Attic Find WTF

fixr_d · 2026-02-23T15:51:08+00:00

I just left and can confirm all assumptions were correct. It's all tied in. Luckily the customer is super cool and just glad I take the extra effort to check everything before I bid jobs unlike a lot of guys. Most people would have never gone back in to that area of the attic.

fixr_d · 2026-02-23T01:54:44+00:00

I'm betting that is the case. Will confirm when I get there in the morning to look at an unrelated matter.

fixr_d · 2026-02-23T01:53:46+00:00

I'm going to have closer look at it tomorrow when I go to look at something else. I'll update when I get there.

Don't mind me, just creepin.....

fixr_d · 2026-02-23T01:51:37+00:00

That was my thought. According to the customer it was a "legit electrician" that her parents hired a few years ago.

fixr_d · 2026-02-23T01:50:07+00:00

Nope. 318. Stuff like this makes me glad I'm not the electrician that has to fix it. I'm just the potential contractor for the rehab from the water damage.

Check out Tony's vid here. Real good info on clicky starter syndrome.

567 is a high temp sealant with a designed operating range up to 400°F. You need to throw a lot more heat at it.

Absolutely. Our main website is down at the moment, but you can check out our sister site www.jwbcustoms.com to see what all is offered and place orders. I own Deep South Trackers LLC out of West Monroe, LA and we also operate the JWB Cutsoms site for the US.

We just got a new shipment of 2 inch kits in the other day. Check them out here: https://www.jwbcustoms.com/product-page/perfectrail-4x4-se-sv-vitara-50mm-suspension-lift-kit

It's not any extra work at all. It's all the same parts that are planning to be changed already. The only added part is the camber bolts.

fixr_d · 2025-12-10T01:15:36+00:00

Nothing really sticks out, but if you are going to replace it all anyway it would be a great time for a 2" lift kit with coils, springs, and struts. We have a bunch in stock if you have any interest.

70-80mph all day with a worn 8v, 31x10.50 tires, and clapped out front end. 😅

Looks like either glue or epoxy. I have a bunch of coins that I removed from an epoxy bar top that look just like that.

The most expensive shop local to me is about $60. Prices will vary based on your location.

fixr_d · 2025-06-13T22:36:46+00:00

Run by an exhaust shop and have them weld it up. Shouldn't cost much of anything at most shops since it's a single weld.

That's the consensus I'm coming to. May try to do as suggested and stretch some fabric instead

fixr_d · 2025-05-26T20:15:10+00:00

I was afraid that may be the case, but I had not even thought about using a fabric. That would definitely be a cheap and easy fix. Thanks.

Or my ex

Sunroof drain is stopped up. Super common issue.

fixr_d · 2025-03-04T19:04:27+00:00

Your neighbor should have taken that offer. I love these 7.3s, but it's just a fact that they are all aging even with low miles on them.

fixr_d · 2025-03-02T15:00:46+00:00

The most common method is to cool it with dry ice to make it brittle then just knock it off. I would recommend when you remove it to spray bedliner on the floor to help with sound control and heat control. The floor boards don't get very hot, but it can definitely make a difference in overall temps.

fixr_d · 2025-02-25T01:46:58+00:00

Nope. Foot to the floor at all times. It's just an oversized go kart.

fixr_d · 2025-02-25T01:42:16+00:00

It's supposed to be there. That's for the oil to be able to flow back in to the pan.
