DeltaVS - Yeah

 

Did you get some Spector Off Road seat covers?

 

My buddy in Little Rock started making them for the 100 series.






He also makes jack stand racks for hanging jack stands on the garage wall.

 

Very nice, I haven't ordered anything from delta but I really want one of their center consoles and shift consoles

 

I don't see him trying to offer anything for 80 series. It fills a void for 100 series products. He'll stamp out a few products on the machine that they use for another purpose as more of a convenience to 100 series owners. It is not anything beyond a convenience item for the people who know about it.

The CV axle tool has evolved into a two-piece unit that's stacked inside each other. It's stronger than the original.

On Saturday I when I parted at the trailhead to air down. The PS pump was screaming like a siren. I bought a new OEM pump and looked inside it to see there is a 2nd screen toward the back of the reservoir. I haven't installed it yet. I took a bent screwdriver and jabbed into the 2nd screen and used it to rip a tear into the screen. Once I opened the filter area it helped with the noise.

The pump is still toast but less noisy. The only thing I can figure at this point is that the fluid had gotten so hot that it semi-melted the nylon screen. The fluid doesn't flow through it as it should. I may run with the almost filterless reservoir with the new pump just to see what happens. I think I need to look into an aux PS cooler. I suspect that I'm wheeling my 100 more frequently and harder than most other owners. I see other owners wheeling, but not 2x or 3x a month on all-day rough terrain trails.

I know that I'm pushing the envelope with that vehicle outside modifying it to have a 4+ inch lift, body lift, 35+" tires, regear, and a SAS conversion.

There is a place in the UK that sells extra capacity reservoirs for 80 series and Land Rovers. None of them have screens or anything to obstruct the flow.

Oh and by the way, I learned the EM Keith will be offering PCKs for 100 and 200 series that are for the right and left side. The idea is for both sides to be lowered for a lift. They will need to be welded like the ones for the 4Runner.

 

Needs that LB, but yes pretty much

 

@Speedytech7 I've seen a number of 100 series SAS conversions go up for sale roughly a year after the conversion. I don't know if they didn't like it afterward or if they were just looking to play with it then flip it. Nobody will say anything.

 

I knew malls were struggling, but this is silly.

 

Knock-off TE37 XT?

That Hitachi variant angle grinder is way smoother on the hands and much quieter -



Spins a hefty 11k rpm.

I'm keeping this in my tool bag as my "beater" angle grinder. Already got a buyer for my M18 (I was able to compare with another M18, mine is fine).

Once the M18 sells, and I return the corded Milwaukee, I'm thinking of buying a Dewalt as part of the 2 battery deal, or a single nice Metabo (non-Hitachi).

 

The one on the left only exists for an hour before a shift once a year

 

Ayup.

My van isnt terrible. You can atleast walk around in it.

 

No, I didn't like the material and the fit was a bit too loose for my liking. I'm just gonna save some extra duckets and buy new nice seats

 

I've seen some Escape Gear covers after they have been used for a couple of years. Maybe the owner washed them too much. Didn't go well.

 

Puppies are dumb AF

 

@CS_AR are you familiar with Sentras?

My buddy's GF has an 09 that got hit in the front and they got a shop quote of $5000 to fix. When I saw it in person it looked like it needs a headlight and bumper cover but I didn't look too closely for subframe/core support damage

 

That's actually the one I got when my HF brushes went out. So much nicer
