PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

Wow, sounds like you made his day better!

 

Everyone loves the truck; Amazing what you can do when you've got an old pickup with a killer stereo, several hundred dollars worth of Christmas lights, and entirely too much time on your hands!

 

How did he power them? Cigarette lighter?

 

I honestly cant remember his wiring but do remember him using some sort of clear glue to hold them to the glass.

 

I suppose he could have wired them to battery power..as in AA, 9V, something of the sort..or used a power inverter.

 

You mean she's like my aunt, who has been formally banned from buying nutcrackers?

 

You should see their house this time of the year; She got at least three dozen of the damn things!

 

My cousin would agree!

As soon as we got the engine out of the back of my truck, it started leaking what was obviously a mixture of coolant and oil, which is indicative of a blown head gasket...

 

The timing belt is fine, which is further evidence of a blown head gasket as the root cause...

 

This poor engine really started oozing fluids after we unloaded it...

 

@ColoradoTJ

Look at how rusty the one part is; I strongly suspect water damage...

 

@ColoradoTJ

After talking with a friend who used to be a mechanic, I've determined that the Subaru likely does not have water damage...

 

That's what Gwyn's kid intends to do! I'm trying to get her back on TW, but she's just been so damn busy...
