NW WA Meet / BS Thread

lol the funny part is thats not the issue (mine are new) but you got me to a discussion about how early BPs had a hydraulic "knock" they fixed with a design change

 

If you wanna bring it by, i wouldn't mind taking a look at it

 

I dont have one currently lol. it would be awhile before i need one anyways. Just be a simple one im sure i can find online anyways. Going from an auto to manual

 

hah, well I won't be going anywhere soon. So just let me know

 

Will do. itll be an easy one. ~12"-18" long with m10x1 fittings. Might just end up buying a premade one depending though.

Still have to finish the body and then get it painted before i worry to much though

 

Most m10x1 will work with Toyota fittings. just be ware, that a lot of Toyota inverted flare fittings are especially long so buy accordingly!

 

yeah ive done all the brake lines for the most part already. just the soft line stuff Ive had to source out. The clutch line is the last one Ill need to pick up since itll be a bit different routing than a normal Fj40 for my year (drivers side slave vs passenger side slave)

the eastwood flare tool was the best investment i ever made for brake stuff

 

Check your inner and outer tie rod ends.

 

Theres no play or any issues in the steering and noise doesnt change while wheels are turned.

 

$300 winch mispriced for $83 on Amazon. Go get lewtz.

$300 SmittyBilt XRC 3 3000LB COMP WINCH - SB98203

looks like it's sized for a RZR, quad, or a Yugo.

 

yup. But it's less than a bottle of good scotch. I'm sure someone here can find an illegitimate use for it.

 

to lift an elk into the bed of your truck!

 

Do you hear it when stopped or just moving? One cap could be bad in a u joint on the drive line causing it to have a slight thud and if it was in the certain position you would not be able to tell if you shook it one way.

 

Can pick them up for $160 bucks other places. Still a good deal if you need one though!

 

Buy three of them and you'll have enough power for a Tacoma.

And the price is falling, they're $76 now.

 

It sounds like slack somewhere in the suspension, so the first 1/4" of travel up and down causes something to hit something else. So if i hit a pothole or drive off a curb, theres no noise, but if i drive on I-5 by Boeing field, there is horizontal texture to the pavement and it will rattle with every tiny bump.

 

You take the train in auburn early morning?

 

Does anyone of you with a supercharger have their stock intake laying around? I need one. Just the upper plastic manifold

 

I'll have one after this weekend hopefully. The motor I'm going to look at on Saturday morning shows it included in the picture.
