    Can we talk dogs?

    Kind of a tough one, but a cool picture to share on this forum. Our 2.5yr old bernedoodle Oskar just got really sick and died a couple weeks ago. Took him to numerous vets, medicine, etc. but he just couldn't take it I guess. He was an awesome dog. My birthday was also a little over a week...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    I'm curious how old those mounts are, maybe the original (1990)? I think somebody before me had the idea to change them though, I didn't realize it before but once I got the passenger mount out I noticed all three bolts from the bracket to the block were loose :oops:. To remove the passenger...

    Passenger side was in the same shape. I know I know, they definitely had a few more miles left on them and I should be better with my money and time but preventative maintenance just gives me a piece of mind you know...

    So satisfying. I don't know what came over me but when I got that stud out I immediately took my pants off, jumped up on the bumper of the jeep and smashed two beers together overhead stone cold syle...

    I tried to use an aluminum tube to protect the weld from the head but could get it to fit with any room to weld a decent thickness. I built an alter out of old MJ parts, stole and sacrificed a neighbors goat, then just said screw it and gave it a shot. First nut I welded on loosened the bolt...

    So follow on question - The stud broke below the surface, any tricks to making sure that while I build up the stud I don't weld the stud to the head?

    It's cold, shop isn't heated, and I've been lazy delaying working on this thing... but back to it. I got an emissions test prior to SRS and failed. Replaced a bunch of vacuum hoses, valves, sensors, whatever and still failed emissions a few days ago; mechanic said there was a bad leak at the...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    After replacing a bunch of vacuum tubes, PCV valves, whatever I still failed emissions testing yesterday on the Comanche. Mechanic told me there was a really bad leak at the exhaust manifold so I'm in the process of pulling that apart. I've also starting on body work and getting ready to...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Completed the simple task of servicing and winterizing the boat and got it put away for the winter. I finished this project this spring and used the heck out of it this summer getting out on the lake 18 times! I'm very happy with how it turned out, everything worked flawlessly all Summer...

    That thing is so rad. I pray I never see a post about it being left in the drive and backed over or filled full of dirt and worms lol.

    1st Gen Tacoma - Flat beds?

    Holy cow, you're not kidding on the image search haha, I found one made out of wood and one that looked like half a spaceship glued onto the back. I agree w/ @xj_nate, just because it hasn't been done doesn't mean it can't be done and you're just the guy for the job. I'm here for it, if it...

    I prioritized the MJ to do list on my white board and checked enough off the list to take it out for the first time this past weekend and for the most part the MJ did great! A couple small projects before the trip... The battery's just been flopping around in this thing, I replaced the battery...

    Temp tag for the win, heading to SRS for the weekend! Reset the ECU and replaced the O2 sensor, I hope to put a lot of hours on it this weekend with fresh fuel and pass emissions when I return. But the body is so ugly... :rofl:

    Trying to get this thing on the road, failed the emissions test today. The cat and muffler and tube of the exhaust are all brand new (several idling hours or trips around the block). The guy that did the test said to go to the DMV and get a temp permit and drive it a bunch before I bring it...
