'99 4Runner Build: Clara

[frieed]

So when I show up with my JK they think "There goes the neighborhood" ?

haha, two people, quite the crowd!

My neighbors love it when a bunch of toyotas line the street in front of my house. Seriously, they think it's cool.

 

[sixstringsteve]

They haven't commented on the JK yet. They just know I'm a toyota guy and they always laugh when the street is littered with yotas. You and your JK are always welcome. Are you coming tonight Eric?

 

[frieed]

I'm really tempted, if for no other reason than to meet a few more people.
Gotta check the dinner plans and make sure the family doesn't starve...


The top of my JK does look like an FJ Cruiser, maybe the neighbors are confused

 

[sixstringsteve]

the family is invited too. I know how much your wife loves wrenching.

 

[sixstringsteve]

sounds like we may get up to 5 guys there. I'll order pizza and we'll see how much we can get done.

No thats at my house

Make it 6 - I should be there around 5:30.

 

[sixstringsteve]

Excellent

 

[frieed]

I'm in as well. If it would help, I can rig temporary power to your compressor. I have 1/2" and 3/8" impact tools as well.

I just checked and your compressor draws 15A. I would recommend we use 12ga wire and a 20A breaker. I did mine with
10ga and 30A breaker because I plan to go with a 2-stage compressor.

I have plenty of 12ga Romex

 

[sixstringsteve]

Sweet. Let's do it. If you could bring your impact tools, that'd be good. You keep telling me how much I'm missing out, I can't wait to find out for myself.

Does anyone have any of those work lights they could bring? We could use a couple lights like this:

 

[frieed]

Will the cord you have on your compressor reach the new electric panel or should I bring wire?
You have air hoses?

 

[sixstringsteve]

I have air hoses. It'll reach the dryer, inside the house, but it's not going to reach the new panel. I can move the compressor over closer to the panel if we want.

I also have a smaller 110v compressor, but it has a small tank.

 

[frieed]

I'll bring wire... we can decide on move-vs-rewire when I get there

 

[UVRUGBY]

Wrenching party!!! Can't make this round. Good luck though.

[sixstringsteve]

ah yes, I know that rig well. Super clean rig, and really well built. Thanks for posting the video.

 

[Thardy]

Sorry I didn't make the party. My wife came home from work and said lets go get new phones, I'de waiting months for her to say that!!

 

[sixstringsteve]

Many many thanks to Eric, Andrew, and Trevor. You guys rock. Trevor and I got the front suspension all buttoned up at 1230. It doesn't look like it sits any higher, Which is fine by me. Im glad to have the ball joint pressing out of the way. If it werent for eric and his revolutionary technique for removing press fit parts, id still be out there. Thanks for all your help guys, you rock.

 

[jentzschman]

Good times man! Glad we got her all done up. Looking forward to seeing more of the evolution.

 

[zukijames]
