What is your weekend project?

i am installing my "tortis built" transfer case in the morning, and a tach mount that uses the rear view mirror mount, and the trick is to still be able to use the rear view mirror. that should be enough for this weekend, oh, and wait for Djlarroc to post pics of his last coat of paint

1. I am yanking as many parts as I can off of the 90 4runner.

2. I need to take the 93 4runner down to the heads to change the HG's.

Not doing anything this weekend except college homework. Next weekend I'm tinting the windows on my taco, then doing a coolant flush on the 4Runner and probably ordering my body lift from RB.

Bah... You guys have girly weekends planned

This is the thanksgiving long weekend in the great white north, so it's big project weekend!

My plan... We'll see how it goes, is get the whole drivetrain out of my wrote-off 88 4runner (22re / auto) and get em into the 87 4runner (22re - burns more oil than gas / 5spd). And be driving it to work tuesday...

May be a bit ambitious, guess we'll see where we sit on sunday decide if I'm swapping the transmission this weekend, or just the engine...

And of course now it's forcasting snow/rain all weekend - Time to dig out the tarps!

i helped my grandfather every summer on his small ranch, and it seems 50% of that time was building or repairing fence. i miss those days with him, hated the fence building with a passion.

Understatement. It happened Monday morning, went to class then something felt horribly wrong. Ended up in the hospital and under the knife. The good thing is i caught it early, my teachers are super cool, and i am now caught with everything (thanks to my hydraulics teachers for tutoring me for an hour after class today).
