last friday i cut out part of the interior sheet metal, In the ext cab portion where the bottom seat cushion rests. I did that so my sub box could sit lower and i could slide my seat back more.

Saturday i painted the back wall of the cab.

Sunday i recharched the battery...

Monday i found popped the hood again and saw a rat running over the engine so i put some that poison stuff in where its nesting.

tuesday i sat in my kitchen looked into the backyard and n remembered the good times when it was still running

Today ima go check for dead rats...

 

yes.

just ordered new studs. i'm tired of working on this part, its time for it to work right so i can look into other things.......like hiding the wiring and such.

 

Good luck! damn, slide your seat back some more? how much more can you slide back? hahahahaa

Yup! Good plan sir, I was wondering if the rest of the exhaust is causing it to "turn" and theoretically pop off.

 

thats what im thinking, which is why i am buying a new exhaust down pipe from a member here tonight.

 

Glad to see you get somewhere at least!
Hope the fix can be over with for once haha.
Sometime when it gets significantly cooler, i want to pull out the bottom bolts to my timing chain cover and redo them... there's some sort of tiny oil seepage... bothers me.

 

Today i took a shot of carb cleaner to my eyeball cleanin up the 79... good thing i had in my safety contacts

 

owch! man, you gotta be careful! how did you manage that?



About to sleep, but yesterday I bought an oil filter and 5w-30... but not any oil filter.
Did my research.
90915yzzd1 is the factory size... compact.... 160sq in for filter media, great filtering.
90915yzzd3 is the factory tundra size.... similar, 203sq in for filter media, great filtering. same thing, longer..

then i decided to do more researching. Purolator PureOne filters have AMAZING filtering... up high on the list, pretty much equal to the OEM and Bosch I believe.

Purolator PureOne PL3001 - aka as the jumbo size filter
thing is MASSIVE. taller and wider than the yzz-D3
400sq in of filtering media.

talk about fckn overkill.

So i'm ready to do my oil change

but, before i fill her all up, i'm going to pull a few bolts... I got some bolts or two seeping out oil.... This is why you dont ever rush a timing chain.... without a torque wrench. Anyway, bigass oil filter!

 

you got that right man,

take a look at this yall

i used to use bosch , a year ago i switched to pure one about 6 bucks in pepboys kmart



today i took the seats carpet and cleaned them real good , i found out i need one or the whole bench seat , still need lots of stuffs , especially a good exhuast down pipe

 

lol, my truck has used Bosch for a long time. I decided to go with the PL30001 because its the biggest and only one that fits on my toy

makes my engine look... TINY.

Anyway, I was driving home... heard something...



missing an exhaust manifold stud/ nut


so FML

 

Well this is from yesterday. But I did some more bodywork an primered it all.
Today I'm gonna paint my rims an mount my bigger air tank an comps.

 

Sooo pretty :giggles:

 

that guy could have saved himself a lot of money if he just went and got the oil filter book we use at work..you can cross referance every car with the oil filter...lol

 

Comon man, it's fun to rip apart an oil filter

 

Here's what I did today until I ran into a ball joint problem an it sucks when you don't know the parts cando specialties uses.
Before:

after:

 

I have big seats

 

those are from the Dodge/Chryslers right?


wow, beautiful

 

Ya those are off a charger. They looked good when I first put them on except where the hubcabs were was faded. So I decided I'd paint them gloss black so they look good. Thnx man

 

damn they look so delicious!


I put my M10x1.25x40mm bolt in where my stud and nut used to be on my exhaust manifold

 

Thnx man. The chrome "bullet shaped" lug nuts look so
much better on them now
