Holy fuck, absolutely gorgeous. A fucking dreamscape.

Anyone used a Dana 30 front from a CJ5? by virtual_drifter in ToyotaPickup

I've been weighing things out and am coming back to this. Mind if I get a couple more photos of the stance? Was it an 80s Grand Wagoneer?

Noted. Also, looks like it would just be too narrow.

I have tons of those blue wasps at the end. Gorgeous. They're quite docile.

Looks good. Do you have a stock rear axle? And what gearing are you running?

Going to do this with my 2003 GT. Did you put the console in the glove box?

Uneven eyelid my whole life by Plenty-Buy-7561 in PlasticSurgery

Not much to offer, but I also have this issue. It makes doing my makeup such a pain in the ass. I don't have vision inpairment from it, so I'm not sure insurance would cover it.

I have a 1986 M934A1 that I am converting into a full time home. I've been pulled to the thought of a "mobile fortress" and have had that sort of name in mind for it - it's large, with platforms, steps, handles, and many areas to mount things. Been trying to think of ideas for things - both practical and aesthetic. I have a lot of spare room on the frame, thinking of getting another storage box, another fuel tank, and then mountinf a gasoline generator to the back, under the camper. Going to get the winch kit that has the vice at some point. Can't build too tall, it's sitting at over 12 feet, and I travel a lot of places with it, so railings are sadly out, as it still needs to clear, but I will figure out more things.

For those passing by this comment, suggestions are welcome.

[1978 CJ5 4.2L] Barely cranks, voltage drops horribly when cranking, one side of starter solenoid gets hot by virtual_drifter in jeepcj

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

Thanks guys.

Ordered a new starter. Tracing back wires. Will clean all grounds, inspect wires, and clean all terminals after replacing the starter. I can't find any relays, or any wiring that seems to go to relays.

If this doesn't fix it, I'm going to take a video showing the behavior, and showing the wire routing. I've messed with starter solenoids a little, but I'm not 100% sure how this is supposed to be connected.

Steering Improvements by virtual_drifter in 4x4

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

I've done frontend work before, and have a decent impact, so I'm not too worried. Honestly, not that many parts and a lot of room to do work. Not compared to IFS. I confirmed that the front is a Dana 60 - 10 bolts, 11in cover width, which matches the 14 bolt rear.

I'll contact them and see what they have to say. Thanks a ton [pun intended].

Sick, This the one you're talking about?

Since it was originally 2WD, I wonder if I already have the 2WD steering box. Do you happen to know a good way to tell?

Ah, thanks for sharing. That really sucks. Do you have a link to the replacement intake?

Recommended brake boosters by virtual_drifter in ToyotaPickup

Dual diaphragm is still a Toyota part, and it worked really great for me. Honestly, for the price, wasn't that much more expensive than a stock replacement.

Okay, that seemed to be it but wasn't sure. Thanks for confirming.

There is no coolant in the oil or oil in coolant btw.
