No Problem buddy. I cannot take credit for the Fix since I received my info from Terry awhile back on adding the ground. I am glad that it worked for you. The one thing I hate the most with these vehicles is trouble withe the rear window!! Drives me insane when it does not work properly.

And then when you have to load stuff in through the front doors!!!!!

Glad its working now buddy. Supposed to be in the 70's this weekend!!!

 

The ground wire trick solves a lot of problems with the rear window. We have been having great weather so far, it has been helping getting things done.

 

Solved the issue of mine not working.

It is going to be nice. Hopefully I can try and get some stuff done also.

 

I like the 33's man! I'm also jealous of your dad's truck, i had a 4runner in College that had that same paint job and was almost as clean, i still kick myself for selling that thing...especially when i stare at the growing cancer spots on mine

 

Been there done that as well. So many of these things I should have kept that were rust free.

 

Thanks!! Yea my dads truck is super clean, also has a sweet homemade onboard air setup. The 33s are from Gizler,he hooked me up!!
I have also got rid of some vehicles i really miss..like the 97 dodge3500 dually with the cummins and a 5spd!!

 

I kick myself in the butt for getting rid of a 71 GT Torino fastback and Misty misses her 91 extended cab. Makes you wonder what you were thinking at the time.

 

I miss my cummins too!!

 

I hear that. I almost always regret when I sell a vehicle

 

Anyone have any suggestions on who makes a beefier cv shaft??? I seen EMPI brand on Rocks website. It as the priciest, is that the company that makes VW parts also???

 

Just read your whole build, runner is looking good

 

I just spent the past 5 hours reading your entire build thread, and that is excellent work. Way to keep it cheap! It is awesome to see a rig left for dead come back to life with TLC. Great work, and the runner looks great. I have had my fair share of mice in my buick, ford, and now new 2013 fusion. Not sure where the little prick lives, but he will die...

 

Thanks.Took awhile,and alota beer
Thanks. I try to do things without spending a grip and still be functional and unique. Yea mine sat for years and had alota damage from mice. I hope you find the little prick.

 

I loved the pics of when the mice were getting burned out of the pipes with hot exhaust!! MmmmmwwwwwAaaaaaaaaa

 

Yea mice nests and carcasses were literally spewing a considerable amount of distance out my exhaust. Totally awesomeness

 

LOL, on the hot exhaust eviction of the mouse.

I got the mouse that did the damages to my runner, still seems like he got off easy. One whack and he was a goner. 1000 whacks and I would of felt better.lol

 

Yea that reminds me of a time in the shop when i seen one out of the corner of my eye and it was like instant attack mode and within a matter of seconds i had him cornered and one good whack and it was lights out for the poor fella.

So on that note i was about to order a cv shaft for the passenger side of the runner that is blown out and i realized theyres no difference from side to side on the cvs...DUH.So technically i could use the drivers cv off the 87 im sas'ing??!!

 

Dude! Great idea. Never thought of that one!! Save some dough.

 

So i replaced my destroyed cv tonight.Took 2hrs with simple hand tools and a jack. Wish i had more pics but i was in a hurry. Took the tire n wheel off, lockout,bolt n washer,snap ring, lower ball joint,shock, and swaybar link to get it out. Put the used one out of the 87 in (which looks like it was replaced,fairly decent shape...) and bent 2 of the lockout studs with the brass drift while getting the cone washers out.

 

Nice work buddy. She's all ready to go
