What have you done to your rig today?

[KC Masterpiece]

Facelift. Do I go amber or white? The covers make for easy changes. I like the amber on LongCruiser. I love the old CIBIE Super Oscars (now for sale). The light output difference though....

Amber all day.

 

[Corbet]

Time to swap on the summer tires. Brand new Yoko G003’s

 

[rushthezeppelin]

I picked it up is what I did. 2003 Sequoia in excellent condition with 264k and a 2UZ that is clean as a whistle. Nice to have some actual power for once lol.

 

[rushthezeppelin]

Is there anybody else in the club who actually wheels a 1st gen Sequoia? I don't remember ever seeing one on a run.

 

[rushthezeppelin]

I just installed my sliders from Brute Force Fab onto the Sequoia. I would like to thank Axel Fabrication for welding on my brackets, if anyone is looking for a great welder, fabricator Lars is awesome to deal with. I ended up painting these sliders as they are bolt on, I had a few issues with my powder coated sliders on my 100 so trying something different. I cleaned them up with soap and water, rubbing alcohol, 2 coats of Rustoleum automotive primer and then painted them with Rustoleum semi gloss protective enamel.

Hey I found someobdy else in the club who wheels a first gen tree! I just picked mine up today. Those sliders you installed are fascinating. Almost seems like you could swap between sliders and running boards if you wanted and be a little more low-key most of the time with your build. They are also rather reasonably priced. I assume the mounting hardware holds up well to good hits?

@rushthezeppelin been following along with the drama. Really sad to see what happened to the 4Runner but congrats on the Sequoia!

@Jcbmx has one too I think. Or did. Did you sell that for the 200?

It's all for the better honestly, weird as it might sound this is one of the best things that's ever happened to me as far as growing in virtue (at least so far). This happened because I have a problem with impatience. And I got what seems to be an even more solid vehicle out of it to boot. Granted I still need to build it. Really hope someone takes me up on the 4runner though and gets her fixed up. I would be sad if she ends up in a junk yard and would really like her to stay in the club.

Had some fun getting to our backpacking spot in Utah past the Abajos. Snowed for a bit on the way in. We needed to bust out the maxtrax and winch on 4 occasions. Second year we were the first into the area. This year we were able to get to a seldom accessed ruin.

80 punched right up a hill that turned around a 7 vehicle convoy. The Baja Boss MT is just outrageous.

Pretty sure we had to winch through that exact spot in the Abajos last year. How are the higher elevation roads right now? I'm heading up there soon and am trying to decide which route to take.

This was taken on Monday. We had no problems on out way out. This was a turn going out to Sweet Alice Hills. We drove in through canyonlands. Not sure on the elk ridge side but we saw some tracks coming that way. It was a warm week and realy melted out.

 

[VoodooBlue_Vixen]

Recently replaced the stock hook on Vixens which line with the xmas present my dad sent me. I got it all mounted & reeled in today!

Drove the 80 for the first time in months Had to jump it because the battery was dead. Passenger visor had locked up and I ended up folding it like a taco. The whine did not magically go away, shocker and sadly. She was like riding a water bed compared to the Tacoma though. And finally got her scheduled at the body shop to get repaired from someone backing into me in September!

Lol I get the water bed feeling. 4Runner was a pretty stiff ride, Sequoia is just floaty. I definitely want to retain that as much as I can when I lift it which probably means pricey adjustable shocks so that she's not too bouncy off-road.

 

[On the RX]

Driving home from the hospital last night in the rain and it started to miss. Looks like I will be fiddling with ignition wires and pulling plugs this weekend. Also recieved the new part for my airpump and will have thay fixed up too.

 

[On the RX]

Hooked up the secret decoder OBDII to the 4runner today and found that cylinder 3 and 4 are misfiring. Ordered new coil packs since the same pack feeds those cylinders. Approx $780.00 at Corwin Toyota.... ouch! Mentioned that I am part of rising sun and the one that drops off our calendar every year for them and he said he would give them to me wholesale! BOOM! Name drop for a price drop! Ordered all 3 because if one just went, the other are probably soon to follow. I really hope it is the coil that is bad!
While the hood was up, I replaced my pressure switch on my air pump and now have that ready to do more work! Going to start pulling air intake bits and bobs and probably clean the MAF while I'm in there getting ready for the parts on Tuesday.

Its a really cool ruin. I think we are going to head back to Fable next year and try to do Gypsum and Bowdie down to the Colorado. Shoot me a PM if you happen to have any info.

Anyone want to guess what we were up to on the 80 today?

Sometimes, when you don’t have hemostats, you just need a @SaintAgatha to get the job done.

Totally get it. @DanS @SaintAgatha
