) SE Toyota does a shit job of rust proofing in their mandatory "extra value package". Every single zerk nipple was painted over, had to get the wire toothbrush out to clean em off.

2) Getting to the zerk in front of the t-case is BITCH. Engage 4Hi and do a few back and forths until dumb luck lines it up to where the U-joint isn't blocking fitment.

3) Have more shop towels ready than you think you'll need.

Impossible to clean off all the excess grease you push out of the joints. Expect flinggage in the next few days, followed by and underbody wash.

Also, noticed several of the flanges where the driveshaft bolts onto the t-case, diffs, etc already have surface rust...like, a full coat. Oh well. Was bound to happen at some point. I'll keep an eye on it.

Also brushed/sanded a few areas where rust was starting up back to clean metal and hit it with some rustoleum...gonna fight the shit as much as I can.

3) Repeat #2 for the second zerk on the front prop shaft.

 

wow I thought this thread was closed

 

i close/open it a few times a week. we got enough people showing up..........more than enough really.

 

Yep by me!

I might have to take him since i dont have that much to do to my truck.

or do as i did mine.........wash with dawn dish soap and a scotch brite pad...dry really well, spray on a few coats of adhesion promoter, adn then a few coats of paint. mine have been as is for a good while now......still black...no chipping or anything.

 

yeah.......tis true.........but i'll let you keep fuckin the monkeys dude.

 

Ok what about the emblems on the back, because they are rubber im pretty sure.

And where do i get the tape?

Sounds like a plan Ill get some scotch brite pads then.

 

My Sockmonkey Decals are in the Mail!!!

 

That's the other fuckin thing I needed at Lowe's. 2 sided tape to stick my bed cubby back in. I found out a 60 inch highlift will set between the bed cubbies nicely. But the weight shifting around with rip out the bed cubby with the base in it. Could be I weakened it a bit with my diff breath snorkel mod.
