Great White Taco build

Just going to leave this here. Going to copy the mount, and probably add some rubber stoppers too, like this:

Thats a gorgeous house with some nice garages. But thats a long way from the city. Bout 45 mins. If you got a job at Hill AFB, thatd be perfect though.

 

I think id want to be about 30 min from a city. Maybe its perfect

 

Just checked the map, and its closer than I thought. Youd be about 20 mins north of city center. Great area.

 

Hopefully it will be available in 8 years when im really ready to move (fat chance)

 

That's the owner of tandem offroad! I was just in there the other day getting my CSF radiator installed. They are awesome

 

Awesome! I was just looking up flatbeds for no reason

 

@Arcticelf its interesting that he tied his sliders into an engine cage type thing. Noting this for the future

Ordered a frame plug kit, valve cover gaskets, intake plenum gasket, and throttle body gasket in preparation for the Cam gear upgrade, which will probably happen in the spring.

Still want/need to order an OEM water pump, thermostat, and possibly that CSF aluminum radiator - also for spring engine refresh. I already have Mishimoto silicone radiator hoses and new PCV valve in hand.

Also need to remake my air compressor mount bracket. Been delaying things for no reason

 

will see you in 2 weeks, but the mode will be: gotta drive this thing home, because Im broke and need to replace stuff. Overbuilt - I just want to go camping

Driver side CV outer boot has been leaking grease for a while. I have a spare that should go in, in temporary (because I havent ordered CVJ remans yet), but been lazy, and havent been doing maintenance. At least I should do an oil change, and possible a tcase fluid change.

 

The new version of the CSF is compatible with the 2nd gen fan shroud, so you don't have to mess with the FJ shroud.

Also, I have a spare FJ shroud if anyone needs it...

 

@DannyBFresco thanks for the hand written note and patch! Got me laughing this morning!






ill get it in the truck later today

 

Congrats to you and Melina!

 

Congrats Melina and son!!!!
