San Diego BS Thread.

that exactly what Deaver described to me

 

Oceanside was burning today

 

The Mrs mentioned that. A fire at/near the restaurant.

 

wow that is something else

 

Did they say what caused it yet?

 

Not 100% sure but looks like it was contained to the restaurant. They have been doing repairs last couple years. Just got 4 million for repairs this year I believe.

 

Got it. I was wondering if there was some foul play going on but that just how mind my works

 

Oh I wouldn’t doubt it. Lol

 

Looking for a set of oem black lug nuts

 

Have a set of gear tech custom fender liners for a second gen with fender trim. Really just clearing out the garage if anyone is interested shoot me an offer. Located in North PB

 

I finally got the new 6.3 LS swap in the Tacoma reinstalled (again, ugh) and fixed the rear main seal leak, even though all the gaskets were brand new. Didnt find anything obviously wrong and replaced all gaskets again and crossed my fingers, and no leaks so far after a few miles of driving.
Since the motor is back in and all the A/C lines are connected I got it charged to blow nice cold air for the summer heat, but now I have to wire up the AC system to trigger using the Terminator ECU, I was able to charge it by just running temp power to the compressor for now.

The truck is gonna be a lot of fun! Just posted a pic of before I put the core support back on,,

 

Yay wiring, and programming the ECU to figure out what to do with the signals and building some switching circuits using multiple relays to make it work properly since I’m running out of in/out curcuits.
Next time I do a setup like this I’ll just use the Dominator ECU, it’s got a ton more I/Os than the TerminatorX Max does and uses the same software for anyone that cares. lol

 

I forgot why you changed to a 6.3 from the ls1?

 

I got a forged stroker kit for the LS1, might as well put some stronger guts inside it...it is now a 383, and boy can I feel the extra torque compared to the 5.7!!
The cost of a forged stock sized rotating assembly (Summit Pro LS series) was the same as the stroker setup so might as well!

And my multiple relay setup worked great until I added the 3rd one and now it wants to backfeed, guess I'll have to use some diodes now..

 

To my fellow San Diegans....Be careful camping...

Extremely lucky to have survived.

 

Extremely lucky to not be turned into Sloth from the Goonies, that 4runner is opened like a can.

 

Did you need a body lift? Considering this mod myself

 

How to win a Darwin award:
Step one, spark up a cig while there is an obvious propane leak inside a vehicle creating an explosive vessel.
Step two, die while running in circles totally engulfed into flames feeding the fire with additional oxygen.

He is lucky he didnt follow those particular steps, but boy was he close.

They said standing next to it?? Not sure how that is possible unless there was a ginormous leak and he had the window open and he was hanging through the window. Sheesh, what a moron, Propane has quite the strong odor so people can avoid things like this, that was quite a spicy blast!!
