General Tech What did you work on Today?

[DaveB]

These are the tranny/transfer case mounts from the old Suburban project I have been working on. I can't imagine driving around with mounts like these.

Wiring by the light of the moon!!!! Well, prepping in the warm garage then wiring by the light of the moon




True romance

I refer to many of my projects as “nonsense”, but this one truly is. A couple DOM tubes (one slipped inside as an axle), some hole-sawing, weld/paint, re-purposed fancy billet end caps, and I’ve got a forward tilting hood/grille. At the very least, shock adjustments will be easier. 🤷‍♂️

Bye bye crappy Toyota carb and associated 80,917 vacuum lines




Yummy EGR

What's replacing it?

Weber 32/36. Nothing fancy just less finicky

 

[Rot Box]

Doing a little cleanup on my friends sons KLX300. Intake valves are too tight and the carb needs some work…

Weber 32/36. Nothing fancy just less finicky

Popular upgrade back in the day on 4.2L Jeeps. Depending on orientation, you’ve got the option of it being starved for fuel going up or down steep obstacles. 😂

My grandpa used to tell me stories and I don't know how true they are, of having to Baja the Model T in reverse to get up steep gnarly hills to keep the carb from starving.

Probably won’t see anything more than a dirt road, if it vibrates too much I think the rust holding the body together might vaporize

Is that a 20r?

Dad had to do this in our VW Type 2 more than once. I dunno if it was the carb or just lower gearing in reverse that did the trick tho.

 

[UNSTUCK]

I preferred the motocraft 2100 carb swap on Jeep’s over the Weber. Is that a thing with the Toyota’s?

My grandpa had the same story. He dated a girl that lived in the Avenues and had to drive up there in reverse.

My grandpa lived in the avenues his whole life. On 13th ave,

[Hickey]

The Avenue are just a jump track for the average West High student and his shitbox.

I had a couple early skateboarding disasters in the avenues.

Best (worst) 10 speed wreck I ever witnessed there too.

Rear filler panels are almost done for the farm truck, the roll pans for these trucks never look right.





Added a little bead rolling to the top panel to kind of match the running boards.

It should work great, the Weber would be my go-to as well for simplicity and tuning.
