SearArtist, Build and BS thread

It’s far less work. LMK if you wanna buy any of my swap parts

 

Sounds good. What do you have left?

 

all of it except the brake lines and superbumps.

 

111,827mi

oil/filter, tire rotation, spark plugs, coolant drain/fill.

Passenger side was easy enough

middle one was loose enough to get out by hand.




And driver side is done, not the worst job ever but def tight. The right tools make all the difference.

all three were tight

 

Was gonna do my plugs today, probably tomorrow.

 

took me about an hour. Wasnt the worse plug job I’ve ever done.

 

I changed out my overhead console, added a few things to the rtt. Really need to cut that cab mount tomorrow

 

Plugs dont look to bad. Def not the worst ive ever seen.

 

they looked fine to me. Still gapped at spec. Probably woulda been fine for another 30k IMO.

the 60k interval is nonsense since they are iridium plugs.

 

I agree!

 

Good to know/have another data point on the denso wear nearly at the "2nd" scheduled interval.

 

get the socket tool I posted in the other thread. Along with some long extensions and a swivel you’ll be good to go, assuming you have some basic mechanic skillz

 

I'm pretty sure btw my FiL and neighbor I'll be able to get that tool, but by the looks of it, if they don't, I've got to put on double to miles, going by the looks of yours (but who knows perhaps a quick pull of one to gap check at the next or following oil change)...basic skills at wrenching are present at times, at other times don't even think about it!

 

New front brakes today: EBC “stage 5”

shafts lubed

DD SS3 Sport SAE fogs installed

New Morimoto D2S headlight bulbs, cause the Philips weren’t rated for 55w ballasts and yellowed out over the years.

And @FadedComa graced me with his presence, although still sick from the rona.

 

best mod ever.
