BassAckwards' AWD Turbo 2TR-FE

I haven’t tig’d in a few months so I’m a little rusty, but got her boogered back together!

 

Lol spray welding, never heard of that. Is that like flex seal?

Practice makes perfect! Also, one of these makes a huge difference for stainless https://weldmongerstore.com/product...-for-9-20-torches?_pos=1&_sid=eb0b0bfac&_ss=r

 

It's used to build up worn shafts in industrial applications. Or apply a special coating.

 

Well damn, I learned something today! What kind of gas is used in that?

 

And likely the best for cast iron repairs.

 

I think just oxy acetalyne if I remember right.

 

Robert,
Maybe contact @allenfab he’s makes a living running a TiG. and his MiG welds are F-ing incredible just incredible!
He’s converting a reg. cab five lug into a SAS with LS power…
Check out his build. I tried to get him just to do the fabrication on my truck. Again he’s incredibly awesome welder and “Fabricator”‼️

When are you going to build the engine?????? Unless the built engine buy comes through...?

 

I am waiting to see if that works out.. if not then i'll likely be buying a donor truck to pull the engine/swap into mine and then i'll be building my old engine since i know the maintenance history. Really hoping i am able to buy that built engine though. Still waiting on an update

 

What “Built” engine? What did I miss? I know my dementia is getting worse but I don’t remember hearing about a Built engine up for sale. I should have a 07 stocker with just over 35k for sale shortly. Hopefully!?

 

If you don't snag it, I'm next in line I think

 

I don't believe it was ever formally posted for sale.. It's another member's on here and i sent him a PM pretty quick after he posted that he might have some things up for grabs!

Hopefully one of us ends up with it! That baby needs to get put to use

 

I heard built engine. Zup

 

I’m not selling this one yet!! But if I was offered enough then maybe?

 

Yeah absolutely. That motor is what originally brought me to TW.

 

Your truck looks cool. Any build threads?

 

Not yet, maybe this spring once I have some time between events. Best place to find progress posts on it would be https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2002-tacoma-for-autocross.703097/

 

Replaced my backup camera wiring harness since the plug on the old one got brittle and broke when I unplugged it recently. My 2009 took the 4 pin style plug/harness- part number 82182-04011. The old one was quite brittle from back when I had my exhaust routed incorrectly and it melted some stuff.


Started working on a new down-pipe today. Fill rod is not my thing but other than that it’s fitting a little better than the last one. I’m at the point now where I need to try to fit a straight 3” piece on it, so I called it a day there.

 

At this point, the best thing is that you're learning new techniques and skills.
