I received the mounts. Pictures posted.
Monday or Tuesday I’ll weld them in place. Hopefully……

Those will weld right on. Just take a little time.

I am curious how that holds up. That is supposed to be a good product. Keep us posted.

Solid looking beads man, looks sharp and will hopefully keep her on the road a while longer. Probably performs better too having the shocks a little more outboard. Also makes it much easier to get that nut threaded on the top stud.

This. This is awesome. I love seeing outboarded shock mounts on our rigs. So much easier to work with when swapping shocks in and out.

I noticed a ride difference but can’t explain it. Inspection runs out today and I managed to set the readiness monitors with only local driving. My appointment is next Thursday.

So the inspection is done and I do like the ride difference. My Gabriel’s are a little on the firm side and it seems more controlled over shutter bumps.

Well the seal is sealing and I have a dry brake drum for the first time since I bought this project.
Edit: it was a seal from napa.

Napa has decent aftermarket parts compared to must autobody store.

I got a timing belt kit from “The timing belt company” and the Toyota crank seal I seated with my thumb. Needless to say out it came and I went to napa for the cam and crank seals.

For timing belt etc. I mostly buy the kits the one ebay seller sales that's recommended on here. I have bought 3 so far. Zero issues with any on the seals. Always for perfectly and all parts were oem ans asin supplier.

The seals I put in the trash are OEM Toyota. Other than the seals, the company I used (three times now) with all koyo Asin and Toyota parts have been of high quality.

My drawer of leftover YotaShop Head Replacement kits. Three or four of them, I lost count…..
Anybody not using their kit when removing heads or rebuilding their engine is loosing out on a very exclusive kit.
