interesting approach on the X-Terra Ex0, but it looks like he missed a couple of bars

oh and you should have tried that rocky road...it would be fun

 

Definitly needs some more gussetts and bars for that cage.

I am thinkin about makin a run up that rocky road in a coulple of weeks. Ima take my sister up there to hunt her deer. When I do there will be plenty of pics to check it out.

you wouldn't happen to be a galactica fan, too, would you?

 

LOVE that shackle angle on the xterra...

 

No, I don't think I've ever seen that. Why you ask?

I didn't even see that. Doesn't help it out any, terrible.


Went kamping/wheeling this weekend. With Al 84 Toy and another friend.








Stuck on the beach



There will be more to come from this trip.

 

this is why. i watch a lot of sci-fi, so i know all the fraking fahng-tzong fung-kwong duh jeh cuss words .

 

i like the hood scoop on the blue and black and the other colored toyota lol!!!!

where did he get it?

 

Ah I see, never seen it. But I see where you would get that haha.

It was actually a mini roll pan project that he did at Wyotech. He then made it into the hood scoop after that.

 

oh thats pretty cool

 

Yeah, pretty resourceful.

 

I took the bumper off of the truck last night. It was all twisted up and ugly lookin. Gonna do the valve adjustments today, spray off the the front suspension to watch for the oil leak. I am also thinkin about converting the square headlights to the old round ones. I don't think it would be that hard to do.

Here are some more pics from the weekend.

 

Well the valves didn't need adjustment, tight as can be. Threw a timing light on it and its wayyyyy outta time. I think it jumped a tooth or two. But good news, I found a parts truck that I get fo faree. Its a ifs truck. Front end collision, total loss. Good motor, tranny, and t-case. Plus lots of other parts that we can use for my truck and my dads truck too. Then prolly build a hevy built krawler from the kab and frame. Itll all be good in the end

 

Alright, time for an update. Checked the valve lash, perfectly fine. Threw a timing light on it and........the timing chain was installed wrong by the PO or jumped a tooth sometime between the rebuild and the time that I got it. Lamer!! It definitly explains why there is a backfire and excessive fumage from the exhaust. Time for a new powerplant soon. I want a diesel but not sure what I wanna do yet. I still have a little while before I make the decision.

 

DIESEL go for a DIESEL

 

I really want to. Gotta figure out which one to swap in though

 

ive seen people to put VW 1.8L TDIs

thats what im going to try and do when my motor craps out

 

That seems to be a good one. My old man told me about one that bolts right to the toy tranny. But he cant remember which engine or even where he read it

 

he was probably thinkin about one of those sweet Australian toyotas

 

Yeah, quite possible. They are bad ass

 

i want a crew cab long bed diesel yota so bad but shipping one over here would be expensive
