Ok sweet, I'll give them a shot then. Sean

Sup y'all. The retractors on my tundras fromt seatbelts are super worn out and basically useless, have any of you guys ever had them rebuilt? I have been looking atcthis group (https://www.safetyrestore.com/). Price seems not terrible. I'll probably swap the straps too. I spent some time...

Gonna hit up the Texas shows for both of them. I just saw Dropkick Murphys last week too. I'm trying to convince the wife to go to Nashville for Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, and Mannequin Pussy when they come in September. Sean

I don't buy into the religious aspects of any of this nor will I say any group of people in general are to blame here, BUT I do buy into the fact that a group of insanely rich, shitty people in power, who have gotten away with depraved shit for a while, got into some even more depraved shit...

Ya love to see movement on these clowns. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c70kjr9wjw0t It's not charges but it's a start. Sean

Looks like potential consequences are happening overseas, in the US, we are solving the issue by getting ready to distract everyone by going to war with Iran, again. Sean

The 2nd gen trucks could pull 13" with just a coilover and uniball arm if I remember right. They were big boys from the factory, I would expect the 3rd gen to be similar but I don't know. Too much moolah for me. Sean

A buddy told me about Meshtastic the other day and its pretty neat. You basically setup your own little cell/radio text repeaters so you can run messaging off grid where you don't have cell service. I have been screwing around with it for the last week or so and its pretty straightforward...

I grenaded 3, 8.4 diffs in my tundra before I supercharged it and stopped breaking diffs. You know, because I have not finished the install and tune. Seriously though, plan to get a decent diff or swap the axle. Sean

The weld is the strongest part of the joint, that's why you leave big gaps to fill, you get more weld in your weld. I learned that from the book of the piece.

Looks awesome, like it was meant to be there! I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to convert the underhood evap canister to the landcruiser style under the floor to clear up space in the engine bay. That's a future project though. Sean

Looks like his patent is for rear suspension if I am reading it right. It also specifically says for a rear/rear mid mounted engine in the claims. He wouldn't have been able to patent it otherwise since the front concept was prior art even if it was expired. So front setup like that is fine, a...

I vote van 4wd conversion style with a weirdass v drive connecting left and right differentials. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1712765-1980-econoline-w-rare-vemco-v-drive-4x4.html https://www.blueovaltrucks.com/tech-articles/the_vemco_v-drive_system/ Sean

What did you use for your tube racks in the last picture? Are they just lagged into the studs? Sean

I'm still mostly moving into my new place despite actually moving in July of last year, but I got some work done on the electrical and lights this past weekend. No, the Tundra isn't running yet, AAA chase moved it. I tossed some no/nc limit switches on the garage door rails to control the...
