oil change @ 305k, a little secret is to use this oil filter from a 1995 ford taurus 3.0, it has 48% more filter area. with how hard i am on the engine i wanted more filtration
i've been having issues with spark plug wires going bad so i ended up buying NGK wires. theyre a little thicker than the toyota ones i bought when i first purchased lucy, and no more misfire.
got grilles??
i am now running the 99-200 oem grille
prepping for new cv axles, i never knew you were suppose to cut these ridged off until the other week...
im waiting on the 930 porsche boots and i wanted to do some science so i measued both cut and uncut and its a 4 degree difference, from a maximum angle of 26 degrees, to 30 degree angle. is 4 degrees a lot? it doesnt seem like it. i need new boots regardless so i will let you know the differenced of down travel after i get these on
removed diff drop. when i did the custom bumper setup i had to use my jack to bend the skit plate upwards to mount it and i cant do that on the trail so i took the diff drop out and its fine now. it will also provide better lubrication on the pinion bearings now that its pointed down. i need to fix an oil leak coming from one of the hoses of the front differential. im a little stumped on why its throwing so much oil out, hoping i dont have to take it out again and anorther rebuild. time will tell
lastly, i installed turn signal lights into my corner housings. i didnt want to run an external turn signal so i modified this using a dremel, a 1/4" drill bit, and a 5/8 drill bit. i forgot to take pictures of the wiring all cleaned up but it looks factory, and no condensation leaking into the housings
i now have the upper sockets as parking lights, and the bottom sockets used as turn signals. i just brought the turn signal wiring up to the parking light harness
