Hmm, that's right down the road.


And I just got my TrumpBuxxx.....

 

Found the plasma cutter that the GF thought had been lent out and never returned

 

You can lend it to me and Ill gladly not return it

 

I'd call today really successful for $180. The yard was insane and I really can't even explain to you guys how many mint condition 70s-90s import vehicles were just sitting out there untouched. I saw 5 or 6 1979-84 Toyota Hilux beds with no major damage or any rot past surface rust. The domestic section of the yard is the real business for that place. There were probably 50+ people there at peak today and none were with my neighbor and I in the import section. Thankfully found what my neighbor/landlord needed for his CRX restoration.

Skipped a rolled 01 double cab because I couldn't get inside without having to pull broken glass out of the way. Didn't have leather gloves or a prybar to try the doors. Engine bay was literally bare. Not even the windshield wiper motor. Missed out on two low mile R150Fs + transfer case because you have to call ahead for the yard to raise a truck off it's lower a arms and axle. They rarely weld steelies to the frame like some yards do to raise things off the ground, and they have no parts inventory online. The guy at the front said they never will... which keeps people away.

01-04 oak Tacoma console (needs some work but everything is there besides a latch and cup holder rubber tabs)
AC Tundra console in gray (was full of water from the windshield being smashed but is pretty solid)
AC grey Tundra bucket seats. Really solid since the truck only had 120K. Has one deformation in the driver seat from a heavy part laying on it. Stains should come out.
5VZ airbox (found 4 more but left them thinking the yard would be expensive)

I did find a 1st gen Tacoma driver side storage cover but it was damaged and bent in half from the elements. I found a 2nd gen Tacoma but it's airbag had deployed. @Empty_Lord @Kwikvette

 

It belonged to her late husband so I don't think that would go over too well

 

How much for the 01-04 oak Tacoma console (needs some work but everything is there besides a latch and cup holder rubber tabs)?

 

Was that in Angelo or somewhere else? Pretty good selection for out there.

 

I almost don’t want to tell anyone now lol. Not Angelo we have nothing. This was Abilene.

 

Lol. Your secret is safe, I live farther away now.



Angelo at least has some decent hiking, although abilene has some good mountain biking..

 

How often do you guys service your floor jacks?

Had mine for a couple years now and last time I noticed it leaking a bit of fluid when I was using it. Gonna use it tomorrow so I bled it and put more fluid in it for the first time today but hopefully it doesn't have a leak.

Kinda want one of those new red HF ones anyway...

 

Got screens and splines at Home Depot out here no problem, maybe try there

 

Funny you ask

I had a jack for about 10 years now and finally serviced it last year.

Had some oil for it..

Edit: I'm talking hydraulic jack btw

 

Only if it starts to leak down.


Get the extended hf warranty.

 

If you buy a bottle of fluid from the parts place it will probably come with some kind of stop-leak guarantee

 

Haha damn I skipped the kind with stop leak in it thinking it was probably just an upsell, got the regular stuff instead. Oh well I'll see how it goes tomorrow, if it still leaks it'll be an excuse to get the lower profile one with a higher lift ability. I have to use a 2x4 on top of mine to get it to lift the front end to where I like it

 

Today really puts the turd in Saturday

 

I need to figure out if I'm keeping my 99 flatbed. Found a red 95 access cab that was rear ended in this yard. So now I can technically go in and cut the fender aprons and core support off it and tack weld it into my 99 (then do the 95-97 front end conversion).

Just need to make sure my frame is straight. If I don't put this console in my flatbed you're first in line.
