updates!!!! did a full tune up on it (plugs, wires, cap, rotor, oil change, air filter, thermostat). needs a rad really bad, and my slave cylinder blew up inside today 120 miles from home so i had to drive the whole way home power shifting, truck sits until i get a new rad and rebuild the slave. also just ordered a new transfercase crossmember mount since mine is worn out. other than that just been driving it alot, put about 800 miles on the motor so far without any real problems, other than it running hot from the radiator being messed up and there being metal shavings in the oil.

 

dont run that sucker hot and pop the head gasket! metal shaving in oil, change oil, every 1000 miles for the first 5000 miles,

 

yea thats why im not driving it till i get a rad, so it will be sitting a couple days till the one i order gets in

 

bought a new slave cylinder and radiator today, damn i love shiney new parts! cant wait to put em in and have it back on the road

 

got my new rad in, stays cool no matter how hard i drive it now! and also fixed my clutch, the slave didnt blow the flare on the end of the line broke off, so all i had to do was reflare it and bleed it and now it works better than before

 

got a new steering wheel put in today and my t handle shifter, feels like a race car everytime i get into it now lol, just wish it had the power of a race car

 

Great few updates, man! Glad to hear it's COOL now! Very important.

Far as the oil? Not trying to disagree with Josh(while I do enjoy doing that for some reason! hahaa... jk Josh, you're a good dude).... Change it at 20 minutes, 1000 miles and then on to regular oil changes... DON'T RUN SYN until you hit 6000 or so.... it's very likely to leak if you don't let the seals REALLLLLLLY SEAT, Rings fully seat, etc., ya know?

Cool on the clutch slave easy fix... Did you return the new one? BTW, isn't that scary when that slave isn't working? hahaha... I was at a street light in SUPER BUSY part of L.A. and the rig started just creeping right into the intersection! ........ EASY fix, and it's worked like a charm since then Not having to pay for a new part cuz it's just a "YOTA-FLUKE"???? PRICELESS!

 

PS> I'm saving up for that "QUICK RELEASE" grant - removable steering wheel! Great deterrent... Nothing stops them totally, as mine got dragged up onto a flatbed tower with the alarm blaring on a busy street! ..... but deterrents never hurt the process, right?

 

What! No pics?... lol, jkin

 

NO YOU'RE NOT! hehe... You want pics just like the rest of us YotaPic's addicts! hehe.

But no, really, it would be cool to see!

 

pics tomorrow, took it wheelin today, and killed my new air filter haha, and damn neat lost my exhaust, 2 out of 3 bolts holting it to the header came out. but pics tomorrow for sure, and hopefully next weekend ill be getting a new bed! thanks rusted!

 

Ha, ha, no problem, I'm just glad its going to someone who could really use it, your doing me a favor by getting it out of my backyard, lol! Plus I'm getting parts I need from you, so it should work out good for us both!

 

and thats the reason id rather exchange parts than money, you need a 10" sub? its just to big for my regular cab, im gonna run two 8's

 

lol trader! lierally

 

I hear ya, I always prefer trading over paying cash, lol, heck yeah I'll take the 10" sub!

 

damn it feels good to be back on here and be driving the yota and wheeling it lol, i thought i loved it before, its a whole new love after you start daily driving it

 

thats how i feel with mine, tons of lookins with no doors!

 

ive been wanting to run no doors, but it hasnt been hot enough

 

update! gapped my new plugs, got my new transfercase mount in, carb rebuilt, and new exhaust gasket in. it has alot more power with the rebuilt carb! also a pic of wheelin last night, thats a buddy's 87 sas'd 4runner

 

Looking good, I like the Hurst shifter,they're comfortable, i had one on my 69' firebird back in the day, lol.
