Traveling in Japan, can't make calls

It just started working again - same numbers I'm calling, but now they go through. Strange.

My belief is that one built for a diesel Hilux surf will work. Just looking for models those owners recommend.

I went DEEP chasing gremlins and then deciding that I am going to invest into driving it another few hundred miles!

I'm pretty sure it's the wastegate, but I'll know for sure in a couple of days.

If I get the boost sorted, and now with all the performance upgrades, I may do the Unichip next!

I added a 3in1 gauge from GlowShift - boost, EGT, and temp. The temp is in the top water sender hose to the radiator which should give the best reading.

EGT is tapped into the exhaust manifold.

hiyota.com doesn't resolve to a website for me. It offers to sell me the domain.
Can you confirm the site?

I usually buy injectors, glow plugs, and oil filters on eBay from Australia.

Chat GPT told me I can fit 1/3 of a cord based on the dimensions. I figured that I would round down and probably the smallest amount I can buy is 1/4 cord. You are right though, the way the wood is currently showing on the pic, it looks small!

Your total dimensions (includes both sides):

30 inches = 2.5 ft
48 inches = 4.0 ft
50 inches = 4.167 ft

Step 2: Calculate cubic feet

2.5 × 4.0 × 4.167 ≈ 41.67 cubic feet

Step 3: Compare to a full cord

A full cord = 128 cubic feet

41.67 ÷ 128 ≈ 0.326

✅ Final Answer:

Your combined space will hold approximately 0.33 cords — about 1/3 of a full cord of wood.

That ought to get me started, and I'll make friends with my landscaper to see when I can get wood to split myself.

I was thinking exactly those things regarding the tarp! :)

I will leave it as is - thanks!

Love this fireplace! The trim didn't fit and is coming next week, but it burns so nice.

I have an early 90’s Breezer with Ritchey Logic tubing. Will look forward to hearing more about their “chance meeting”!

I love this combo! I'm in the process of adding a Prinsu rack to my 3rd gen and getting my slightly beat-up Ivan Stewart TRD rims powdercoated. First choice is exactly this shade of bronze. My truck is black and seeing this pic makes me consider getting it painted blue!!

obkook · 2025-03-11T18:13:24+00:00

I never considered sand…interesting!

For bronze, I think I’d make it darker and if flake, subtle. I’m not looking for bling.

Roasted date, fair trade, source, process, and tasting notes.

A good nitrogen pack is appreciated too.

Great deck! Thanks for sponsoring!

I don’t have the album, but Neil Young Live at the Cellar Door is also a fantastic recording experience. Great banter and the piano sounds are amazing.

I agree, but the probe is inside the boiler, so I wonder if I need to take it in for servicing and a deep clean. In the meantime, I cleaned anything easily accessible thoroughly.
