interesting um paint on that one.. 1500 high desert

 

Hahaha...

Lottery? Hmmmmmmm,

1. Unimog

2. KILLER Trailer(or maybe BUS Camper)

3. Mibach or S600

4. BMW S1000RR....

5. XL600R or XL600L



MAN I miss that bike!^^^

And, well, let's just put it this way... I would have AT LEAST a TTSupra.... and WOULD NOT sell my rig... It would be ENVIABLE, however, and I would finish it myself. Could then hire a private welding trainer to come here and set me all up... He would be one of the best, of course... and then when I finished it... I would spend MUCH of my time shipping it all over the place and then following it to whatever that months adventure bug might take me! hahaha. Then again... wouldn't stink to have the Unimog waiting, wherever I was heading, right? haha.

 

my dad had a bus motor home i think it was an 04 his widow had to mark it down majorly due to calif's desil smog laws they enacted but she did get it sold they'd go up places an camp in style for the entire summer

unimog nah duce in half
rear converted into camper with slide outs 6x6 burn nearly any fuel parts as common as the cold LOL

not much into dirt bikes but three wheelers a good 200M just for durability an use simple engine easy to fix a quad meh just makes more parts to complicate things

money no object? baguti vayron all the go anyone could ever want an street legal too needs its own fuel truck to follow along LOL

 

looking at new bare heads from ebay for my 88 didnt want to but whats a dragon to do..

got an issue with the 90 v6 has a new battery at idle its fine rev the engine go for a drive the alt gauge pegs an the battery light comes on anyone got an idea whats gone wrong now?

 

Not that I would know either way, but am assumimg you mean the alt is pegging charge
charged and not discharged?

I am sure oneday I will be needing to buy a new head, would be intrested to see what they improved on those ones.

Drove the duece and half many a times. I always like those trucks and the little whistle they had when running. I am sure glad I didnt have to drive them on unimproved roads or when I was over seas. I have a whole new appreciation for blacktop now. Those trucks would of beaten us to death, but they were fun for offroad use recreation. They were a very basic truck and just wouldnt quit.

Seen you speaking of 3 wheelers. I really would like to have an 86 or so model of the Honda 250R 3 wheeler. I had one and had it beefed up all the way. Quick!!! What I would give to have another one. I like them better then 4 wheelers.

 

its pegging out charge but the light is coming on as well

quoting the fleabay listing
These heads have been improved over OEM Toyota heads in both Materials and Casting procedures.

The cooling passages have been re-engineered to carry more heat away from the clylinders.

The intake and exhaust ports have been smoothed to allow for better air flow, resuilting in more horsepower and better fuel efficiency

These heads come with new valve guides and seats.

THE SEATS ARE ALREADY GROUND TO TOYOTA SPECIFICATIONS SO WHEN YOU INSTALL NEW VALVES YOU ONLY NEED TO GRIND THE VALVES TO SPEC

THESE HEADS ARE MADE IN JAPAN AND ARE MUCH BETTER THAN MOST UNITS MADE IN CHINA AND INDIA


i got to drive one around a sheep ranch in the canyons of central calif the owner had installed a seat out of a suburban much better on the rear end LOL

we have a 200m ive had in the past a 180 an 200 out in the barn we have a 110 an the frame for a 3wheel sand racer kris had a 250x an it was too much speed for utility work an the PO had bent the rear axle kris traded it for the 200m

 

well the 90 needed a new alternator the voltage regulator died an the rebuild kit here was more than the re-manufactured from the parts store ahh but i called the junk yard they'd just gotten a v6 toyota truck in an yanked the alt off her 40 bucks winwin

past week its been below freezing constantly today it actually got kind warm its 23 degrees not 12 -18in the day an 4-7 at night positively global warming around here lol

hope everyone had a good new years

 

well i bought that new head 190 bucks shipped looking at 120 for a full valve job to fit mine to the head with the springs a such

glad its too cold to do any painting right now

 

This cold weather is for the birds, we arent as cold as you are, but still when it is cold, it makes working on trucks miserable. I feel the same way, once you hit a certain amount on a head you are much better off just going new. Maybe you will get a warm streak like we are to get soon. I am going to try and make the most of it.

 

Hey man just checking in, sorry to hear the weather is holding you up but it is that time of year.

 

hey terry yep! we did its 33 right now short sleeves weather is here ... :-D

JASON! its okay i got put back on the wound vac the hole in my foot is still not healed so i can really do much right now anyhow

 

Short sleeve weather at 33degrees. Wow you guys are crazy lol. Id be caught seen with thermals, beanie ans my snowboarding jacket if it were that cold over here lol

 

its funny redeth if you live in an area where it gets really cold like this you get used to it least i have i sleep all winter and summer with a fan blowing my room in the north west corner of the upstairs gets the coldest an i enjoy it cant stand being too hot likely from living an working in houstons 99+ weather with its 99% humidity swiming while walking LOL

 

LOL...You are right, when it gets below zero, 32 degrees feels like a heat wave. I have even been in shorts when it warms up to 32. I was working in 55 degree weather yesterday and it felt great.

When I was in Iraq and temps were 140 and then get down to 100 I was cold, it got to 90 I was shivering.

Your foot and my dry socket I wonder if they are ever going to heal. 2 surgeries and I still will be going to have another one again soon.grrr

 

your tooth still hasnt closed? oh man terry they need to get that fixed

doc was looking at mine after the home care nurse found a problem a 1cm wide tunnel under the skin about 2.5cm long doc thinks it was a fluid filled pocket that popped hoping its why the hole wouldnt close

im past the point of hoping grasping at straws i just wish skin was repairable like metal

 

got an email while nurse was changing my wound vac parts

At the request of Japan Racing Products, this notice is to confirm that the following shipment has been delivered.Number of Packages: 1
UPS Service: GROUND
Weight: 15.0 LBS

yessir parts have arrived my new cylinder head have to wait a bit to get it to the machine shop for the valves an ect but its here

 

Wahoo!!! parts, that is always nice to have. Maybe the weather will warm up for you. My tooth has been a never ending deal. Driving back from surgery afterwards has always been something else to deal with afterwards. Got the wife taking me this time.

 

i couldnt resist i had to look! oooh very pretty and! the ports are indeed smoother than the originals the big lumps near the valves that cut into the airflow are not present very nice finish as well



closeup of the #4 cyl ports looks very good if i had to say (i dont have my old one aroundits at the machine shop) but this head feels heavier better materials more durable? i hope so!

 

well terry i hope this time they get it shut for good!
im 'technically' not allowed to drive with the wound vac on but the lady of the house has to travel to billings MT for work no one else here is able or willing to drive her to the truck stop where shes to meet the bus their taking to the work area so early as BLEEP sunday i have to go with her to bring the 90 runner back home im not an she agrees not leaving our truck sitting at a truckstop for over a day

 

well doctor is experimenting with the hole in my foot using a product called "matristem" its a protein structure that causes the bodys own stem cells to head for the application site to help heal wounds
information on it

past days have been nothing but issues
hydrant out to the horses froze we replaced the damaged hydrant an the pipe was froze kris used the welder to warm the entire pipe an that did the trick then 2 days later somethings leaking underground we cant fix it right now but its bubbling water up into the paddock 50 yr old pipes an plumbing no one thought to put a shutoff valve on the line cut off the water no water to the house either

an the dept of the treasury has decided to take part of my social security to pay a school loan form 7 years ago they would never accept i was disabled so its been one of those things you dont want to listen to the doctors im done talking to you

now they're wanting to take much as they can leaving me with no less than 750 a month to keep a roof n food since many in the house are without jobs mine an kris money are all we have coming in

told kris take my head to the shop monday since im likely to have nothing for months to come best to get that done before i cant im going to call them see what can be done to stave off this stupidity which if its done will leave us behind on the mortgage no house repairs less food an worst case ... i dont want to think about worst case
