Back when I could say it had most of its parts assembled...

Right on, I stalked your thread on entry level tig machines. I was hoping there's someone ready to move up to a blue / red machine and is offloading their current machine.

If you can move your shocks outside of the frame and do something like @nickgordorn93 , it would clear up a bunch of space in your bed: https://forum.badlinesgoodtimes.com/threads/white-fenders-matter.1043/

Looking to get a clean entry level tig machine for learning how to do steel and aluminum. Can’t be 240 V only. If you have a primeweld 225 or a WeldPro 200 Tig I’m particularly interested. Thanks!

@Bosto88 100%. However, the official story is that a bus full of cat-hating nuns tried to kill him when he was crossing the road shortly after I took that picture and he didn’t make it. I don’t believe it though and am pretty sure it was actually those feline-haters that didn’t make it out of...

That's a great idea. I used string line a long time ago when I worked with a guy that did masonry and now that you mention it, a couple of cheap mic stands (like $10 a piece) would allow you to place a string with a magnet (or just tie it on the mic stand) just about anywhere you wanted. I've...

Thought it would be greatly helpful to have a similar thread to the bending and notching about mitres - measuring on and off the truck, how to cut, tools, prep, and weld them too. Can’t find good info on YouTube besides a Kibbe video (no judgement) where he just lays two tubes on a table and...

@ntydog13 has that setup

One thing to consider is that you’ll be putting time and money into a 7.5” diff when with a little fabrication, you could swap in a 6 lug rear axle with an 8.4” diff which were all 4.10 from the factory except for some 4 banger specs. If you’re only looking to jump up to 31’s and have a cool...

@Hansoloo good info - I’m pretty noob with automatics. My wife’s 4runner is the first auto I’ve ever owned.

If that is the case, here’s the model year updates for the ignition. Good info on the a340 here - he mentioned that 4cyl vs 6 cyl transmissions may have different amount of clutch packs, haven’t heard if that’s the case on 4Runners though. Also I reached out to Yota1 asking in an email...

Sounds like swapping the entire engine harness and ecu would be the best thing to do if they’re keeping the parts truck running. Important to note if the donor and / or the original trucks are distributor trucks or not as that might change things. More familiar with Tacomas so not 100% on when...

How wide are the frame rails on your truck and the axle width? If you don’t want to go through the bed there are a number of ways to run shocks under the bed. Relocating the shocks to outside the frame gives the best overall performance but the longest shock you’ll probably fit will be a...

Unless you’re ready to make at least a shock hoop and engine crossmember / brace it’s a lot of work for not a lot of benefit. You won’t gain a lot of travel and ideally a 12” shock bumping off the spindle will make a much better choice for spring choices and bump setup. If you’re starting the...

Looking for a shop to rebuild my wife’s 97 t4r 4x4 trans. 315 on the clock. Still runs and I prefer to keep it that way.
