1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

A little tool porn never hurt nobody.

 

Guess who gets to do sketchy shit!




Dilbert broke the dumpster, and the hopper has been in this big dumpster for 3 days. Apparently, the hill people I work for left it until I came back to work. Flying solo.

I'm taking an unregistered smoke break inside the big dumpster. That's a new one.

 

Fuckin dilberto broke that hopper good! Where is the lowere cradle part?

 

Centered lift point, and took up slack on chains.

 

Inside the plant. I'll have to figure out how to reattach it to the skid...

 

I agree. @FirstGenVol you got this. This is an easy Saturday projected.

 

We’ve got a Navian boiler with 2 zones of radiant and an indirect water heater for domestic hot water. Works wondefully and NEVER run out of hot water. Garage stays 70 degrees in the winter too

 

Plumbers at work said navian use stainless heat exchanger vs copper in other brands, the one I put in for our plumber was a Navian; he wanted the best!

 

Yea that was a fun 2 day project 2 years ago. It’s been flawless.

 

Working on a dumpster video. Editing now in the shitter

 

Just wanted to say thanks to all of you who have posted images and words of your experiences doing an exhaust manifold replacement. The tool suggestions and other insights will undoubtedly come in handy as I prep to do mine. Just waiting for a couple more parts to roll in and then finding the time to do it. Work schedule is even busier this time of year as all the auto manufacturers release their new MY's.

 

We have some sort of cheap ass big gurl tankless water heater. It's electric. Pops installed it, and three years later a heater burnt out. I found a new heater for it at a local place of all places, and popped two new ones in.

Works gud

 

Thanks for reminding me, gotta check my anode this summer.

 

Haha what anode

 

How many years ago was that? Things are expensive now! I'm getting 4 quotes. If someone comes in significantly lower then we'll know if it's rape. So far, both have been around $1,800. Personally, I'm not sure I want to mess with something that has the potential to kill me with carbon monoxide just to save a little money.

I have faith in you. I’ll be doing a tankless when it’s time, maybe a whole house filtration down the line, our water sucks here…….
Send some pics to darkness and he will steer you in the right direction; most tankless use pvc as the vent now, so if you have easy access to vent outside, pvc is super easy to deal with

 

1&3

I've had a lot of debt in my life. Now any debt besides my mortgage will keep me up at night.

 

I really need to order the damn long tubes before they’re illegal

 

Really isn't that bad, and your flue should line up easily. It builds capillary action so it won't leak into your house. For the gas line you need a spray bottle with water and dish soap, spray the connections and look for bubbles. No bubbles means no problem.

I trust you with zero experience over half the plumbers I worked with seriously.

But if you get a reasonable bid I get it, warranty on labor is usually a year. My pricing is stuck in 2012.

 

Quite a few of my exhaust hangers are rusted almost all the way through... I've been chewing on ordering a complete exhaust system, but unsure what direction I want to go with.

I like the quietness of my exhaust, but think I've read that there's little to be gained from long tubes or short tubes on my engine. That was a number of years ago so maybe I read it wrong...

Just kinda unsure. Last thing I want is for my whole exhaust to fall out while I'm choogling at 60MPH.

 

Plus V6 rubber band wound up exhaust isn't for me, I think... not that @Sirfive would care

 

Is it a 3.4?

 

For the 3.4. It’s not the best sounding engine. Keep it OE or close. 3rd gen taco mufflers pop up cheap all the time. Have an exhaust built off one of those

 

If you want loud pipes, you gotta cover it with blower whine. My stockish ‘97 4runner had a k&n filter and all the intake baffles plugged, and was heavy and slow enough i could let it howl for minutes, and not be speeding.

 

My mortgage keeps me up at night.

 

Just picked up a bottle of Kraken, special California edition. You know you're in for trouble when it smells like rubbing alcohol.

94 proof

 

You see nothing..

Unrelated... what's yours & @bmf4069 PayPal account again? I think @AzureNightmare and myself have FGT hangout dues outstanding.

 

I like the sounds of my tacomas. But it took a mangaflow catback. Doug thorley headers and the airaid MIT to make me happy
