    Finally did the wiper reservoir relocation mod based on all of the great contributions to the DIY wiper reservoir thread. This mod is slightly more involved for us 2.7L guys because of our air-box location.

    Did you replace your nozzles too? I've been absolutely loving my Honda Odyssey nozzles. I've convinced 2 of my friends to replace their old Toyota nozzles, too :p

    Dude not yet, but that is totally on my list. I’ve seen that adventure taco guy’s write-up on his site. It looks like a must do. So it’s the Honda Odyssey of any year as long as they 90 degree back toward the passenger side?

    Be sure to dump 2 into the cart...

    or grab them from partsouq and its about 6 bucks cheaper. They'll ship for Dubai but they ship using FedEx Air.

    I ordered them from my local Honda dealership and picked them up there. I think they were about $11 each after tax.

    That being said, 882s are entirely too tall for trucks without any added weight in the front. Just from personal experience even with a double cab v6 4wd.

    Going through the process of replacing the front main and doing a few other things like rebuilding the oil pump and new water pump while in there. Here's the starter bump method for anyone who might be planning the same, super easy worked great.

    Also found this funny... ordered the pump off Rockauto and its a Toyota part just scratched out.

    thought I had already posted these:
    rad.rev.2.jpg
    rad.rev.3.jpg

    The guy I bought the taco from said he burned the motor up 70k back and had a "new" put in, no paperwork to back it up but Im guessing he in fact did overheat the motor and these are the remnants from that.
    I did a rad flush, about a full week of drain and fill, once with rad flush cleaner which stated good for rust, I have no idea what that is, could have been clay .
    I could not get the resivor clean so I bought a new one. once I got it installed I refilled with anti-freeze and finished this weekend and good timing too because we just got 25* temps over night.

    Best way I've found to clean stuff like that is to throw a handful of nuts, bolts, and washers inside and shake vigorously with your choice of cleaner. I like Fast Orange hand cleaner. I also put mine in with a load of dirty laundry so I don't have to shake it myself :D

    Gave up trying to pull this cab corner…. I’ll let the body shop deal with it when they’re freed up. Tossing some paint on it for now to stop rust from forming

    With lots of help from Big Dan, we replaced a section of brake line today that I damaged when I was in Moab last week. Thanks for the help with this Dan. :hattip: @drr

    Had to modify the fitting bracket that goes to the passenger side brake caliper so the brake line could be routed away from the header collector.

    No. The issue is inner support seems to be weaker than the bend. It’s just deforming before the metal moves

    Heard a knocking on my drive home the other night, got scared, turns out I just had a spark plug back out.
    Still need to chase the threads in the head and get a new plug back in

    It looks like the brake line got smacked by the header collector. The brake line was between the header and the dipstick tube.
