rkntoy's Oil Changes and Broken Things

Lookin good Steve!
I bet those springs handle the weight much nicer. Am I gonna have to come out and weld those PCK brackets on myself or what?!

I will get there - they are on the list. Really on the list now with the height increase.

But you can come over any time. I could save it as a project for you...
 
Those look great. I'm sure they'll perform equally as well. Thanks for that side shot it gives me a really good idea of the amount of tubbing I'll have to do to clear 37's.

Did you relocate the ADD canister?

Oh, and weld up the damn PCK already. lol

Dang - tough crowd today. I need to stop traveling so much for work and get some things done.

I am not done cutting yet as the BFGs were baby 37s. Going to be cutting the fronts and backs a bit more before I throw the cut down SR5 flares on.

My tire has been relocating the canister and polishing it for me. I need to figure out a good spot for it.

And I may figure out a washer fluid reservoir at the same time. Until then I just carry a 1L bottle of water to splash across the windshield. I have learned the maximum speed that you can be traveling to accomplish this without having it blow back in the window.

Just get the Sonora Steel washer bottle relocate kit. It was about 80 bucks and takes less than an hour to do.

I looked at that. Wonder why they say 3.4 engine only.

Hmmm...is it worth $85 plus shipping to get rid of my 1L bottle.

Says at the bottom of the page that it won't fit 2.7's. Our airbox position is a little different.

I saw that down there. Just wondering what is so different.

Oh well - I have a Dorman universal overflow tank I was going to use. But with all these people flipping me sh__ about not having my PCK brackets welded up I will probably do that first.

Once you do it, you'll understand why you're gettin shít for it.
Maybe you could use a 3.4 air box on your 2.7...

I am pretty sure that when I remove one thing I am catching sh__ over it will just be replaced with something new. I am choosing to see these as signs of affection from my T4R friends. I love all of you!

I am going to try my $14 fix before surrendering to an $85+ fix.

First ,I forgot you had a 4 banger so disregard the SS kit I linked.

Second, you'll realize how awesome we are for giving you shit about installing the PCK as soon as you drive it. It's really is that good. I'm just looking out for an internet buddy. lol
 
Got the RTT mounts done so I can WELD UP MY PCK MOUNTS next.

Trying to decide if I make a nice bar to prop the tent up when accessing the storage underneath. The piece of wood is sort of growing on me.

Dude, those tires are huge!
I love how you built the mounts to be able to access storage under your RTT. Nice work, as always [emoji1360]

They are definitely not BFG "37s". Not sure what measuring system BFG uses.

And helping them look bigger is the wheels are 9" wide instead of 8". Same BS as I still want to swap back and forth with my highway tires.

Being a mazda fan, I'm really curious to see your seats installed and I tried looking to see if you had a thread dedicated to them but didn't... Care to share any info on what you needed to get them in and what you got them from?
 


Not really. That's supposed to be welded. :behindsofa:


Nice work man. Let us know when you get a chance to drive it after the PCK. I'm gonna bet you will notice a big difference in handling. Dirt roads in particular felt much more controlled without my ass end hopping all over.

They definitely are my favorite seats ever. Let me see if I can round up some pics.

Haaa!

And I got the vacuum canister relocated in between coats of paint.

Way to leave a guy hanging man. Pics and a write-up for the less then mechanically inclined would be great. lol

Have you considered a V6 swap as the next mod?:behindsofa:
Love my 4 banger. And no timing belts to worry about.

Here is my relocation photo. I just moved the mounting on the inner fender up to an existing hole (you can see where the Old hole is) and bent the brackets to tuck it in the corner. The mount on the core support stayed in the same spot.
