Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

Thank you Mark, I appreciate ya. Need to run in to you to re check torque on everything. I'm sure you've put more than 500miles on it by now

 

You da man. Any way, when we doin the oil seal? I got the crank holder.

 

Yes sir. I put about 1500 already. After our trip to the PINS a week after you did the install I greased the UCA's and rechecked torque and all good. I get a break from work this weekend so I can check torque again and let you know through text. Truck rides amazing, I can't get over that. Only thing I've been a little surprised at was how much the front settled. Wish I had a bit more lift up front but I'm still very happy. New wheels and tires will be on early next year which will enhance the look. Can't make my mind up on 16" or 17" wheels.

 

If you off-road go with 16s for that additional sidewall height.

 

This is the route I went, but beware that most 16" offroad tires are load range E, which is heavier and rougher ride.

 

Processing deer today and mad a rookie mistake . Always cut away from thineself...

Stabbed myself in the wrist. Right beside the vein and tendon luckily. Bout a quarter inch deep. Just a nice puncture wound. Not a gory pic at all, just a little hole. Sore but noticably no tendon damage.

Morning all !!

 

Morning all

Big Red update. Got the new seal on the windshield and me and Cay tried to put it on. Was doing pretty good until we realized we put the windshield to high on the pinch weld. Took it off and are trying again another time. I have to say though things work a lot easier when you 1. put the gasket on right and 2. have the right gasket! Got my sunvisor hooked up ready to go and I found out that my truck didnt come with a passenger visor or mirror from the factory which is crazy. I do have indents where I could drill two holes for the visor clip and then attach the visor. I have to look again to see if I need to drill a big hole with a hole saw for the actual visor. Also, thinking about doing a floor shifter conversion from three on the tree. To me it seems better but I could also save and get a 4 speed muncie and put that in since I do have a trans tunnel with a punch out for a 4 speed shifter. Oh! I also bought a center jump seat for $40 from a Chevy truck and I am going to take the seats that arent bolted in the 50 and move them to Big Red Hopefully, I get a taker on the 50 soon because I'm getting tired of seeing it in my garage

 

Morning crew!



Where's @ChadsPride

 

This was disappointing. I was expecting some gut wrenching reaction of horror. And all I get is a little boo boo.




Next time I expect a hand to be missing or some serious mangled limb action.



Just be sure to stop and take a pic before going to the hospital.
