**OHIO WHEELIN' & MEET-UP THREAD**

Expo bound

 

I'll be there tomorrow

 

Easy guys, he didn't specify dead or alive. That's what makes it acceptable versus heinous.


Now go easy Mark, you're treading on thin ice mister!

 

That reminds me of my favorite joke, as heard on Stern.

This child molester has kidnapped a little kid and he's walking him back into the woods. The little kid starts crying and the child molester says to him "what are you crying for?". The kid says "these woods are super dark and creepy and I'm really scared". The child molester says to him: "You insensitive little prick, how do you think I feel? I have to walk out of them alone!"

Eh. Anywhoo.

My diff fluid had no water in it. Now I'm not saying that you don't need to do a diff breather mod but I'm saying that I can't see how water would get in there under any circumstances if it didn't get in there when I crossed the Kokosing River.

Also internal oil filters and the need to drop 2 skid plates to change the oil blow goats.

 

Woah

 

Glad you didnt get any water in there...truck is probably nice and new so the axle seals are still in good shape. Probably shows your breather is doing its job too. It is when that gets mucked up that you get problems. Mine sounded like I opened a beer when I unscrewed the little OEM one...was seized up. That pressure is what will blow out the axle seals eventually. Glad I got around to relocating the breathers when I did.

And yeah, the canister filters were a bad move Toyota. Did you have aftermarket skids? They sell them with access doors nowadays.

 

Yours could look like this too, @bluewaters182

 

Anyone try powder coating at home? I think I'm gunna take it up if I can find a big enough oven for wheels!

 

Bring them up to a guy here in medina. Whoever I refer gets discounts!

Medina Powder Coating

Talk to Dave

 

What price should I be expecting for 4 17" rims?

 

$50-$100 a wheel. Depending on the color. Not sure.

 

If you have never been to the air force museum I highly recommended it.

I will be going back since we only saw about half.

 

I take my boys a couple times a year, they love that place!

 

Received my TW Ohio stickers today. One day turnaround!

 

Anyone want to go for a ride?

 

Everyone! There is an FJ guy joining! Get the spears and pitchforks!!

 

Appears that there are no fitment issues. Is this your setup for SOR?

 

Sure would be a fun place to ride. I had to take it out to wire my in cab stuff. Can't seem to find an ignition switch for the compressor. I'll get back to it in the morning.

 

I did an add-a-circuit under the dash to energize a relay for battery power when I did heated seats. Works well. Would work for your on board air.

 

That's nifty! Going to order that tonight. How'd the heated seat install go? I was going to get them with my clazzios.
