nawww... but thx for the thought

just keeping my list organized and knocking them out 1 by 1

 

Or the >10$ Toyota parts

 

BTW check this out. The record cat caught on Lake Texoma by this guide, and he's buddy of a member on here.... 121.5 lbs

 

been there, did that. just comparing these two. first time i've come across that imitation for the ARB breather.

 

HOLY HELL. That is a MONSTER.

 

Yeah I'm messing around.
You definitely got your stuff organized. Those are the projects that are fun. I'm a plan it out type, not to big on the 'just wing it' approach to a project

 

Any timeline on the lights? I'm just messing with ya.

 

That's hilarious. They're not even trying to hide it.

 

hahaha haven't forgotten. you did say you weren't in a rush. I still need to find a suitable box for these things, they are huge lights. then again, i'm probably just overthinking it - just a damn box.

 

just like the snorkel

although, looking at the other image they included in the product details -



WTF. lol

 

@BartMaster1234 I want to see you restore this bad boy

God, $200? My cheapest vehicle so far was the Nissan at $500. 5-Lug at $600.

That's an excellent candidate for an RV conversion.

 

Who's hungry?

 

So I finally replaced the clunky one this morning...and the clunking is finally gone

It was a greasable Daystar poly bushing kit in there, and I just replaced it with another (new) one that I've had sitting around for awhile

The old ones I took out looked just fine, I was half expecting they'd be cracked or something. Only thing I can figure is that they were clunking because for the first several months I was putting the wrong kind of grease in them (black moly grease).

The new ones I installed with a generous helping of Energy Suspension silicone grease and they don't make a peep now, so I'm guessing that was the issue...wrong kind of grease. Make sure to use PTFE silicone grease on your poly bushings and they should be ok.

Next time I redo my leaf springs though I'm going to start off with rubber bushings from the get go

Also tightened up my ebrake finally, cable was looser than a 5 peso hooker. Didn't get around to doing the cv axle, wife had to run some errands so I'm on baby duty this afternoon

 

Engine art!

 

Well the Rav4 is back in action. $4k later...

Also, even though the vehicle doesnt need a chip key to start and run, they had to have the original OEM key to program the new ECU. Any insight on why that is @Empty_Lord?

The original key stopped unlocking the doors, so my sister quit using it. Thank God my dad stashed it in his tool box, otherwise we wouldve forked out for a new key from Toyota.
