Thanks Mark!! Yea davidallencoe was suppost to be on KC last thursday night but got into a auto accident so it was cancelled til july.

Anyways the shop manager where my brother works turned me onto this guy who does suspension and alignments at his own shop only 18mi away so im gonna give him a call and see what he says.

 

That's great man! Hopefully he can hook you up

 

I put one of these wheel spacers on and it allows the sr5 wheel with the 17s to clear but doesent seem like it allows enough wheel stud to grab now with the lugs...only about three revolutions and theyre getting tight.hmmmmmm??





This is the difference in the holes on the swaybar drop and the factory holes on the frame



this is that allenhead LONG bolt in the intake i destroyed removing it on disassembly


Id never seen one of these bands by the factory hose clamp, weird.

amd the wiring i have to fix thanks to some mice

 

I bet if you would get the lug nuts that have a long shaft with washer on them, those would work. It would allow for the longer shaft to down in the spacer. Plus that looks like the kind of lug those sr5 rims take.

I always replace that stupid allen head bolt with a Hex head. I dont think that I have ever taken one off that didnt get trashed in the process.

Those band clamps are sketchy. I have them on my 85 as well. I have been slowly replacing them as I am afraid they will fail when I am unprepared.

 

Ha your right on the lugs!!i have some too, i will try them.Yea all the factory clamps will be replaced.

 

Yeah man those clamps are scary. I had a few disintegrate in my hands when I was flushing out my heater core.

 

i wouldnt use those wheel spacers.... the better ones to use are the ones with holes for the existing studs to and new studs to go to the wheel..... other than that keep up the good work

 

Dont forget to clean out the fingernail....hate to see you lose a finger an not be able to push the button on your gear shift...

 

Had time to do a few things on the runner. Found out my radiator that came with the runner (with tranny cooler)has a huge hole on the bottom of the lower outlet. Found 2 other radiators(for man trans of course)one has plastic tanks that was out of a 90s truck that the lower mount holes didnt line up on the radiator support so i used the other one which fit great. I will also transfer the auto shroud over.

Did some solder/heatshrink electrical on the harness and reinstalled that with the ecm.I dabbed a little dielectric grease on the harness plugs. Also fixed a harness connector that i pulled the terminals out of.

Still need to send off the injectors and then i install the upper intake, also need to use one of the three tps's and install on the throttle body.

 

Looking good Chris!! Let me know if you want my radiator. I'll swap if out for the other manual that I have.

Your interior looks good from what I can see in the pics.

 

The interior is in great shape but its dreaded RED!!!!! ahhhhhhhh freddy krueger $hi%!!

Ill trade you my good one from a manual for the auto if that sounds good??otherwise ill run a external cooler.

 

Feddy Krueger Red. hahaha Thats some funny stuff.

Ill try to pull it out this week if you want. It will give me an excuse to flush out my coolant. Ill check it out tomorrow and make sure the trans cooler does not leak or anything.

 

Thad work out great. Where shold i snd my injectors too for testing?? I have the cash to sendem so i wanna do it so i can finish my upper intake and harness too!!Im ready to hear this ol girl come to life!!!

 

Seems like everyone sends them out to witchhunter and have good results with him. Thats where I will most likely send mine when the time comes for the new motor.

 

Hey bro, dunno if you got the spacer problem fixed. but i do know (like on my truck.) that the wheel spacers have extra lugs. so you put in the spacer and you use your nuts to bolt it down and the spacer should have 6 more bolts on that. which means you dont use your current studs to mount on your tire. Then again that spacer you have looks small. i do know that one the 1.5" ones to like the 3" ones that i used they do have that set up.

 

Cool, i will check out witchhunter, today is a great day to be inside and mess around in the house. Cold and raining, and im out of firewood for the stove, so no heat. Plus all the wood lying around my house from dead trees is WET!

 

Redeth005, the spacers i have are only 3/8 wide and are not the style your describing. These simply fit between and you still use your existing wheel studs to attach the wheel. I can make these work by using a different style of lugnut.It did give me the clearance i needed but i really dont like using spacers.

 

Witchhunter says they will be not accepting orders due to moving to a new location which address in disclosed and they have plenty of work to keep them busy in the meantime.Not allowing any shipments from april 29-may 11th. Guess ill have to wait or go somewhere else. I gots da money son!

 

That stinks, We will just have to find another place for ya. If your anything like me, Ill end up spending the money on something else. So ill look for more places. haha

 

ahh ok gotcha.
