I dont like the suspense! After finishing mine up, Im excited to see you make some headway!

 

doing some on-line shopping for the best prices:....best 3 sites I've found are NAPA, Auto Parts Warehouse and Rock Auto.....using TOYOTA sites as the highest prices I find or the most difficult to sort....so for these 3 items, Toyota is out....for now.

AISIN Oil Pump
NAPA $122.88
APW $92.95 (savings of $29.93 PLUS FREE shipping)

AISIN Water Pump
NAPA $74.44
APW $60.95 (savings of $13.49 PLUS FREE shipping)

DAYCO Timing Belt / component kit # 9515k1(or "I")
APW $132.11 + free shipping
ROCK AUTO $94.99 + $10.38 shipping = $105.37 (savings of $26.74)

so just by shopping around on those 3 items, I will save $70.16

not bad for clicking around for a while

 

Woot, woot! More Cabbage for other Projects! lol. Not sure on the belts....not really sure on much with the 6. Hope you get all 'GREAT' stuff for those important things. That's amazing for the Aisin Oil Pump.... even 30% off at Toyota Parts Barn, the pump alone is 180$! lol. Fhewwwww lol

Best wishes, man.... I actually think that the way you're doing this, piece by piece in your spare time....it's really LESS suspense IMHO, hahahaha. But I hear 91, ....I'm a lil anxious to see yer Mini Me out in the snow wheelin it around! hahaha.

 

nah....not a chance with this motor being done by then.

i have a mental list of parts to buy, and we are gonna knock'em down.

 

WOOOT! OMS(and thoughtful shopping)FTW!

Didja have a great Thanksgiving with the FAM?

 

yes indeed.....lots to be thankful for as well.

 

cough 3.4 swap cough...
jk... but why aren't you done yet? ha!! more razz..
smart move on shopping around bro.

 

oh jeez....don't get Joe started again......hehehehe

 

If you get the exact part number, amazon is hit or miss with good deals, picked up an O2 sensor dirt cheap, but I went to the denso site first to make sure it was the right one. Gotta like saving money and still getting the good parts.

 

you know me....i'm very OCD and cheap. good combo.

 

Hahaha...3.4 jitters, eh? Jk... My buddy has a rebuilt 3.0 with a lil cam add on and his does really well. Kinda surprised how lil they are thought of on most sites. I guess cuz they have so much less power than the 3.4? Oh, and I guess cuz they're REALLY A PITA TO WORK ON? lol.

good to hear you had a good one and that you're dragging that into the Holiday Weekend with trips to Walmart, etc.! Sounds like fun. I can't even get a hold of my daughters, hahaha.... enjoy it while it lasts, homie! lol.

 

Hiya.

 

dork

 

Jerry, Joe, and Logan. Thanks for the setup, Vitaly, thanks for the CL find. $50 for a set of pioneer wakeboard tower speakers. I thought I might have to make the clamp bigger. I did not. Everything fit easy, and it sounds awesome. And now for the pics.

They are aluminum housings, I might upgrade the speakers down the line, but for now they are great.


Only minus is the clamp is fixed, so they are mounted a little low, but they still clear the rear seat when it's up.

 

cool beans man

 

Freakin sweet!

Nice tread start Jerry and Joe!

 

"tread" start???
In english please.

 

Trend.

 

I see. stupid government computers.

 

Stupid government cameras too, I presume?
