sure!
how about my Garage, the usual time ( 9pm ) I'll have Decaf on brew, bring your own lawn chair , I have some, but better safe than sorry. I have milk and sugar, and mugs.
a propane space heater.
if you need the address, shoot me a PM.

 

So, I bought myself a lathe and have been teaching myself how to turn perfectly good bar stock into scrap. Anyone have any good Tacoma project ideas?

 

Hinge for a swing out tire carrier?

 

I swear, I have these ideas I want to come to life, and they need a lathe, but now that you ask, i'm drawing a blank!

 

Thanks to @Canoehead for the help last wednesday night on the teardown of the MC for the bike, I was able to re-assemble the master cylinder and bleed the brakes on Friday. Still can't find the old piston that shot out!.

not truck related, but I like show'n tell
Soaking the new parts in brake fluid as per the FSM.

Ewwww! old nasty!


new hotness


took the old girl out for a ride on friday, friggen cold! turned my vision of a big long ride into getting to and from the closest gas station, LOL
this picture is from 2011, but its the only decent pic I have


its an 81 Honda CB750C that I've owned since early 2009
16V, DOHC, inline 4cyl beast. Love this thing. Decent torque for riding 2up, but rev's to 12k for when its just me out on a tear .

 

Speaking of Wednesday... or any other night, are we going to meet this week?

 

I'm making hinge pins and bushings for my swing out tailgate. Rather that attach something to the bumper I want to make a new tailgate that will drop down or swing out like a ridgeline one, while also being able to have a spare tire mounted to it.

 

I do have a snowblower that needs the front end rebuilt before winter

oh and all this cool S**T to weld up!

 

Did you use the front camera at all on Saturday?

 

Yes I did actually.

Over the first steep hill, it was nice to glance at and make sure no big rocks sneeked onto the trail ( you know, 1 min after you had just done it ) and really nice over the 2nd smaller one, that was right after the first. with the nose sky high,I could look across the top at one point and see where I was roughly in relation to the tracks.

no gonna lie, not necessary, but for $15 it was nice to have.

honestly if it weren't for my son watching DVD's while we wheeled, I would have had it on the entire trip. I'll take you out to the little hill beside the baker Drive Mazda dealership and let you have a gander for yourself.

 

Got the new clutch in my white tacoma and the 2.5" daystar liftkit in. also swapped tires from the green one to the white one. Now i just gotta wait for my gas-tank i just found out i needed to come in.


Also put the green tacoma back to "Grandpa-spec" to get it ready for sale next week lol

 

sorry man been busy and forgot about this place, i can definitely cut stuff like that too. Let me know if you need anything else but pm me

 

Looking good!

how do you find the 2.5" lift treating you? it looks like you'll be needing some sliders on that rig next .

I noticed you have the general grabber AT's how do you like them?

 

no worries, I figured you were busy. How is work going anyway?

 

So I might have found my new frame hole. She's only a little hole near the drivers side engine mount, but I am going to call Toyota tomorrow and see if I am eligible. Otherwise time to cut and weld.

 

I have to check mine over, it would be so nice to get a new frame!

 

What's the word? Keep us posted!

 

I have an appointment next Wednesday with Kentville Toyota to have an inspection done and get the word on whether or not they will replace the frame. It apparently had the corrosion prevention stuff applied to the frame in 2014, but that shouldn't affect me.

 

Good luck with Kentville Toyota. They wont do any of the recalls on my truck because its modified.

 

Super busy but Im also finishing up a duplex I built on the side which has been exhausting. Love making stuff though so if someone needs something small or anything dont worry about asking
