Finally had enough of the retarded stock wiper arms...went to a local pull-it yard. Picked up a set of volvo 240 arms. The perfect fit for less than $5. Amazing how something so simple can make you happy.

 

Claybarred the truck, compound, polished, waxed, almost done waxing the truck.

Haven't done that since before I joined the airforce.

 

Started the cleaning for Saturdays show up in Calistoga .

 

just washed it...thats about it

 

Tride to get my 38dgas working rigth
Ooh and found out the the dash speekers are blown ...

 

Just installed a Blox 490 weighted shift knob. The difference is night and day! It cured the vibration noises from the LC short shifter and the notchiness! I thought it was all hype, but I just want to drive everywhere now! Unfortunately the shop only had gold and chrome left .

I opened the door to get a water bottle out of it

 

Nice to see you guys working on your toys.
Today I changed the transmission fluid in my W58 from Synchromesh to 80w-90 GL4 stuff because the synchromesh is a light fluid. Once it hits operating temp (maybe before), that **** is way too thin.

when I drained it after a 3 minute drivearound, the fluid was like a room temperature cappuccino put inside the microwave for 10 seconds, that's what it felt like and it was as thin as cappuccino.

After I put new fluid in that's proper, **** feels so much better!


I gave my friend my old OEM taillights for his 4WD 89.

 

Test fitted the new wheels.....and guess what...they fit perfectly!!!

 

Tuned the truck a little better, dyno to be scheduled soon to see what a 2rz built motor at 15psi can do. It should be around 350hp I'm thinking. Pending poly urethane bushings to be swapped for the stockers and small kine sound system pioneer player, infinity coax 6.5, kicker sub and amp.....I'll keep you all posted when finished.

 

I bought it then removed the canopy styleside, seats and wires that went nowhere.

 

left her at home while i stretched the bikes legs out ridding to work

Beer or truck you choose

Today I was planing on working on my truck but my friend stopped me on the road and forced me to follow him to his house and drink beer. I had no choice. I'm sorry.( that's what I tell the wifey)

 

polished the lens, much better

Popped the hood to take a picture. Also cleaned my v6 rear end to get it ready to paint and install
