Hahahhaa.....

EASY PEASY! Go to "Youtube.com", get an account. After you sign in, go to "Upload Videos", click on the video you want to upload from your puter, then click on "OPEN", then in about 20 seconds, you'll be done! lol. Then, just right click on the "URL" link in the page, on the bottom, then 'copy', then come back to yotatech(HERE, lol), and when you're posting, click that lil ICON above the post, with the lil mountains in it! Right click, click "paste", then post it up and ENJOY! hahahaha

Either way, even if you don't.... I'm happy for ya, man! Can't wait to MOVE THE HECK ON with the rest of what I wanna do!

LOL, funny slinging is totally acceptable.

No real updates, I went to bed early last night. I have been alittle under the weather this week. Family in town from California this weekend, on top of Halloween with the kids so I don't expect to get much done. I do have a suprise project that I am going to try to work on if I can....but I'm going to keep it a suprise for now. Guess you will have to wait & see. lol

Hoping for the best on your oil leak fix man!

From: Bryan Tx,
I had some family in town & halloween stuff with the kids this weekend, but did manage to find a little time to work on the 4runner. I set out to try to straiten the bed floor, I was dented pretty bad and low on the driver side, making my new rear quarter panel not quite fit right at the back. This metal is alot thicker & stronger than the rest of the sheet metal, beating on it with a sledge got me no where.



My plan was to find a big tree and use a come-along. Not so many big trees in my yard, so I put it on the trailer & took it out to my dads place. We started by welding some angle iron tabs in the places we wanted to pull. 3 tabs total.





Used a chain to shackle a heavy chain to the tabs


Trying to think about how we could pull it up and out at the same time, my dad had a big idea.


We chained the front of the 4runner to a tree & hooked another chain to the tabs and pulled with the hyrdaulics of the tractor.




The results where great!

glad you got the bed all straightened out. A friend bent the frame of his pickup (chevy eww) and we just chained it to a tree and floored it in reverse, fixed that problem. Don't ya love it when the seemingly most stupid things work the best?
