Wyoming B.S. Thread

nice shots! Where were the bears? We kicked up a black bear up on top after you all left.

Ram drivers, who knows haha

Was fun indeed! Simple but fun!

 

Mama grizz and two cubs were in the park. Stood on the roof of the van to get the shot which still isn't that great haha

That's a long haul indeed. I somehow managed to have a tailwind the entire trip. Today's drive seemed to take much longer than it was for whatever reason. Honestly I think the shocks are getting worse, it was bumpy going home, something I didn't notice on the way east. So that's moving up the list of things to sort out sooner than later.

 

If you keep coming with us, yeah you'll need new shocks haha The road up we took without you guys was steeper and rougher than then maybe any of the roads I've done there. Which isn't that much. But you would not have had fun.

Did find 2 more caves though.

 

Holy shit. finally back home. It was 48 and rainy...and ive never been so happy lol. Compared to the 95 and 100% humidity the day we put the boat away, it was such a beautiful relief. It feels like I just woke up from a dream...such a different life then the one I just reentered.

 

Welcome back!

Spring is the best. Cool and rainy evenings.




Hey @BossFoss how confident are you that the transmission I bought from you works?

There's a white double cab Tacoma that just popped up for sale. It's got 232k on it looks very clean trd with a blower on it. But the tranny is blown on it. Because of that, it's only 3800. Thinking I could have a "simple" flip on hand here and make a decent buck.

 

You gonna put the 4cyl diesel A340 behind it?

 

Yeah. Would it work?

 

Uhh, you know I don't know. The ratios are probably different and you'd have to use the VZ bell housing and TC for sure ... Thing is different a340s came with different speed sensors and I'm not sure if any of that is going to be compatible

 

Hmm interesting. I assumed they were all the same. Figured the diffs has the different gearing.

Guess I need to do some reading

 

Granted I got stalled out by the thief in New Zealand but upon tearing the engine down during the rebuild there was nothing out of spec on it so I have no reason to believe the trans was trash

 

Have a 1kz on a stand in the garage with a manual trans if you want to diesely boi swap it

 

Cool!

 

that might be more than I want to do.

Shame you can't get an ECU for it

 

That's the 1kd, it's still in the truck. The 1kz is the predecessor

 

ahhh gotcha. Why'd you get that one?

 

Backup plan, but now with kiddos I just don't see me finding the time. Prob sell everything and just go find another 4door and stuff a manual in it and be happy

 

Yeah understandable. Never enough time.

 

I think of it is a triangle, time, money, and means at the corners. Getting all three to align at once is the hard part. Some of us have the means (garage) and the time, but no money, some have the money and the means but no time. And others have the money and the time but no means(me). Life is cruel that way. It's damn near impossible for all three to align.

 

yeah agreed. Thats a good way to look at it. Sadly.

 

@Reh5108 needs this.
