thats cool .. my boy has been in the shop with me since he was 2 , and has helped me with many projects . he's now in Edmonton going to university enrolled in engineering .. and wanting to specalize in robotics .
I dont know the next time we will be able to work on any project in any length , but I am sure glad we spent the time together that we did . We both have many very good memories .

Slacker really awesome build. I'm currently on page 25. Been reading for a couple hrs strait. Had to skip ahead and let you know it such a sick looking truck. Really cool to see you working on it in 2009 and too see you profile pic now.

 

Yeah, I totally agree with Taco98! I remember this build back in 2008 when I joined the board. Had a few years hiatus while I was without a Toyota, came back and BAM! Slacker's build is amazing!

Great job, brother!

 

Thanks fellas ...
looking forward to getting it out of storage and getting some work done ...

got some new headers to install , as well as some new injectors , maybe meth. ? and some powder coated valve covers , so keep watching


.

 

so in prep. of the engine work to come , (Canadian stat. holiday today) , I decided to go in and replace the leaking "glow shift" oil pressure sender .. the top broke off ? and It has been dripping a spot of oil every now and then ..

oil filter has to come off in order to be able to replace the sender , and impressed as always with the OEM Toyota quality products .. the filter still had oil in it even though I haven't started it for 5 months

anyway .. sorry no pics .. but got this done , and ready now to start er' up and install some new stuff


.

 

I finally got the headers back from my ceramic coater ..
I built the headers , but I cant do the ceramic coating yet , as it is cured at a much higher temp. then my powder coating oven will go . Cant wait to install them





.

 

Nice. Have you started it with then on yet. Really nice job.

 

not yet .. hope to o the install soon


.

 

Oooo fancy!!!!

 

but yet practical


.

 

so busy sand blasting and powder coating engine parts
mine and customers .. hope to get some of my stuff installed soon

 

looks better in person

.

 

Neat! ....what is it?? I'm a 22R guy so I don't know much about your fancy V6 engines

 

it's the fuel rail + bolts , and a URD 2.1" supercharger pulley ..

 

Does the powdercoating on the bolt threads give you any grief? I'm thinking that it could be beneficial by acting a little bit like a thread sealer and loc-tite

 

I will re die the threads before install , + add some neversieze


.

 

Damnit Corey! This is information that I shouldn't have... now I'm likely to remove every nut and bolt off my truck to powdercoat them!

 

hahaha ...
your welcome


.

 

well yeah .. finally found some time to work on my stuff .
woke her up out of hibernation today



got er' into the shop . I decided to only do the headers and pipes for now , and leave the powder coated pieces to do another day ..

got the stock manifolds and crossover , as well as the header pipe with the cat off .



and my NEW headers installed







it's just loose right now , but all the bolts are in .. SUPER happy with the fit , I did have to remove a couple of the exhaust studs in order to get the headers on , but all in all , I think it was easier to install these , then remove the originals very happy


.

 

looking great as always!
