That's why you pull my trick...



Yank off the thin ass stock skids and leave them in the ext cab portion of the truck to do service, then leave em there for 3 "offroad" trips

 

You jest


But I've known more than one person call themselves a "welder" and pull some shit like that.


.. wasn't exactly a skid plate, but same game different ballpark

 

I'd that cause of the spinny boi life?


As much as I want to pursue that venue... I deliberately lowered my compression ratio (when I rebuilt my engine) cause I enjoy running shit gas and I didn't want pinging when I start brewing my own fuel

 

This is the way.



Glad to see you're still young

Before I figured out my engine issue I was getting (at best) 11mpg .. with my 2.7 4 banger. Sometimes you just go with what I said many, many years ago for a senior quote.

"When life gives you lemons. Shut up and eat the damn lemons!"

But I'm a crazy person and was more than happy to spend the money on fuel instead of replacing the truck because it's what I WANT to drive


I have legit crazy person reasons for that logic, please don't mind my ramblings)

 

Oof.. that's tempting


Honestly if I was 19 again. I'd spend my next paycheck on that manual rav4 .. I wanna put in the wife's 01 corolla


I don't want to give you bad advice, but if I had the money, and it mated up "easy enough" to your camry? That shit be towed home with the triple A account I pay for, that I only have for the 5 free 200mile tows a year you get for 11bucks a month

 

Guys, I've been drinking. Excuse the shitposts.


Thanks for coming to me tedtalk

 

Screw the rav 4 if I piss my dad off buying another car it's going to be that Hilux

He always talks about how is buddies rusted in half an how they welded or back together

That truck will take care of the desire for a manual no need to bastardize a good car

 

Morning, and happy friday. Have a good day my friends

 

I suspect high centering roughly 1/2 way down the driveshaft the maybe in slip yoke area is where it went aground during the last time I buried it. The skids worked, but they are not far enough back.

If the driveshaft were a two-piece unit like the Tacoma, then the straight part from the center bearing into the transfer case would be at a straight angle when high centering.

Just hypothetical at this point. I'm starting to fall out of love with one-piece drive shafts.

 

I hear Bluetooth driveshafts are all the rage at SEMA this year, maybe someone will sell a kit?

 

Supplies are limited, hard to buy by themselves.

They're being paired with 40s n tons bolt-on kits.

 

I know our terrains are different, but surely you can find ways to take a better line?

I would've guessed you'd have trouble keeping your rear lower arms off of rocks.

My control arm skids are bang up, but I'm glad I have them not to mention heavier-duty arms

 

After I get the t-case rebuilt, I think I'm thinking about taking it off the road to clean it up and get it ready to sell. Somebody in Colorado or way up north would like a nice rust-free example.

Back to the original 3rd 4Runner idea. I'll need to look out of state for one though.
