16yrs old.

actually, he says he wants to get a different vehicle to drive , as this one will be so valuable because of the work we've done. i don't blame him. he can buy whatever he wants...i'm not buying a thing and he knows it. he bought this...he can buy something else....or not.

 

hehehe...beer me

 

 

hahahaha....it's been one of those weeks where i won't have even 1 because i should really have about a thousand.

 

i can understand him wanting to get another car but man i would love to have a sweet 1st gen runner like that. lol

 

thanks....oh, the 4runner stays, he means it's too nice for someone to damage it. getting scratches and dents yourself is one thing, having it done for you, not so cool.

 

Hey, while that motor's out, why not toss in a "while it's being built over the next year" 1UZ in it? HEHEHE. .... Jk, ....this will surely be lots faster since you've learned so much..(although, you did say "weekend project", right? haha) But yeah,.....he's determined and will be lending a hand quite a bit, i'm sure.

How's school, homie?

 

school going well.

no swaps. gonna just rebuild the old one.

1st official day off (wife at work, kids at school) since June....so gonna see what gets done tomorrow.

 

ummmmm.....

???roach clip???

 

soooooooo.......

working the next 3 days. so i told Joe we would go out and struggle with those 3 nuts connecting the exhaust to the down pipe. evil as they are and as high up as they are i still got them.

was not without it's casualties though.......

those 3 nuts waaaaaay up there....



1st victim



and now there are 2 victims....yes, i broke 2. OLD MAN STRENGTH in action....hehehehe



that's it for tonight.

told Joe he has to find out how to undo this transmission and tell me. so if anyone has any advice for him / us, please tell.

 

Yes, I do.... walk out there and SCREAM, ''GET THE HECK OUTTA THERE''... should do it, no problem. Worked for me! OH wait, ...that was not a 3.0...nevermind! lol

Sweet, Jerry.... hope it all starts coming out quickly on a couple days you have to spend on it.

PS> I have a buddy that has done around 10 of those, I believe.... I will have a talk with him and see if you guys can shoot the breeze on occasion, ....you know, just so you can 'ENTER' into this feeling a lil more "I GOT THIS, NOOOOOOOOO problemo".. Can't promise anything, except for one....If he DOES have time to chat with ya on it.... HE WILL be helpful! lol...

L8r t8rs,

Mark

 

thanks Chef.....

 

hey jerry, try looking for a long impact extension. http://www.lowes.com/pd_95614-70-PTA...ension$y=0$x=0

 

looks good^^^^.
yes....for that specific job you really should have a substantial extension (1/2'') and proper length (about 18'').

 

and the fact one made for an impact gun even at 3/8" is stronger because they are hardened as well. if you can't get them off, I'll give it a shot when I come down there next weekend to work on brian's truck.

 

no the nuts are off......old man strength prevailed...

 

what you dropped your nuts trying to get them off?

 

hehehehe

 

Another piece done and more to come I see.
