I think I am good for this weekend. I'll just have to double check. I'll also see if I can get a buddy to come but I think he'll probably flake.

I just picked up my valve cover gasket today, I am planing on doing it after soccer this saterday, and fix a small exhaust leak.

Sick! you should paint your Valve cover while its off! add a little bling to that 400k mile 22re... she sure deserves it. lol

wanna come fix my exhaust while you're at it? lol, i've got swiss cheese exhaust from about the middle of the truck to the tailpipe. i think its time to just outright replace the whole system. somehow smogged up just fine last week - thank god, 'cuz i was a little worried there for a sec (mystery disappearing/burning oil, noisy neglected valves, etc etc).

i don't think i'll be able to make it out with you guys this weekend - gotta go to IKEA and buy a kitchen before everyone goes the weekend after trying to get orders in before promotion ends - besides, i don't think i'd get too far since my Toyo's rub even after cutting (need to just keep cutting i guess)...YAY, more stuff to add to my list of things to do!

paint is not efficant for transferring heat,so no bling. I need to wash the hell out of my engine with all the oil on it now though. Oh and to clue you in, its going on 414K now, lol.

MaK92-4RnR

go get it powdercoated then! lol my budbuilt skid plate was 75 bucks... a valve cover would probably be like 30... or 40

If anyone wants to head down by San Jose me and rma are going to just go for the day. 8:30 San Jose until whenever. So if you wanna go highonpottery you might be able to get those cabinets ordered Sunday.

Ceramics is even less efficient at heat transfer then paint, lol. You are too much into bling my friend. A 7mge is the only bling I need under the hood. When that time comes I can not claim 400k+ miles, which sucks.

chrismcdowell25

go get it wrapped in Nomex and Kevlar then! lol my skid plate was 200 bucks... a valve cover would probably be like 100... or 150

dark_fairytales

all of my bling will be under the tranny tunnel with triple shifters connected to it.

RMA

forget the bling kieth come down saturday lets take a cruise to this mine man..

chrismcdowell25

yeah im a little disappointed in the yotatech crew and their lack of offroading commitment. Me and Robert I guess will be the only ones representing.

RMA

I would be there...if it wasnt for work

I would love to be there, I totally love exploring new places. I have a few obligations I need to take care of at the moment. First of all, for the next nine weeks I have soccer to attend. I know I'm going on 31 and still pay soccer. Its fun playing with a bunch of old farts,lol. This is my first season and I have not played for 16 years. Second I have some maintenance to take care of on my yota and my younger bro's Custom Cab. I have a valve cover gasket to replace on mine. Also have to chase some threads on my exhaust manifold where the flange meets, to fix a small exhaust leak. I have been chasing down the exhaust leak for a while. My bro needs a new carrier bearing and he is having difficulty removing the drive shaft. So he offered too buy me lunch if i do it for him. Sunday I have made plans to meet up with Space-junk to lend him my tranny jack adaptor. Thirdly, I have quite a bit of money to save to be able to afford what I need to fit the dual T-case. Plus, due to the constant threat of layoffs and working for the School district. I am saving to go back to School this fall to start the welding cert. program. I need another trade on top of what I have already earned with Finishing. So I can continue to fund my living and keep my options open. I have been doing a lot of research and welding is really the only industry that is expanding in these down times. Gas prices are not helping either. This weekend is pretty full for me. just make sure you take the time to document your route and what you discover. So all those who can not attend and share with the experience you guys have, will be able to enjoy the pics and vids from the web. wheeling position.
