The BS Daycare but no build thread

hahaha this is awesome, should get one of these



ugh now I'm hungry

 

Replaced my limit straps with new Slee stainless steel lines



The old



Front driver



Front passenger



Rear center



Haven't driven it in about 2 weeks so no rush to bleed it. Once I do though it'll be a quick job with the use of this pneumatic bleed/refill system

 

The pneumatic is great, can do a 15 minute brake bleed solo

 

did it have the right cap for the reservoir?

 

It works with even the old GM-style rectangular openings.

It just sort of clamps to the reservoir



Chose it based on the many great reviews, not to mention videos I've seen.

 

Looking forward to it since it's also meant to suck out the old stuff from your system too.

Will be doing a complete flush.

Even though I've got this bad boy up for trade, I'm still taking care of it as needed.

For the past few weeks my driver side window has had an issue with going up, at first it was slow, then altogether not at all.

Common issue with these is, after +20 years the channel run needs to be replaced. Makes sense being rubber and all.

Anyway, door panel has to come off.



Once that's out of the way, only two 10mm bolts hold the window to the regulator.



The old channel run pulled, and the new one ready to go on.



Super easy, just a few things to note. It is imperative you get this corner tucked up as far in as possible; no gaps!



And the other thing is, you want the lip of the run to sit out onto the door frame.



Why did we remove the glass? Cause the channel run goes down the track which runs the height of the door.



Also gave me an opportunity to clean this track.



After all was said and done, my window refused to go up. Further digging told me that even though the window motor powered up fine and ran the window down, it didn't have the torque to push the window up again.

With an old motor and regulator, I didn't want to just replace the motor so I bought a Dorman kit.

Here's the old next to the new; only held in by six 10mm bolts and an easy to do job.



And all good to go now!

 

Barter?

 

For?

 

Lol, what are you looking to trade it for? A tacoma? Another 4r?

 

Tacoma, 4x4, V6

Wanting to do a regular cab build

 

Do a 4dr. Don't be like me who spend a shit ton of money on a regular cab (my 1983 22ret swap and bar'd toyota pick up) and realized I can only take 1 of my 2 kids out at the time. Than next I know, the wife and kids want to go too and forced to sell it at a lost. That's how I end up with a 4 door. Haha

 

V6 swap? I thought the regular cabs only came with the 4-cylinder?

 

Regular cab 4x4 come in either a 3RZ or 5VZ.

 

True but my wife doesn't do wheeling, she loves going outdoors and all instead so I'll have another truck for that now. That was the main reason for the LC originally.

 

The v6 was offered in the regular cab for the first 2-ish years, 1999.5 - 1997. They are hard to find now though compared to the 4cyl

 

Worst case I find an extended cab I like and I learn to do body work by bobbing the bed.

 

u like them shorties huh

 

Don't want that shit hanging out the rear
