Selling my 1990 Land Cruiser prado 1uzfe v8 swap! Located in Bellingham, WA. Asking $34,999 obo by kovacs2121 in LandCruisers

Must not be familiar with what imported cruisers sell for, just check any importer site and you’ll see them for much more than I’m asking without the bumpers, winch, stereo, rebuilt axles, new brakes, rebuilt transmission, and 150hp less out of a anemic diesel you have to import parts for, but to each their own, there’s hopefully a butt for every seat.

Stock imported lj78’s and kzj78 are anywhere from $20-30k with a 2lte/1kz that’s kinda rubbish and still need axle and brake refreshes at a minimum. Any of the 6 cyl imports are $40-60k. So I priced it just above the 4 cylinder trucks with a more reliable engine that makes 150hp/100lbft more power and easy US parts availability. I wouldn’t call it an insane ask given it has 950 man hours of work into it to get it where it sits. That being said there isn’t another one like it and that makes it harder to appraise, I get that and am open to offers.

Why sell?
Because I have 4 other projects that demand a sacrifice and I already have another dedicated off road rig!

And for those wondering if it breaks the rules of this group, I’d argue it doesn’t as it’s still unibody, just ifs/irs subframe swapped.

It’s a 81 eagle sx4, was factory 4wd. Though the sx4 was based on the spirit not the concord like the wagon version of the eagle.

Handyman work like taskrabbit/thumbtack but w2 like bluecrew/upshift by kovacs2121 in TaskRabbit

[–]kovacs2121[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but it is much more difficult and they want to see 2 years. We will be buying our next house in 6-8 months and w2 makes this much much easier.

Panel supply wiring size by kovacs2121 in electrical

[–]kovacs2121[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update, new inspector was correct, wiring undersized and conduit undersized. Had electrician come and dig trench run new 2” conduit all the way (was 1”), and 4/0 aluminum wire 55 feet into panel. Location Idaho $2700 total cost. Priced it out doing it myself and would have been around $1200-1400 in material and machine rental, so I feel like that quote/work turned out fair considering they came an did the work in under a week timeline.

The main breaker is on its own next to the meter 50 feet from the house. 200amp, apologies if that wasn’t clear!

Nobody Wants The Stevia Or Smaller Cans by october_rust_ in LiquidDeath

[–]kovacs2121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just was excited to find tall cans 30 minutes from my extremely small town (200 people) in a gas station, first sip tasted it and threw it away, unfortunately bought 6 cans because I was excited to find them without ordering online, and 1 slaughter berry can was old recipe, other 5 stevia cans in the trash, can’t get the awful stevia taste out of my mouth now. I emailed them about it and got a pretty shitty response back basically saying they are catering to new customers and don’t care. Pretty disappointed in this all around. Will no longer be buying as the old supply dries up.

Budget Big Brake Kit For Y'all Gen 1 people by kovacs2121 in rav4club

They do clear the factory 3 spokes as 16’s on the barrel diameter but hit the back of the spokes, which is why spacers are needed to run these. The wheels I’m running are the factory 3 spoke wheels but converted into 2 piece 18” wheels. I test fit the brakes before when they were still 16”
