I F’d Up

Yeah I did! Just grateful I didn’t hydro lock it!

 

OP: Do you have a rear diff breather relocate?

 

Nope. Sadly. I will be doing that soon. Was talking to a friend about this last night and he sent me a link to a post here on how to build one. Gonna be my next project.

 

Yep. I got me one of those, but the set I got on Amazon has both plastic and metal tools for removing all types of clips and things. Used them to change out the bumper caps, pull the dash speaker grilles, A-Pillars and other things to install my footwell LEDs...

I tend to break the plastic tools, I always use them for things they aren't meant for and unsurprisingly they break. I stopped replacing them.

 

Unsurprisingly

 

ya, its prybar shaped, of course I can use it instead of my 1/2 wide steel prybar.

 

Totally guilty of doing this!

 

This is what I use for auto clips and all sorts of other tasks where metal pry tools will leave marks/gouges/scratches. Best cheap tool purchase ever.

 

Bought that one as well. Came in clutch today for removing b-pillar panels.

 

Well, day three. The entire interior is out and drying. This is the point where I wish had some money stashed to accomplish a few tasks that would be easily done with the seats and interior out like comms, running power to the back of the center console as well as running some Dynamat throughout. That’s for another day I suppose.

 

While things are drying you probably should check your rear diff fluid to make sure it didn't get any water in it. The , supposed to be, one way check valve doesn't always work just one way. I've seen a few times where they didn't.

 

I second the need to sanitize and get some damprid - I had water issues (open windows during a monsoon) with my Jetta and was battling mold growth for years afterwards.

 

Cut a hole through the fire wall and run power for a subwoofer. It will never be easier.

 

I’ll have to crawl under there and give it a look. Thanks for reminding me. I need to also get the parts to run a rear breather.

 

I’ve got four things of damp rid in there now with the ozone generator. It’s helped considerably.

 

me too

 

You, have been busy. Looks like you're doing it just about right now. I second the other poster, it would be a good time to run a full-time power to the armrest console-or whereever.

 

I wish I had everything to run antenna wiring as well. But I do t have the parts and I want my truck back. Was supposed to go camping this weekend. I will be ready for next weeks camping though for sure as it’s the Appalachian Toyota Roundup. And it’s an hour from my house so I have to go!

 

I forgot to post this, but Monday around 2 PM the truck was back together and dry. Fired right up and feels nice to have it back together. Really need to clean the floor mats.
