San Antonio

Yessir it was an all day affair

Got it fired up this morning though and no codes! We’ll see how long this head gasket can hang on

 

Good mornin yall! Have a great sunday, it’s beautiful out there

 

Fingers crossed man you might end up retiring the tax business becoming an engine builder

 

I've been thinking about doing some work on the side at some point. Mine has kept me busy up until now though

 

Great work Mr. Robert. I have full confidence in it! Remember to compliment it continually! It's like "don't forget to tip the robot!"

Yes, warmed up enough for some serious putz!

 

Thanks Kurt, it was a real learning experience. Hoping i dont have to do this anytime soon. Ill make sure to encourage it each morning, maybe thatll help. It sure seems like it wants to live anyways

Just finished cleaning up everything from yesterday, time to kick back

 

Ya know, building a engine is fun? Compared to putting everything back in the vehicle!!!!

 

Haha i would definitely agree with you there. It’d be way less painful if the engine was out of the vehicle too. And yeah it’s amazing how much stuff is crammed in that engine bay, they know how to pack it all in there

 

Made it home, right at 8.5 hours with stops. We were fighting the wind the entire way back just like the drive out, averaged 13.5mpg for the trip whole trip.

 

They are the Carhartt seat covers, I picked them up from @Aggiesdm
I had been wanting a set since I got my Tacoma but they're pricey new.

I have the ones I'm taking off, just for the front seats. I think I can fit them in a flat rate box, if you want to cover the shipping they're yours.

 

Just thought I’d throw this out there for some that may not know
I got my Fox 2.5 coilovers rebuilt and springs swapped over at TPM Racing over in Selma right behind Retama Park. I almost was going to make the drive out a bit past Austin to meet up with another option I had heard about. long story short did great work very very quick turnaround and was great to work with. If you ever need a rebuild on Fox or King I would highly recommend Steve at TPM.
fyi

Getting rebuilt. Leaks at 30k.




took em for a refresh.



Beautiful.




All done.
I’ll adjust height once again in a week or so when they settle. Happy as a hippo.

 

If @05prerun82 doesn't want them, I will be glad to pay the postage! My fabric is thin, and I'm not wanting to spend the monies for the ones I'd like until I get done underneath!

 

You're so lucky the wind switched yesterday! Otherwise, you'd have had help!

 

Busy day at the property, another load of trash brought home.



Momma cat had 4 kittens, took about a hour to locate them, of course she used trash/card board box as shelter.

 

Took the camper off and put the tire carrier back in the bed today. Also drove it some more and all seems well so far! Gonna start dailying it again now

 

Afternoon.

We did. My stepdaughters love it out there and my daughter had a blast playing in the sand and watching the birds. Lol. It's been too long since I've been down there. Finally got to see my dad since he got out of the hospital too. It was a damn good weekend for me. Next meet up I gotta go have a brew.

 

Cool I was thinking about doing wet okies but i heard you sweat really bad in the summer time

 

Well i guess I'm learning to play the banjo my wife got me one for my birthday
