Looks kinda similar to mine after painting


Great work dude keep it up!

 

Haha...no but its a GREAT conversation starter

Haha! I had to replace my axle. My 22re ripped it in half.

Haha...yeah it does. Great minds think alike Thanks!

 

looks good man!

 

haha i went hoodless for a while about a year ago.. got some weird looks. the best was no doors, no bed, and straight piped, that turned some heads lol. anyways thats really cool you can do a build like that im 17 and i havent even done a head gasket yet

 

lol...thanks! I've done a head gasket too

But its really not that hard...just have to have a good memory of where things go

 

I think someone is in Love with Kirk....

Sin91 is gonna be pissed!

 

91Toyota... for the life of me, I can't remember your real name... may be the rum, whisky or maybe you never told it to us. Who knows and who really cares? You're forever ingrained in my head as the guy who had an engine that ran better after driving encounters that should've blown it up!

Honestly, the only thing I really did was razz you at times, and offer some other things to think about and generally give you a hard time to motivate yourself to do this work for yourself.

As you've learned, engines aren't the most simple things out there, but they really don't have that many things that can go wrong. And you've been through the trials and tribulations associated with doing the work yourself, and with little more than some Internet people squibbling with you, trying to point you in so many different directions I'd be willing to bet your head was about to explode....

And you also had someone by your side helping you with ideas, thoughts and wrenches, so give the most credit where it is due- yourself and your brother.

Your truck seems to be running better and has you feeling far too giddy (in my opinion), and your endorphines are something the next Phantasm sequel should use for a plot/storyline.

Don't let that excitement ruin your newly rebuilt engine. You are in the break-in period of your engine so don't go overboard with what you expose the engine to. Temper your excitement with caution and reservation. If you do too much to it now, it's going to blow again far sooner than it should.

Give yourself, your brother and the truck the respect and treatment you all deserve- the hardest alcohol party you can survive and the love and care your truck deserves.

If all goes well, your truck will be serving you for the next 10 years at least... smiling and giving you smiles as you do that pre-runner type thing you know you want to do... just for a bit more flex and capability.

So where's the 91Toyota's "Hellp me get my 2wd as far up the trails and rocks as it can" thread?

 

she already thinks that anyone that asks me for advice is cute, so I think this'll just make her want to buy me a cake or something else edible.

 

So does that make two of us with Giant egos then?

We should have an ego battle.....a test of knowledge!! lol

 

If thats the case, I'll be putting my money on sin.....thats for sure!!!!!

 

Thank the Goddess that there was no mention of edible unmentionibles for Abe to wear

 

My ego's greatest strength is that of persistance. My mom used to say that I could convince a stop sign it was wrong. That's where all my money goes!Interesting food for thought.

 

Oh no, Abe with a lil freak factor????? Wow. I'm almost speechless......almost!!!

Tell Sin I said "hiya sweetheart!"

It's good to see that she's still keeping you somewhat grounded......

 

Haha...thanks! Actually I'm very easy on her. And getting up the trails is like 2k rpms max spinning the tire. No biggie. I have faith in myself and my truck. I'm not hard on her and never plan to spin the tire on pavement again (like I did before!)

Again I appreciate the help that you've given me.

Oh yeah...my names Trevor
