Was watching that fire (Sand) from Gorman. It capped out twice within an hour. Thats some impressive fire behavior.

It's been snowing all day but not the good kind.

That is not the moon.

It looks like I put a yellow filter on the camera for effect.

the only good thing out of this is it kept the temperature to 99 degrees.

Just dropped off my 4runner at Japanese Car Specialties :')

Hahaha. I have full custody of my son and his mom has visitation on Sundays so that's my only kid free day during the week. Otherwise I'm full time single dad.

Oh well in that case you deserve more than Sunday off... That's tough and hats off to you

Took it to Azusa OHV yesterday and came out with my rear brake line leaking, looks like it got cut open in the middle of it :doh:

Also some other issues it has.. has a trouble code 31, super stiff gas pedal, creaky clutch pedal, a tiny oil leak, and another small leak on the front :sobbing:

I saw some reviews on that place on here in the Socal Shop thread, so I figure she's in good hands. :banana:

Thanks. At this point, I'll get the time off eventually when he's old enough to take care of himself in another 6 or 7 years. I'd give his mom every other weekend, but she still hasn't quite gotten her shit together yet, and I can't trust him being safe there over night.

That's crazy man, sorry you have to deal with that.. Everyone has their own set of challenges and all but when you have an unreliable partner or even xpartner, it's not cool... Thank you for taking care of your kid, your community and society appreciates your efforts!

Yeah them or yotamasters are pretty solid choices..I'm interested to know how much it will be for odds and end fixes like those. Did they give you a rough quote?

They didn't give me a rough quote (they'll call me later or tomorrow morning), turns out there's a few other things.. but this is what they found:

- Throttle Cable needs to be replaced
- Clutch Pedal Bracket is cracked
- Panhard Bar Bushing is cracked
- Steering Box has a leak and needs to be replaced
- Oil Cooler O-Ring needs to be replaced
- Shifter Bushing needs to be replaced
- Rear Brake Line ripped open, needs to be relocated
- Some bracket thing for the lift that was done cracked and needs to be welded
- Transmission has a small leak

:noidea:

You're in good hands there for sure! They have done lots of work for my family and me over the past many many years. Wendy works in the office and is very knowledgable. John is the master of all things automotive. He has helped me solve many issues on and off road via phone call and I bring the truck into them for all my repairs. The previous owner of my 4Runner used their shop as well since '96. I'm running strong at 374,000 miles. [emoji1303]

Good to hear! Dang that's a lot of miles! Hopefully it won't take too long to get my baby back :')

 

[Drunner97]

Did my LCAs, got an alignment, I'm rubbing worse than ever now in the front. Either my old LCAs were completely beat, or dude did a really shitty job on that alignment, because I'm well within spec now. Guess it's time to bust out the dremel after work.

Rear OEM E-locker conversion.... done. I will even help you out on your first step towards this as a new rig warming gift...a new factory oem rear diff switch I have. .your first piece to greatness.
Congrats on your new 2wd rig/project.

Sorry for the late reply I was out of town all last week! My boyfriend has an Aussie locker that he was going to put on his T4R but he decided not to. Might just put it in mine haha, but we have lots of time. Not going to be registered until September (it's non-op'ed now) and I don't HAVE to drive it until desert season and it's only going to be around local stuff, not going to Glamis or anything haha and thank you! She's definitely a project.

Well maybe it's good I missed the run Saturday. Driving from Imperial to Provo, my low voltage light came on right outside St. George. This was all that was left of my alternator belt. Much easier to fix at my uncle's in St. George than on a

I've got 113k on my serp belt and I've been driving around with my spare for the last two weeks just in case, haha. I need to get that swapped before it snaps so I can keep it as an emergency spare.

so whats the deal with exhaust in CA, I thought you couldn't touch it? what can you get away with and how does it pass emissions testing?
