Lol that's rad! A little different than mine but super cool!
What dash cam did you get? A friend of mine just had a not at fault accident and his insurance company was really good to him because he had dash cam footage, he uploaded it for the police and everything went really smoothly. I'm thinking of getting one.

Definitely an investment. I have the basic G1W-CB. However, I recommend you look for a higher quality dash cam than the one I have.

Went out for a cruise in my best friends TT 300.

Today I started to do a valve adjustment, had everything off the valve cover, then realized it has to be at operating temp. Put it all back on and ran it, then it died out. I searched and researched for an hour and half before I realized that I just ran out of fuel LOL. I'll have to finish it up tomorrow, I have a new PCV and grommet to go in too.

Are you an Ontario guy? I had a lot of interest in it actuallybut haven't found anything that catches my eye to replace it with.

Found this today doing the valve adjustment and PCV. I cleaned it all up, The PCV was a little clogged and messed up. I changed the oil and coolant and took it for a long drive and there was no residue on the oil cap after.

I'm not in Canada, but I found an ad with photos of your truck in a Canadian website, that's the reason of my previous comment:

If you didn't upload that ad, a scammer stole your photos from your build thread.

I saw the ad in that webpage, kijiji, I didn't know you published your 4R. The ad's not available anymore, but you can still see it:

Oh I see, ya I did put it up for sale. Sometimes after the ad is deleted the site leaves them up there. I think it's to show people interested in that make or model what other have sold for in the past. I dont know for sure.

I don't know if I would call it that but thanks. i have only driven it a small amount but I've gotten a ton of compliments and a real people have stopped me to talk about it. So it's pretty cool, that definitely makes me feel good about all the hard work. So thanks.

Still a few things to work out it has a pretty nasty wobble around 90km/h and up. Also the charge and brake lights are on together, I can't figure out why, the alternator is charging I think, I've swapped the wiring harness and alternator, but same issue. I read somewhere it could possibly be emissions or something related. I think the 88 had a 4wire o2 mounted under the driver whereas this header has a one wire mounted up in the bay.

My 89 is white like yours is now, and looking at yours has prompted me to go ahead and start tackling some very minor rust that is starting to show itself! I have something else in mind for mine, but I do dig your stripes too

Trying to find a set of 36s to complete the truck, I'll probably get some steel soft 8s too. I sold my other set of 36's and these are for sale too.

Bought a pop up and lifted it, just waiting on my 14” rims and bigger tires for it.

Going to pick up these tonight. Hopefully they’re good!
