Thanks Hey You, I am way down here!

Thank Wildman,
These are two of the ones I found and they are also on car-parts.com. Its actually a good website, its where I found my axles. The one you found in mesquite is $100 cheaper but the advantage of one of these is no shipping or driving to get it costs and with the way things work in El Paso, I can probably haggle them down to three shinny one hundred dollar bills. Cold cash talks!

Replaced the driver side balljoints.

 

I re-built my alternator using a Victory Lap kit. My alternator needed new bearings, and Victory Lap was the answer.

 

ruh roh Corbo!!!



I towed my buds FJ40 to it's new home. Kept it below 55mph, also because that's the law here. Yes, I removed the spare tire for visibility. We also picked up the magnetic trailer lights to put on. It's a tow bar that was already part of the Fj40s bumper. Tranny and Tcase all put into Neutral. Tires inflated for better rolling resistance.

It towed pretty easily. Only thing I felt was the occasional tug from hitting expansion gaps or similar. Went up I80, which has some decent grades to go up and no issues. Drives as if there wasn't a 3 link.

 

Hey you can still truck things! Like towing!


Good for you

 

Spark plugs, wires, rotor button, distributer cap they have me was broken and my current one looked fine
Also broke a couple more vacuum lines that I'm not worried about right now but there was a big one that went to the front of the throttle body and I have no clue what it does is called or where to get a replacement for it

 

IIRC the only vacuum line that goes to the front of the throttle body is the MAP sensor vacuum line. Pretty important lol.

 

Replaced my rear ds u joint at the axle.

Also got some much better mystik jt-6 grease to use on them. Instead of the random junk I had been using.


It also meets all the Spicer requirements if you use those joints.

Also. Almost every u joint is just packed with enough grease for shipping. So always 're pack them. The packaging will tell you this. Or the online info. And it just makes sense.

 

Drove it work today on the expressway.

 

Installed the Gibson headers that have been taking up space in the shed for 3+ years. That job was an epic pain in the posterior. Noticed a little more responsiveness from the skinny pedal on a really short test drive, nothing huge. I have a new cat and muffler that I need to install after the first of the year, so I'll reserve my full opinion until then. Fixed a leak at the water pump which I hope is the cause of my mystery coolant loss. I also found a wiring harness on a government auction site that will allow me to toss my NV3500 and replace it with a GM turbo encabulator. I expect to see mad gains in hp, bhp, whp, phd, and wtf from that particular mod.
