literally that is a NO GO
i checked many auto body shops here and they told me they only do collision type of work

 

Yeah ive had alot of dreams where ive been at work. Shit wakes me up sometimes

 

It's a weird pushup and rotate down motion. But you can leave the motor in as long as you don't have some sort of shorty motor mount

 

You need to go easy on the OT dude...I get it, you're young and making good money is awesome, but you're gonna burn yourself out in your 20s when you're supposed to have that happen in your 40s like a normal person

 

I guess I'll have to give it more effort tomorrow

 

I've just tipped em down and pushed up at the pinion, it's tight but it came out. Makes it easier to move the engine for sure tho.

 

Work/life balance is a very real thing

 

Yeah that looks bad for a couple reasons. Ice is no bueno and that rust colored rubber isn't promising either.

Also did it have a dual battery setup, that battery is on the wrong side. Unless it was a 92

 

But I genuinely enjoy work. I have no hobby at home. Works all i got

 

Oh yeah it's a fj80, I see a brass radiator

 

You do you boo, just sayin work/life balance is very real. Enjoying what you do for work is a huge accomplishment most people don't achieve so that's awesome you feel that way. But be sure to use some of that hard earned money to treat yo'self and enjoy non-work related things from time to time

 

93 and 97 have the same DOHC engine. 93 just has a better and much larger transmission. If it's the pushrod 4.0 its a 92 or below.

 

It’s a bit of a bitch, so I’ve heard.
@BartMaster1234 can maybe give some advice

 

Yeah the old 3F-E is short because the head is just a cast iron wedge and the valve cover is a small deal too since it's only rockers up there.

The 1FZ can boogy and has way more torque and top end, as a bonus the crank, rods, and cams are way stronger too. The 3F-E was a low power carb engine that was converted to EFI when the 60 series turned into the 62 series in the early 80s. It was a holdover that should have never been in such a heavy vehicle like the 80.

 

It's a stud on the differential. You have to lift it up very deliberately for it to clear the frame.

 

I've got a few box wrenches that say "W. GERMANY" on them.

 

@Wulf

The best advice I've gotten is to "rotate it forward". I did that at the junkyard and got it out in a few minutes. The pinion flange will want to hit the transmission bellhousing.

 

So our dog is really My dog; when I get home Luna is crazy excited and follows me EVERYWHERE.

I'm used to this as we've had her since 8 weeks old....6 years ago.

Anyway, when I get home from a 13hr work day I'm quick to get comfortable and take a shower. Luna Always follows me to the bathroom and lays on the bath mat. Every now and then she will suddenly jump in the shower; I'm too exhausted for this shit today lol

 

Go pro or cell booster

 

Cell booster seems more useful. Your Sony can shoot video
