It's OK. The map was produced in 1955, well before uranium dust is known to cause lung cancer.

The Bancroft mine was decommissioned before you were born: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madawaska_Mine

 

depth of 473m.


spelunking time!

 

And the saints of Boston didn't have the luxury of synthetic winch rope!

 

So found this at princess auto

For those that want a well priced abrasion guard for their synthetic shackles or winch rope this seems to be the best bang for the buck. They have a bunch of different sizes at princess auto. I’m also going to see to run some heavy gauge wire through this as well.

I got this before, but I found it too big and not to be on there all the time. This is only 10 feet for $20

figured if i have a Blueseas system that's meant for boats, why not look into marine-grade stuff for everything else?
looking at you VHF marine antenna mounts

 

Seems to be the same style of nylon stuff. Just nice to be able to find it locally.

 

I'm sourcing parts for diff breather relocate. Send email to order part, get this response

Good day, the part number you supplied does not apply to your 2017 Tacoma. It is for a vacuum union on the intake manifold for a 2004 Tacoma with a 3.4 (you have a 3.5). The part number that you supplied (90404.51319) is $17.25 + tax and would have to come from California and would have to be prepaid and is not returnable.

 

I recall using this guide and i've not had any issues with ordering from UJT...
though it wouldn't surprise me that that part in particular was used in other trucks/ vehicles. IIRC it's the same union off a corolla?

i found another union part number that might work? Toyota Part# 90404-51026 from this guide

check out the comments. Worked for breather mod.

 

GM wins if you trade in. $2k over MSRP is a small investment for them to get you to drink the potion. Then you’ll be paying into their profit machine forever....or till you sell for a big loss.

Ps. Give your boss my resume, I wanna work for Toyota.

 

The both seem to have the same thread but one takes 1/4 hose and the other is 5/16. Not sure how much that even matters for a passive vent.

 

I wouldn’t worry about it. As long it’s not clogged. Just needs to off gas so you don’t blow seals.

 

Trust me, you don't. It's not a fun place to work sometimes.

 

I went rogue and ordered a full airbag setup for my truck, compressor, wireless remote. onboard air and all.

 

That's quite the about-face

 

Thanks to the guy drove by and tipped me off about this thread and gave me some stickers as I was messing around in the back of my truck after work today!

 

what truck did he drive, describe? We need to know the hero, oh and welcome!

 

Welcome! Welcome!

 

Hey look what showed up today!

Judging by the CF badge, my guess is @Manfred

i'm trying to convince him to get out to Ardbeg for October, he's in the middle of moving.
