man you managed to find my mythical console

 

wait.... your suppose to service them?

 

Thank you. I sure need one.

 

The one in the picture was full of water when I got it and the brackets need a good sandblasting. My brother really wanted buckets for the Tundra so I have to put the console in too lol. I can pull another (brown?) console but it might have more scratches than this one did (this one has 2 or three deep ones).

I expected them to charge me WAY more than $180 for all this. So I would see stuff I wanted but was afraid they'd ask too much for it. Had to take my neighbors truck because he was getting CRX parts, and the dude is way too tall to fit in my truck. And I'll wheel my double cab and drive it across the country... but something about taking it (or any nicer vehicle) into a salvage yard doesn't sit well with me. I'd be fine driving the flatbed in there.

 

@eon_blue Do you know anything about this RPM garage? I see cruiser people raving about the place.

Today I removed the oil cooler and related mount to change out the o-rings and coolant hoses on the 4.7. My goal is to replace every 21 yo hose and engine gasket.

I see a lot of hoses that are just waiting to blow.

 

yeah haha, they're walking distance from my house. I get all my alignments done there, they do a great job. They also did my timing belt last month

 

Lol i think i was at like 6.5k rpms maybe 7 when the rev limiter started clapping.

 

Don't you have post lifts? Frig off

 

You are lucky to have them close by.

 

Seems like Toyota owners from NWA like to produce some cool videos. I need to get a good camera and spend more time in the area.

They always have the side street next to their shop lined with Landcruisers, Tacomas and T4Rs. They are definitely the go to around here for Toyota 4x4 work.
Only downside is that they're a small shop and have gotten hugely popular the last year or so. They did buy the lot next door and opened up another garage area which is good, before it was really just a 2 car garage with an alignment rack on one side of it

 

Wow I should have checked my phone's speaker volume, my wife gave me a weird look when that guy said that first line of the video lol

 

A treat especial

 

I was like uh.. It's a farm video...I mean guy stuff...yeah

 

sont worry about it.. shipping would be a pain for that sucker. I’ll find one

 

Alas not at home

 

Babe, you just don't get it
