340 quarts of ws transmission fluid

Avalon gets drain and fill every oil change

 

Your kids are gunna love putting on your estate sale after youve croaked. I imagine @BartMaster1234 will fly in for it.

 

Leftover fluid from warranty work. I do a lot of toque converters

 

Not bad. Just run another bead next to it and sort of overlap. Helps you hold a straight line. Do that until the entire piece of tube is covered all the way around. Always chip the slag before you run another one.

 

It's no beauty queen but I'd likely trust it to hold some non critical stuff together. If you want to know what kind of penetration (nice) you're getting it can be worth cutting it perpendicular to the weld path.

Sometimes even great looking welds can be superficial and fail with MIG especially

 

Im starting to see a wave form and getting a fill for the motion. Still ugly but I think its a good start

 

So the real question is am I already better than Tyler Lmao jk

 

Keep at it and you might be.

 

I am elated. It all fits together just fine. You can use any ABS 8.4” axle shafts on an 8.0” e-locked housing.

2000 Tacoma 8.0” E-Locker Housing, 1999 4Runner Limited Axle Shafts, and the donor 4.10 differential.

 

Did you include the price of a new wheel stud in the $600?

 

Got em

 

Three new wheel studs. I don’t know what they were doing to get the third out but they bent one of them, and snapped off two of them.

 

I’m waiting on the measurements from @mechanicjon ’s buddy when he gets back from vacation the length of a true e-locker axle shaft. I was told while the 8.4” shafts will work, they are a tad shorter than a normal 8.0” e-locked axle shaft and can be a point of failure.

 

I know not to wheel into poop water or a highway median, however.

 

You sure the shafts are strait?

 

My truck has abs 8.4 axle shafts lmao. So if i buy a elocker housing and 3rd im set lmao

 

You're SUA right, how hard is it to convert to SOA?
