Wyoming B.S. Thread

Gross. I've been buying "OEM" filters for quite a few years on Amazon, to include Toyota and other brands...

 

lol so many timing belt kits are fucked I'd bet haha

Probably Ben's noise problem actually..

 

I wouldn't automatically assume everything from eBay is fake.

That aircabinman has been selling those kits for a long time.

 

Wonder if the Walmart Toyota filters are real

 

maybe so. Who knows. Im sure plenty of people have purchased other kits though.

 

well that's a red flag.

Guessing the only way to really know is buy both and compare.

 

OTRE-LBJ castle nut is 22mm.

 

Alternator pulley bolt, that's all I can think of tho

 

That way you can round it off in an emergency

 

IIRC, one of the nuts on the steering rack too.

Oh, that'a nice and light. How many wrenches and sockets does it take to equal the weight that.

 

Ooh, this thing fits better than I could have hoped

 

looks pretty good!

 

Thanks, I'm super happy with it. Easiest bumper to install I've had so far, every hole lined up exactly and the top plate is cut appropriate for a 95-97 front end, unlike the relentless which left a shitload of open top space cause it was designed with later front ends in mind

 

yeah for sure.

Was it just a local one off? I can't remember even though I know I've asked you.

 

Yeah they're manufactured locally for a little shop in Clarkston (the town in WA that you have to get to through Lewiston, ID). So not really a one off, just low production I'd suspect. He has plenty in stock, but as far as he knows he's the only one that retails them.

 

Nice. Looks good.

 

Alrighty. Drove Igor to Billings today. Scan gauge supposedly works now...but maybe not?

I never saw my tranny get over 120° while moving on the highway. And in town never went above 136-140 maybe.

So either my cooler works way freaking better than it should..or something is up.

 

Your cooler may work really well. I have a massive stock cooler on the cruiser and on a regular winter day I'm not likely to get over 140 unless I'm towing.

 

Crazy.

I mean it's not huge but not small. Can't remember the exact size. But think it's the same one most people run.

Engine was reporting 190 the entire time. Which seems low too.

 

190 seems right for the engine. I'm at 189 nearly all the time.
