@Plain Jane Taco

 

Thanks bud

 

Was chatting with Chris this morning on his thread and talked briefly about the old Jeep Gladiator/Honcho. It was based on the original Wagoner from the early 60s through the 80s. Very cool old truck

 

Happy Friday..

 

Cool pictures. Who/where/what did you do for the interior lighting. I’d like to put red lights in the interior of my 2010 Tacoma.

 

@MESO customs (https://mesocustoms.com/) makes the LED lights I've used, and I’m sure he makes Gen2 versions...don’t know if they’re in stock.

 

Hey fellas. Replaced the water pump on my FIL's Dakota today. Not fun.

How is everyone?

 

Doing well so far Thanks . Not doing a water pump. Which is always good

 

Yeah it wasn't fun. Greasy old Dodge engine. Pretty sure I broke my finger in the process. Lots of swelling and bruising from my 2nd knuckle down into my hand

 

Oh Shit!!!

Now that's a new definition of when you said "not fun"!!

Gonna get it checked out l hope.
I banged my thumb once and didn't think much of it at the time. But after the adrenaline wore off. It hurt like a bastard and needed a 3/4 inch SS screw.

 

We'll see. I think it might be fractured....but obviously not completely broken. If that's the case....probably not much could be done. I'll just have to be careful with it. Thankfully I've got a fairly high tolerance to pain.

My fault though. All of my years wrenching on vehicles, I should know the importance of using the right tool. Instead of using the proper fan/clutch removal tool I tried the huge crescent wrench and hammer trick that sometimes works. The wrench needed to be longer. I wacked it with a hammer and the WP pulley slipped on the belt. My finger took a very hard impact between the wrench handle and the alternator pulley.

Needless to say I went and bought the proper removal tools. I needed a set anyway. Was a good time to get it

 

Afternoon folks

 

Good afternoon,
How is the hand?

 

Nice! I feel your pain. I finally got over my bruised palm a few days ago. I was trying to break a loose a frozen cv hub nut and broke my 24 inch breaker bar (with a cheater pipe on it). The vibration and shock from it really lit me up.
