@bmf4069 has done it before with quotes.

 

but daves post that i quoted was linked to shifty's profile as well..... weird.

 

oh, his old phone did all kinds of fukt up junk

 

It all leads back to @shifty`

 

spies!

 

Interestingly enough, all I’ve ever contemplated was harvesting the third. No way I’d attempt the gear install. I’m not that good.

 

If you decide you don't want to do the gear install part, I can build the 3rd member if you pull/ship it to me.

Otherwise borrow the tools and prepare to spend some time. gearinstalls.net is a great resource for pics and know how.

These?

It's my gf's. She's got the 2015, I've got the 3 white 90s ones. She got in a fender bender in the smalmart parking lot a few weeks back. Then last week her car just wouldn't start. I replaced the battery, checked the inertia switch, and replaced the fuel pump control module. No dice. She just got gas and the car is on an incline so I didn't feel like dropping the tank to check the fuel pump, so we sent it to the mechanic. Every SHO winds up on a flatbed eventually.






That's why Ironman is there. She's been dailying with my truck the last week. Most it's been driven in years!

 

That's my tablet. I had to start using Chrome so I could quote people.

 

I’ve got 8 hrs of driving to do on Monday. Tundra towing the mr2.. Dyno day. If there’s time, the tundra will go on the dyno too

 

Really nice of you to offer. I’m a sucker for Zuk though. It’s just too much fun.

 

There's a bunch of talented guys on this forum: at least one, unintentionally awesome!

 

hmmm... no one calls me awesome.

 

Pops says this: "All roads lead to salve."

Effectively, you always use penetrant, grease, some kinda liquid for something. Hence the salve.

Lmao

 

I think you're awesome Mr sexy voice.

 

Dunno, but the weird part is, I had a hard time reading it. And when I read it, it came out in a different voice, the same way when I read IN ALL CAPS it comes out like yelling, y'know? Very bizarre.

Spit: Nature's lube.

 

Has anybody ever sent their torque wrenches off to be calibrated or do you think it would be cheaper to just buy new?

All three of mine have been on the back porch for a good while. Glad that I can finally migrate my tools back inside out of the elements...

 

I honestly wouldn't worry about it unless you're digging deep into the engine and need the accuracy.

 

Subie... not worried, just aware.

 

Drives me nuts too! I got the tan W-techs for the front and love them. Don't understand why they don't make anything for the back

 

For what you can pay someone else to do it, you may as well just buy the newfangled digital device/tool they use to check torque input, and confirm each of your wrenches is clicking out at the right TQ in a low/med/hi setting.

Don't ask me what it's called. And don't ask me how to dial your wrench in if out of spec, it may vary. I just know there's something out there you can buy, snap your wrench onto it, and check the TQ output.

Big question is, who watches the watchman on that one? Like, if your TQ measurement tool isn't in-spec, how do you know, when you snap a bolt off? If a tree falls on my head in the middle of the forest, does anyone find me before I kick the bucket and crap my pants? The answer is 42, Johnny.

 

They do but not for the cute little access cab “rear” seats.

 

you guys calibrate your torque wrenches? I just don't use mine often so they stay 'new'. It's a good plan so far

Shots fired.....

 

Why not just DIY? How hard can it be?

 

You guys use torque wrenches?!

 

Either that or count ugga duggas.

 

I do use a torque stick on lugs, does that count?

 

If you’re using a pneumatic wrench. They say torque sticks are useless for electric impact wrenches.

 

Really. That’s unfortunate news. I bought a set for my electric impact. Hmmmm
