So, what's new with you guys?

[oly884]

With the holidays coming up, what's everyone doing? Anything new in your lives?

Sorry for the random post, just a bit on the bored side.

[DHC6twinotter]

We are short 2 people at work, so I'm pulling extra hours. :thumbup:

My dad is having his 70th b-day party in a month, so we are starting to do some prep stuff for it.

Just bought the new Mario game for the Wii...it looks pretty fantastic.

I need to do a brake job on my 4Runner soon.

I dug my Legos out from under the house, and I'm currently trying to build a Lego Technic model of the Grumman Avenger. The 16 cylinder radial engine and electric variable pitch prop is just about done, but I'm having a hard time with the pneumatic wing fold mechanism. :hillbill:

Otherwise, nothing exciting going on here. :D

[Seanz0rz]

today i spent most of the day in the junkyards looking for various parts for various cars. only came out with an ac compressor for the g/f's car. hers siezed and caught fire last week.

trying to find ways to make money and trying to sell some stuff. going to have a pretty large medical bill as soon as i can get the money to pay in advance for it. sucks when insurance doesnt cover stuff that you really really want but dont "need" at least according to them.

planning for the holidays, trying to get x-mas cards out soon. holidays are a weird time for my g/f and i. she hasnt celebrated anything in a very long time, so its kind of difficult to get her to be as enthusiastic about it all as i am.

for my b-day i bought myself a present for the truck, there will be a full writeup on that in a couple of weeks when i get a few dry days to work on it. still have rear bumper fab stuff to work on, and i am planning my tail light mods soon.

[Scuba]

Let's see..

I got a haircut..

Umm, That's really all I can think of.
So tell us Oly, What's new with you ?

[randver]

now that i finely got my bruce bumper and roof rack i just need to go wheeling.

about time scuba you no longer look like a hippy. sorry military side of me lol

[strykersd]

I just installed a locker in the front of my 86 4runner today only to find out my 7.5" ring gear is chipping/cracking. I'm looking for a new one, but wondering if I should keep running it till it breaks.

Tomorrow I'm trying an idea I've had for the last few months. There's a nice offroading area 10 miles by my house that defies the fact that southern california doesn't have mud. The last time it rained I headed out there and winched 6 trucks out of the mud. It occurred to me that everyone who got stuck HAD to get home to a mad wife/mother, so I've decided to go out there on rainy days to winch people out for a small fee. Mostly to pay for a new synthetic winch cable, but if I make more I'll buy other parts for the 4runner. Plus I get to go mudding in the process! :thumbup:

[4x4mike]

Hair looks good Scuba.

My 8 month old is crawling and getting into everything so we're thinking about some child proofing. The obvious stuff is moved but we don't really let her out of our site so things have been well so far. It's her first Christmas and since she crawls we can't get a large tree like we have in the past. We ended up getting a little 3 footer that we'll put up on a table. Out of her reach but visible.
Trying to find time to swap my e locker axle into the 4runner as I'm done building that up. For the most part all of the parts are here and modded. This week I should get my new Micro DE's to replace the factory lights. I've had a DDM HID kit sitting on my work bench for 2 weeks now waiting to go in them.

[Scuba]

about time scuba you no longer look like a hippy. sorry military side of me lol

It was funny. Yesterday I pull up to work (I work on Camp Pendleton) and there's a couple SOI/MCT kids standing outside near the door. They must have seen the blue sticker on the winshield (Mom's retired) because one of them gave me a real serious salute. Like uhh A. Im not in uniform, B. You dont know I'm the one that earned that sticker... It was just funny.

But yeah it was about time to cut that ish

EDIT: Thanks mike :)

[Okie81]

I gotta change some spark plugs this week and find an ugly christmas sweater for an upcoming party.

What's up with everyone else?

I got my plugs and wires from Rafa too. Have to find time to swap those but that shouldn't take too long.

[YotaFun]

Busy with school and work.
Just made a deal on some All-Pro Upper Control Arms and Extended Adjustable Coilovers for the 4Runner, (little Christmas present to myself since I am paying the guy in weekly payments.....smart move....)
Also just got a Denso 02 sensor to hopefully solve my 10 mpg issue that I am having...

Got my Put Put GTI DD back on the road, still needs a cat, but looking at getting a spacer for the o2 sensor, found out that there was a recall, but VW would need it all day and since I have already done other work to it, they might not do it...

Hood and lights came for my moms Lexus finally (need to replace from the deer damage in 2005), so I have to get some paint for the underside and the clips for the heat shield for it, and install it, probably be a partial xmas present for her.

Our new dog is doing well, no signs of cancer coming back from when he went to have a lump removed from his lip a few months ago.

Going to be talking to the snap on guy about opening an account and getting a box and start something small and then start looking for a job in a tire shop or something to get me into the field...

8 more months and I am finally out of school.....

[Small_words]

Trying to get my 11 month old daughter to learn to calm down so she is easier to get to take naps. Waiting for the condo to sell so we can finally move (I want a garage and a small yard). Then maybe I can fix some of the broken electronics on the 4Runner.

[corax]

Same ish, different day - still a temp employee (after a full year), getting tired of wearing a button down shirt and suckling the corporate teet, thinking about going back into a shop but not sure - - mini-projects on the runner abound -> retro-fitting a rear air deflector from a gen 2, still gotta assemble my elocker 3rd w/ 4.88s and swap the LSD to the 4.88 front 3rd, Chris got me thinking about center consoles (just picked up a 40mm ammo can as a base), thinking hard on sliders (have a slick bolt-on bracket in mind using my stock leaf spring u-bolts), fixed the backhoe . . . all the stuff that never ends


Scube, dude, you went from Venice Beach to Long Beach with the hair - it looks . . . respectable :thumbup:

Don't forget, students get a sweet deal through Snap-On

[CJM]

Left for some whitetail hunting at my cabin sat night, today was sooo cold and then hot I came back inside after 3 hours of being miserable. I just couldnt stay warm and kept getting chills then frying. Went to sleep for 3 hours and then concluded im sick and shouldnt be sitting in a free in 15 degree weather. Went home obviously, shame I didnt get anything but ive already gotten 7 deer in the past few years so im good. Was only waiting for that monster buck anyways.

Waiting to paint and put a fender on the T100 then sell it to whomever will pay me the most. I want it gone, period dont care anymore. No matter what I do the rear axle keeps leaking at the seal on the axleshaft.

Trying to save up for a Tundra or Superduty diesel (prefer tundra but right price wins imho), looking to put down a good nut and loan the rest. Hoping my savings and money i get from the T100 gives me a 10k nut or better. Hard to save when you are working on various projects. Since my cousins wife is the CS rep for the bank I use I am hoping she can help a bit too.

Works gotten slow, ugh got cut back again (no surprise there) and i been trying to find something else but there just isnt anything flexible enough. I now work m-f and dont have to work weekends so im kinda stuck. Looking to maybe become an EMT depending on how work goes. The promise of hours (they always have them), 36hr work weeks vs 40-50 and more money is nice. The training is what I dont feel like, I was a fire fighter but its been a long time (they know alot of the same basic info). We shall see, really hoping by summer to get it started depending on how things go.

Got into university, still havent received my info yet so I had called and they confirmed it. Trying to make an appt soon to go over transfer and see what I can do since I have a 2 yr degree. Looking to major in crim justice just cause IDK what else to pick.

Working slowly on my one atv, need some new rear wheels and tires as mine are offset thanks tot he PO and I dont like them-to small too. Other atv needs the motor redone but gonna have that done by spring hopefully.

Im just really bidding my time

[YotaFun]

Yeah Keith, 50% off!!!

So got the o2 sensor half in, have to get new nuts since I rounded the old ones taking them off.... Dang rust...

And upon doing that discovered that my one cv popped out....
hopefully i can get that popped in enough, take it to school and get them to replace it (the boots are gone practically....)

[Obi..]

;) You all have seen my posts so you already know what's new with us. :D

Daniel, I have 2 R2-D2 Technics, with the computer, as well as the sopwith camel, all covered in dust from sitting on a shelf in the garage, make me a good offer and I'll break them down, put them into whatever lego boxes i have left and send them off.

They're not going to be passed on as I know we now need to shop for Barbie toys.

**Shoot me a pm so I don't detour this thread, Oly, sorry to pimp slightly.

Oh, my finals are next week, I can completely bomb and still get a C+ average, so that's great. Finishing up my campus residency in Spring w/ just a 1-1/2 unit athletics course, then hopefully the State system figures out it's stuff, or I get a good job or consider a couple offers for private institution Business Degree options. I'm less than 3 classes away from another AA option, so who knows, schools been fun and good to me so I am keeping my options open, the private institution's look nice b/c of the added grants I can add to what I already have.

Either way, I finally have a piece of paper proving I'm not entirely stupid, just an A$$/jerk is all.

Get it, AA = Another A$$h0le.. :rofl:

*EDIT: Also some good interviews coming up, so maybe some work/school deal?

[oly884]

Good to hear everyone is doing pretty good!

Congrats to NorCal on the addition!

Few new things for me. First off, I bought a house! I'll get the motivation to create a thread dedicated to it.

Other than that, I've just been working on my house, and working at work (sounds fun, I know)

Yearning to go camping soon, but that's going to have to wait till after the new year. Snow camping FTW!

House pictures and progress: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dophotography/collections/72157622475412520/

[Obi..]

We officially want to change my prior answer to now we're freezing our butts off, trying just to keep the house heated to 72 deg for the baby. This is the third year in a row it's snowed in the hills here, and we're in the S.F. Bay Area at Sea Level!! WTF!!

[Crinale]

iv been doing ok lately...

im newly single, and trying to figure out what that means in my life... little awkward cuz im still stuck in a lease with the ex-gf for a few months... (at least its a 2 bedroom)

tryin to make some new friends, as iv been realizing lately that iv drifted from a lot of my old close friends. Succeeding to an extent.

Gettin ready to go back to school next semester after a few year hiatus. not sure what ill be taking though...

The truck is developing a few issues, that ill need to sort out soon... for right now im just driving it cuz i know this thing is pretty much indestructable...

also this cold storm had me trying to turn on the heater in my apartment... only to find out that it doesnt work (worked when we moved in in April...)

I think thats about it thats new for right now...

[Obi..]

^ I think more than one person here will say pay w/e it takes and get out asap. Do not stay there no matter what. Go behind her back and talk to the landlord, offer to pay your part and sever all ties as quickly and cleanly as possible.

[Okie81]

....tryin to make some new friends, as iv been realizing lately that iv drifted from a lot of my old close friends...

Not to pry into your personal life, but do you think that's because you've been in a relationship a while? I have a lot of friends I don't hear from much anymore because either A) They got married or B) They're wrapped up in a serious relationship.

Just my .02, How's everyone else?

[Seanz0rz]

:good: i fear ive done the same with my current relationship, in addition to school and such, its really taken a priority over everything. i suppose its just part of the natural process.

right now im studying for back to back finals tomorrow, very stressed out about them both.

the money we had saved is now going for my brother in laws burial costs, died of a drug overdose a few days ago (we didnt even know he was using, sucks, we could have helped him) but such is life.

kevin, for your ex and the lease, i agree. pay your half (to the landlord since your on the lease too and responsible when she blows your rent money on whatever girls blow money on (guys would be strippers, beer, and truck parts!)) and RUN, even if you have to sleep at a buddys house or your truck. its not worth staying with her.

[paddlenbike]

New with me...hmm, fell off a cliff in late June, bought a house in August, started back to work in October and now that December is here I am in a panic trying to figure out what to get people for Christmas. So basically, nothing new. :roll:

My New Year's Resolution for 2010? Don't fall off anymore 50-foot cliffs. It hurts.

[Scuba]

Sorry Ken but the last part made me lol.

Soooo, New with me is this goddamn transmission wont go back in, Im pissed and tired of dealing with it. :(

[4x4mike]

I know how you feel. I've worked on projects that seem fine before you start but mid way through the bottom falls out on you. If it were me I'd just get pissed and ram it up there.

[paddlenbike]

If it were me I'd just get pissed and ram it up there.


I would be careful taking Mike's advice. Last time he did the above it resulted in a child.

[Obi..]

Reminder, you must still be a little fuzzy, it's not the fall that hurts, it's the sudden stops along the way. :hillbill:

;) Why I am switching to a trainer and fitness circuit in the off season, I fall enough in the Summer. Armor up man, Dianesse makes some nice stuff, let me know man, I should still have my discount if you need. :thumbup:

FWIW, I've taken more than my share of light spills, anywhere from Pauley Creek to 2nd Divide, so you're not alone in the injury department. It just means "you need a better bike" as I used to tell customers. :laugh:

What else is new for me, my Pirate ban's now lifted and my postcount is non existant, I cannot really pm friends now, but can get pm's from them, and of course, (Pirate)Lance's b.s. spam pm's about a $40,000 DARPA challenge.

Pirate4x4, where our motto is "Do as we say, not what we say!" ?? :angel:

BTW, at what point is someone going to post the "So What'd You Get This Holiday Season?" thread?

[strykersd]

Soooo, New with me is this goddamn transmission wont go back in, Im pissed and tired of dealing with it. :(


Won't go back in? What do you mean?

[Obi..]

He needs a bigger hammer, or the shaft's not aligning good me thinks.

*ohhh, did you make sure the studs are in the right spot, and not in the opposing piece from sticking?

[Seanz0rz]

dang it ken! you beat me to it!!!



BTW, at what point is someone going to post the "So What'd You Get This Holiday Season?" thread?

day after x-mas i guess... youll find my writeup on my b-day gift soonish. suppose to rain this weekend so not much i can do to work on it.

[Obi..]

:spit: 1 vote for quote of the year!

Allright, back to studying..

[4x4mike]

Ah geez. When I look back at my life I chuckle because most of it can either go on a T-shirt or make a good tv show.

[Seanz0rz]

hey, at least you have that. mine usually only serves as a warning to others...

[Scuba]

Soooo, New with me is this goddamn transmission wont go back in, Im pissed and tired of dealing with it. :(


Won't go back in? What do you mean?
It seems like the splines on the input shaft are going into the clutch disk, but after that it wont go into the pilot bearing




He needs a bigger hammer, or the shaft's not aligning good me thinks.

*ohhh, did you make sure the studs are in the right spot, and not in the opposing piece from sticking?


What do you mean studs ? Those little dowels..? They're in the right spot, It's about an inch away from fully seating and being able to start the bolts..
If I dont get done with this tomorrow then I'm screwed because of the rain..

[strykersd]

Scuba, Maybe just go out and buy some longer bolts to get you started. A lot of times once I start bolting them together it just pops into place. Another trick I use to make sure everything is aligned perfectly is to buy the same thread bolt but 2" or 3" longer, throw them in my drill press and use the grinder to grind off their heads. Once it's down to a stud I just thread those into the engine and the transmission slips right into place. Good luck finishing before the rain!

[Seanz0rz]

alot of times you have to raise the tail of the trans to get it to slip on, since when you pulled it off the engine tweaked itself forward because there was a few hundred pounds less on the back of it. that has worked for me in the past.

[corax]

Scuba, Maybe just go out and buy some longer bolts to get you started. A lot of times once I start bolting them together it just pops into place.

Just be careful you don't break off the bolt ears (seen that happen before on a domestic) - don't go all "crack-head tight" on the bolts - if it's not going at all it's not going. I like the idea of using the headless bolts as a guide though.

You did use a clutch alignment tool, right?

[Scuba]

Yes Kieth I used the alignment tool, and actually this morning before I started working on it again
I pulled the trans out of the way and it was lined up perfect. The alignment tool slipped right in.. I'm having a buddy come by tomorrow to help out, Im thinking some extra muscle power will help. We'll see..

[Obi..]

*Pull the front gaurd and throw a block on top of a jack, then lift by the front of the engine (oil pan) to give some room to play?

You can do it, yes you can! :D

*Anyone wanting an update on the ban thing from last week pm me, I am not gonna post it publicly since I think it might get me a time out like another member got?

It's somewhat juicy and pot stirring. :D

[CJM]

^ that may work..

Sometimes moving the engine or trans in different spots helps too-ie jack both up abit and see where you go.

[corax]

This is how it usually works for me: struggle, curse, struggle, beer & cigarette, stare at it and curse some more, struggle, stern lecture on how it must bend to my will, struggle, struggle, give up and kick with my steel toes only to watch it slide in - persistence will win out, but an extra set of hands and eyes to make sure it's going in square definately helps -- good luck tomorrow :thumbup:

[Seanz0rz]

i will be very happy tomorrow when i am done doing integration of trig functions, fourier series, not to mention physics of the 20th century!!!

in about 19 hours ill be done with this crap! at least for now anyway....

[Obi..]

in about 19 hours ill be done with this crap! at least for now anyway....


:flipoff: Good Luck you Lucky stiff..ours has just been postponed until next Weds b/c too many stupid youngins are getting less than a C average in the class.

Umm, hello, study maybe? Loudmouth girls pitcher next to me has a D- average, yet I have an A..maybe stop texting and flirting and listen to lecture at the very least? Seems there are benefits to being in athletics, at least for her and the other 2?

Maybe this time around when done I'll actually use the trig, polynomial, quadratics, and graphing in an actual situation other than calculating a change in displacement and fuel consumption.. :laugh:

[slosurfer]

trying to find ways to make money and trying to sell some stuff. going to have a pretty large medical bill as soon as i can get the money to pay in advance for it. sucks when insurance doesnt cover stuff that you really really want but dont "need" at least according to them.


Those sex change operations are expensive, huh? :flipoff:

[CJM]

Those sex change operations are expensive, huh? :flipoff:


Aww man thats ROFLMAO material!!

[Seanz0rz]

damn chris! i have a witty comeback and everything, but i cant use it because that was just too good!!!

nah, if you must know, its for alexus and me both. we want little ones (very badly) but that isnt going to happen without a bit of surgery to correct a mistake by a previous doc. anyone want to buy a 3rd gen roof rack? lol.

T-12 hours till my finals start. ive had carls jr, now for the home stretch of studying for 3 or 4 hours, then sleep!

[slosurfer]

:laugh: I couldn't resist that one! :laugh:

Good luck to you two and sorry to hear about your BIL. That sucks. :(

[Seanz0rz]

thanks chris. alexus has lost both of her brothers in less than a year. its really been a terrible year all around and we are hoping that next year brings better fortune to us and to all of you for that matter. id just like one holiday where a bunch of family doesnt croak on me!

[Obi..]

nah, if you must know, its for alexus and me both. we want little ones (very badly) but that isnt going to happen without a bit of surgery to correct a mistake by a previous doc.


*A bit up the spectrum of an insurance carrier's policy ladder, but given that she's lost family members, you're both trying for kids, I have to ask, are there any niece(s) or nephew(s)?

Reason is, since Lil'Bro and I are the last of my lineage, we were completely able to have a full tiered level of suport, right down to the wife's diabetes monitoring, an immediate amniocentesis, multiple sonograms, cripes, they mapped her and baby more than I map my heart rate, etc for athletics.

It all falls under the "Quality of Life" and "Genetic Preservation" clauses. Pm me, maybe we can help you two out a little with the terminology and how to go about it so they'll cover things initially denied. :thumbup:

Oh, and I want to know how you did on the Math test, I'm throwing my email down on mine so my Prof will email it to me before I get my grades, and well before Christmas, just so I know if I got the A or B overall.

[Seanz0rz]

you got pm.

for the math test, i just hope i pass the class, i dont care about anything else... i just need to pass the class!

[Scuba]

After close to 15 hours of work the clutch job is DONE.
Fluids topped off and all.

What a headache (no seriously I have a bitchin headache)
I'll make a little thread later with some stuff..

[CJM]

Im interested in knowing wtf went wrong and why it wouldnt line up?

[Scuba]

Im interested in knowing wtf went wrong and why it wouldnt line up?


I just didnt have the trans lined up exactly right. I knew it was splined into the clutch but it wouldnt slip past the pilot bearing. With another buddy around to help out we got it in after a good half hour of scratching our heads..
Cliff notes. Scuba = not very strong. 2nd person helping = good. Trans wasnt lined up right :D

[CJM]

LOL.. I kinda figured it came down to an alignment issue, usually does. Glad to hear its in. Bet the clutch feels way different dont it? I changed one once and the pedal feel was drastic-released much higher when bad and much lower when new.

Today I worked on my atv and didnt get to far. Was hoping to get the steering stem back on. Got the bar clamps on it and lined them up after a bit, but upon trying to get the bearing out i screwed up and didnt realize it had a c-clip in it, well after much pounding and mangling the bearing (it was dirty in there so that mighta not been why i could find it??) im not left with a c clip my pliers wont get out. Can get it a bit out then it slips..going to the shop AM tomorrow to see about another kinda pliers maybe or maybe ill try some large needlenose or hell cut the thing off. Already ordered 3 new ones just incase..

[Seanz0rz]

finals are done, fall quarter is completed! math went ok. fourier series can [string of expletives deleted] itself. hope i passed! physics was another story... nothing on that exam was from the book, lecture, or previous exams. i also hope i passed!

tomorrow im going to get my tail light swapped out, drop the front bumper and get to stripping it for new paint. hopefully the rain holds off until the night (but i doubt it will...)

[Obi..]

^Meh, just get out of Calc and go back to geometry, then you can play w/ fractals.. :roll:

[CJM]

The atv c-clip beat me. heres the story..

All that pounding probably frigged the snap ring, my snap ring pliers wont get it out-just keeps slipping on the ring catches. Go and get some other snap ring pliers from the shop today and still no luck. Ok I finally break down and go buy the dremel I been wanting for 5 years now (of all the tools I have I always borrowed one of these from someone lol) and begin to cut and grind the sucker off.

Half hour later I finally get the mangled thing off. Didnt damage the frame to much either. Woulda prefered no damage but what can you do. I just hope everything sits right in there now since the frames been a bit marred up. Probably seal it well with some silicone on the dust seal or maybe bearing grease.

Ugh..annoyances..

[Obi..]

Stupid math homework and studying!!

I like this thread! :D Even though it's just like chat and does nothng for your postcount! :laugh:

[kregg]

The newness :
English Lit is over - Thank God.
My GF just went back to Disney to work for a few weeks. Good for her, but I miss the heck outta her...
Working on my rear bumper project, it's slow going but I'm making progress...
Work is bumping right along, I like being in the produce business, people gotta eat, that means I have to work, which means I can afford to eat...

Ehh... Other than that, not much is "new"

[gilby4runner]

whats new-
The wife is tired of me using the "family trailer" to haul things. I use it for my 4wheeler and weekly i deliever food pack to schools so kids will have something to eat while away from school. I am always fixing the trailer due to my broter in law and others. This morning i heard the sweetest words..."Why dont you keep your eye out for a good used toyota truck". I amost wrecked the runner with the nerdy fist pump and the YESSSSSSS!

[Scuba]

I just found out im flying to Nashville in Feb. to go to an Eric Clapton concert :clap:

[fustercluck]

What's new? Well, I've had some health problems lately...broken ribs, more oral surgery, influenza etc. and all of the complications in life and career than are generated by that. :lame:

Other than that, I bought some more guns and have been preparing my shop for winter runner projects.

Guns I bought: Tikka T3 in 300 win mag., another lever action wichester 94 in .44 mag, a Sig 556 swat classic in 5.56x45 and another Beretta 92fs (for my 14 yr old)(my gun for his use and modification)

Other than that, not much goin' on. :flipoff:

[Seanz0rz]

broken ribs? mrs fuster been beating you again?

today i tried my best to reverse the worst alarm install ive ever seen. circuit city is unfortunately out of business. if they were still around i would drive my mother's car through their front window and tell them to fix it. added a new member to the family, but thats a different thread.

[Obi..]

Fuster just needs to stop beating himself up over all the little things. :D

I know, all those aftermarket alarm installs SUCK it seems and people always lose the remotes or the batteries die in them and the kill switches never work. I hate working on these things. I had one where you could unplug it to start it but had to do it every single time no matter how I messed with it.

@Fuster, sounds like some rough times for your health. How do you like the the sig 556 tho? Worth the cash?

[fustercluck]

Hehe. The Jr Fusters and I were rough-housing over Thanksgiving. They are getting so strong that I lost my center of gravity and went down hard on the couch arm thingy. I heard a crack, but assumed it was the couch...turns out it was my right rib cage. It didn't even hurt initially. But the next day and for several there after, the pain gradually maxed beyond my threshold. Mrs Fuster explained it to me in Doc-speak, but danged if I can remember all that jargon.

Still waiting for the 556 to arrive at my FFL. Can't wait to see how it 'smokes'... Will post pics and review after I shoot it next weekend. Hope my ribs can take it.

[CJM]

So your kids beat ya up..

[fustercluck]

Yeah. I'm old and slow. They're young and flexible. For Christmas, all four boys will be together again under our roof...I'm screwed.

Sounds like it, I think you need an advantage-cattle prod maybe?

[Obi..]

@Fuster, IIRC my father put it something like this,

"..the true definition of "Pride in fatherhood" is knowing that your boy(s) can take you, and you can't do the same punishments anymore." I was only 11, little brother got away w/ 2 less years of spankings.

[kregg]

My dad picks up the nearest object that isn't tied down and uses it as a weapon. He says "Old people can't keep up, so they don't have to fight fair..."

[fustercluck]

Hey, I like where this is going. I never thought of using weapons...

[kregg]

I'll never be able to take my dad... After all his years in sports and such, in the past 5 years he's had most of his joints rebuilt and tuned up... He's like a 41 year old bald Terminator... The Bionic Man...

My boss just let me know I'll be going full-time in Feb. Woot!

I've been working 7 days a week covering for some folks that have been out, so I've been working almost full-time anyways. Come Feb, our company will be awarded a new contract, so it'll be nice to have a normal work schedule with a guaranteed 40 hours and free weekends. :D

I'zsa edchumakaitesed naw..paperwork won't be in my hands until May, but I have an AA in Lib Arts w/ the focus in Social and Behavioral Sciences and Minored in Business Admin and Marketing.

*Math Prof convinced me to go ahead and take my final a little earlier so I could take care of other things in life. I accepted on the reasoning that anything I didn't know by now, I wouldn't know well enough 10 hours later.

I know I got at least a "C", plus one of the extra credit questions, but I doubt that I got any better than a "B" overall, and worst case, hopefully only a "C" if I really bombed it. I'm accepting things as done good enough to pass, but not the level I wanted to be at so I would have a little more power to get the funding I wanted. We'll see how I did overall and how it'll affect my ability to expand my grants next semester.

I'm blaming all this on stress and serious sleep deprivation, and no, I wouldn't have things any differently.
:angel: :love: :clap: *FYI Mike, we had our first blowout while driving the RUnner, I joked about calling up AAA Roadside and saying we had a blowout and needed help. :spit: :tongueout: I thought it was a funny quip, family didn't..

Like I said before, either way, all I am needing to satisfy now is residency for the last 1/2 units, and well..

Someone hire me already, please? :D "Baby needs a new pair of shoes!" :rofl:

[EDIT] WOOT!! Got one of my course appeals approved, just 1/2 unit to go now, athletics and nothing else, maybe I'll finally focus on core exercise for more than a hour a day, with my heart rate in the 75-80% level and drop the last 25lbs off mah belleehhh. :D

school kicked my butt, im about done with it, well see.

jerkin around with mom's car. i hate honda, their designs are stupid and their electrical engineer needs to be shot in the face with bull sperm.

been painting. i was seriously mislead on the quality of the primer i bought. ill have to lightly sand it all before i can top coat it, and the dry time is insane at 24 hours. what was suppose to be a 3 day project is quickly turning into a 7 or 8 day project. i think ill let it dry for 48-72 hours because it is cooler here for most of the day, and some of the primer is kinda thick where there are metal gaps.

[Obi..]

Spray or gun paint? If spray, You got the wrong Krylon then, or the temps are affecting the cure. PIck yourself up a IR bulb and a shop light, the older style to push the cure time.

There's a batch of semi-gloss we have that takes 3 days to cure and the nozzles alwaysa re clogging. I took them in and exchanged them as defective for some flat. Want the sku's we use for primer and top coat?

Sean, wtf primer did you buy or maybe Norcals right-too cold. Got a propane heater or heat gun, hell hold a propane torch to it and dry it that way, btdt.

I got the parts for my ATV in, now all I gotta do is install a bearing that kicked my butt. No wonder I couldnt get out the stupid snap ring-the stinking thing was all messed up with the holes all open for some reason. I was wondering why its the old snap right ive ever seen that didnt have a formed hole like they all do.

Still working on saving cash to buy a tundra or superduty, its going slow but ill have one by the spring or summer I hope. Till then ill drive the leaking axle bucket of bolts t100.

[Scuba]

There's a guy on ttora "crolision" looking to trade his pimped out 3rd gen 4runner for a T100, I believe he is in tennesee..
Just puttin that out there..

[kregg]

What's new today? Got my tracking numbeer on my ARB front bumper! And plate is being cut for the rear this week... I'm holing off on the carrier for now... It's been in the 30's here, and that's just too cold for my 'Bama bones... I hope to have the rear main bar mounted up before Christmas, until then I have a killer departure angle in the rear!

[Scuba]

You haven't seen killer departure angle :flipoff:

It vibrates and the rear axle seal (pass side) leaks no matter what i do. I hate to sell it to anyone other than some dumb idiot who will only ruin it themselves. Feel guilty but I doubt I get 500 bucks if I disclose that.

Really considering trading it in when I get a tundra, they will most likely scrap it. Shame, 3.4L with 60k and the trans shifts super good too and the trucks super clean besides. Sad bet is i sell it to someone and they wind up fixing it for good.

[Seanz0rz]

no luck swapping out the housing? i saw probably 5 t100's in the junkyard today.

I thought you did a housing swap as well..
Hmm, I'd buy it if I had the cash..

He hasn't done that just axle shafts, honestly the truck feels like mine with a knobby tire, so I can only guess what it is...

[Scuba]

Kregg: if you ever get the chance let me know, I'd be down to show you some of the good wheelin around here :)

[CJM]

no luck swapping out the housing? i saw probably 5 t100's in the junkyard today.


I honestly dont even wanna play with it anymore. I swapped the axleshaft and here is the part that makes no sense at all.

I put a whole new axleshaft in as the pass side was bent which is common on these since its the drive wheel. It leaked, I had the seal changed by my old mech like 2x, my buddy at his shop 2x and another buddy who totally had the axle and every last thing on the shaft replaced except backing plate replaced. Before it was originally replaced-no leak..

Funny thing is about a month before I redid the axleshaft for the last time I replaced all the body mounts and bingo my vibe went away. Was fine till I had the shaft redone, nothing he did installing it imho, no whine from the rear or anything. I think the body might be a bit tweaked

I honestly think A the axle housing where the shaft goes is tweaked. I once went offroad and it became washboard and before I could stop the truck jumped around like it was on hydraulics. and B. b/c of a it leaks no matter what. possibly C is the body is tweaked, you feel the vibe in the floorboards when on the gas, no gas its fine really. However when you get over about 50mph it feels like the tires are totally out of balance. I tried rebalancing and putting an entire different set of wheels with brand new tires and it doesnt matter. Toyota said front wheel bearings, did that too..

I replaced so much its not funny and i just want it gone. Basically besides the interior and body, the electronics, trans and such everything is new or changed or has been looked at. All new front end, springs redone (wasnt cheap either), every pc of rubber that is a mount or suspensions new, shocks, exhaust, fuel pump and lines, brake lines, calipers, drums, shoes, engine was brand new longblock toyota instaled and everything about 60k ago, truck only has 200k on it. etc, etc. Avy will tell you its really clean (hell I even painted the frame) otherwise.

I dont want to deal anymore, currently its leaking gear oil ALL over the one drum. I want it gone, gone, gone and never to return. I wouldnt dick anyone over inth e wheeling community tho unless they wanted to take it with the issues fully understood. Imho these trucks used with the mileage I have and in worse shape (ie not everything nice and new)for like 6-7k with 200k on them. All I want is like 3-4k and I can die happy.

Hey, anyone who wants it and dont mind whats with it, bring me somewhere close to what I want and its yours...Otherwise I find someone who will take it off my hands or the dealer.

[Seanz0rz]

not willing to part it out? seems like if its in good shape and there are alot of new parts, you could get quite a bit of money parting it out. of course you need somewhere to part it all out, and then someone to take away the shell later.

May come to that, IDK yet. Rather just sell it whole rather than take it apart pc by pc. I have the access to the yard and the tow truck so thats a non issue.

Just had another #74 HP cartridge spray crap all over the inside of my printer...that's two separate incidents of this with two different HP Photosmart 4400's. Tore the whole thing down to components to see if I can figure out what is going on, whether it's HP having shitty cartridges, as these are just a day old, produced in 11/09, or the printer's acting up..

Not sure if I'l ever buy another and really not sure whether or not to do a writeup for takeitapart dot net.

[DHC6twinotter]

HP printers are no where near as good as they used to be. Our old HP lasted about 10 years, but our new printer doesn't seem to work as well. And HP's software is horrible too.

BTW, thanks for the input in the other thread too guys. :thumbup:

[Obi..]

True, HP is bringing the suck lately. I shouldn't complain much, this one was part of the student deal between Mac and HP, so I got the first one for free and this on warranty.

It just pisses me off b/c it's always when I am doing my bigger papers, first ne crapped out during Summer Session Finals and this one w/ todays paper and printouts/pics.

I cleaned everything out, including sopping up as much as possible out of the spit trays. I'll watch it over the next month and probably end up throwing up on craigslist or ebay for dirt cheap.

*Our Dell just keeps ticking and ticking, although the photo quality leaves much to be desired.

Anyone have good input on a printer for me?

One good thing out of all this just now, a perfect "Current Song" I didn't have to even cue up, someone is watching over me..SKA RULZ!

Putting together a newer fan setup for Lil'Bro's 4Runner, pretty sure it's the earlier pulley deal, but grabbed both from the recycler's just in case. Swapped out the bearings, changed out the fluid in the clutch assembly, cleaned it all up and got a new fan shroud.

Finally, now I'm am off to make the house's internet wireless, just need to run a 30' data cable to the router, going to find a really good spot to put it, then encrypting the crap out of things. :D

[EDIT] Screw housework, we're going out to party!! Turn it up and have a drink with me! :clap:

Shane ... You got 82/100 on the final, a bit up hill from the C you asked about. Your grade cals are: hwk = 20/20 mids = 35.5/40 fin = 33/40 total = 88.5/100 = B Good luck with your family!

So then it's a 4.0 (100%) and avg 88.5 (yep, same grades this time around)= 94.25%!!

FWIW, Costco here's out of the Lambic Beer I like, so we picked up sme food and such and came up with a couple new camping recipies. I love figuring this stuff out, and the best part was throwing a little libations into this recipe (http://www.ultimateyota.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=5167.msg81892#msg81892) to liven things up.

I'm gonna log in to the .edu access and apply for a boat load of grants Monday to see if someone will now fund my B.A. or B.S.
*Whole reason for this stuff was to bring up my overall gpa, so I'll see what that averages out to as soon as they finish my evaluation of my prior credits from state and private.

*Up (again) helping feed the baby and such, so I decided to finally organize all the expense receipts for my 4Runner.
**Gas and oil changes not included as those are general maintenance things.

2007 $9,419.70 **includes original purchase.

2008 $3,373.72 **miscellaneous stuff, sliders, lift, tires, rebuilt the A340E, and swapped the 3rd out.

2009 $5733.78 **Bumpers, 4wd+5speed swap, headgaskets and miscellaneous NOS Factory Parts.

***2008 and 2009 are skewed numbers since I did most of the work, or helped with it, so i saved a huge amount off of labor.

Total since purchase: $18,547.20 :spit:
Average per year: $6182.40

Playing with family this coming week, hanging out working on another 4Runner, and having what looks to be a great Christmas, priceless.. :wrenchin:

[Obi..]

Let's hear what your expense report for your Toyota vehicle looks like. :thumbup:

**Leave out gas/oil changes, unless something big was a part of it.
(ie: My headgaskets included the necessary fluid changes).

**Has to be your rig, no, sorry but other stuff doesn't count, well, unless you include a new rig purchased
(ie: Scuba having to replace his truck).


*Scuba, it's technically an investment since you got something better. :tongueout:

When did you get a winch? Is it mounted? What did you get?


I chose to not tally up everything because I know that I've spent a lot in the nearly 2 years of ownership. I'd say 1/3 of the amount is maintenance and the other 2/3 is from my "projects". Overall I am pretty happy with the vehicle and see myself spending much more on it.

[Seanz0rz]

haha i finished installing it 15 mins after i got the call from patrick to come rescue him! full posting soon.

i refuse to add up all those numbers. i just dont want to look at it. theres also a bill for 900 for all belts and hoses (professionally done, thats why its so expensive), 700-800 for the stereo system, 70 for an alarm. when i had the computer that was another 1200-1500.

[CJM]

Lets see:

Bought the T100 for 7500 in late 04, or maybe it was 05 I forget now.

I dont feel like listing it all, but imho I spent about 4-6k trying to fix it over the past few years-most of it this year.

[DHC6twinotter]

Bought by '90 4runner in '01 for $2400. I've put probably about $2500 into it since then, mostly routine maintenance, couple sets of tires/rims, and a few oddball issues I've had.

[kregg]

Purchased in ’06 for $6,000
Clear bumpers and Corners - $50
Clear taillights - $125 (sold)
Gutter Guard grill - $13
Brush guard - $200
Taillight guards - $75
Various audio stuff (total to date) - $1100
Lift - $1350
Tires - $1079
Front Bumper - $815
Rear bumper (so far…) - $33
Exhaust - $300

[YotaFun]

I don't even want to total mine up I would be too afraid too.
And since I consider my stepdads mine as well, that cost just went through the roof today too...

[Good Times]

I overpaid for mine! FAIL!! :)

Sadly we are our own worst enemy... Damn this community and other communities for allowing us to share our hobbies! damn all of you! :chair:

$17,000 purchase price
$1,000 SS lift
$750 tires

But the places it has taken me are priceless.

$875 - Sales use tax
$2400 - Lift and bumper shipped
$900 - Tires
$400 - Rims

101,000 miles/16 mpg = 6312 gallons x 3.00/gallon = $18,937 on gas over 8 years!!

[Obi..]

Gas from dragging your ass across the country. :tongueout: :spit:


101,000 miles/16 mpg = 6312 gallons x 3.00/gallon = $18,937 on gas over 8 years!!

50k since I've owned, so 50000\14 mpg (*14 worst case.) 3751 gallons $10k +/- $1500.

Lil'Bro brought his Runner for us to do the work on the missing stud from the fan idler assembly. Tore it all down, upgraded to the ringless fan assembly, then went about fixing his surging idle issue, a stuck dashpot and horrible tune done by a lazy mechanic. Tackling the little interior bits/etc tomorrow.
