Cummins swap

 

a little ALH TDI swap would be fun for a parts getter

you know that I need like -50 projects though

 

@Kwikvette @0xDEADBEEF @Wulf and @ anyone else who likes/wants to be a garage fabricator

This may not apply cause not alot of people work with aluminum but cutting or grinding is made soooo much easier if you "butter your disk" get yourself a big dollar store Jesus candle and bury the dusk into it anytime you're about to make cuts into aluminum. The wax will melt and prevent the aluminum from bonding to the disk, significantly reducing clogging

 

I really wish I could get another jetta TDI drivetrain to drop into a mini crawler

 

Put in the AC belt, took about 2 seconds

 

like this?

That’s a no

 

Then clearly it wasn't 2 sec

Why ya gotta lie to us?

 

Niiice hack!

Will definitely remember that.

I brought some aluminum coupons today to dial in my gas lens once I get some gas.



I've always cut aluminum with a miter saw or plasma cutter; on the miter saw that shit flings everywhere and embeds into your clothes even.

 

Again

 

the ones that get in your clothes are the worst

random stabbies for days

 

Fortunately Bronx doesn't go in the garage so I'm ok taking a hit instead.

 

My brother won't stop using that one lately. Everyone is a bumble fuck now.

So, about 2 weeks ago I bought some stools to take advantage of the big ass island.

We got a set of the black/grey colored stools, in the same height as the brown stools next to it -



Called the store to follow up on our order; we were told 6-8 weeks so I knew it'd be awhile but I wanted to get an idea. Unfortunately, just a "rough" estimate of June.

Anyway, they asked if we needed anything as they'd be happy to loan some out while we wait! 4 just got dropped off and I decided to keep 2 in the garage -





Once ours arrive, they'll happily bring us ours and pick their set up. That's fucking awesome customer service. They emphasized the need to use them as we see fit, that any accidents or damage are ok! They're loaners and they've lasted many years already.

Family owned shops are the best.

 

Coming across solid companies like that is a gift man.
Also, love those industrial style stools with the handle in the middle. Rad. I gave up finding vintage sets that weren't $$$

 

Man... $2000 for a one off 15" LT kit.... I'm very tempted.









This is a one off kit cycles about 15" does have some bump steering but handles great. Has ballistic fab rebuildable unit balls, uses Nissan titan unit bearings, still in good shape no slop after 6 years. Has camburg heim joint rack adapters. king 10" coilovers. Uses stock tacoma rotors and calipers

 

Seems kinda worth it right? Or did I have too many drinks?

 

It seems as though it’s missing something important
