Good evening everyone.
Haven't been on too much lately so have tried to catch up on the end of the Aug thread and now the Sept one.
Finally got to put the 85 to work picking up some pellets for winter this past week. Kind of nice being able to let it earns its keep around here.
Been a pretty relaxed weekend so far - just spending it with the family.
Oh, and had the joy of experiencing a brown recluse bite a little over a week ago. Now there's a google image search that will keep you up at night.

Well, I started in on the 4Runner and discovered it needed a few additional parts that I didn't have time to run down and install before dark, so that project is the #1 priority next weekend. Brake pads, ball joints, wheel bearings, and axle assemblies. Should be as good as new providing I don't find the control arm bushings are shot.

I've done nothing and liked it
I put the transmission and transfer case mounts in my Kia Sportage last Saturday. Still need to do the u-joints.
Going to my friend's place in Humboldt to do them. I don't have a vice large enough and I believe he has a press as well.
Everytime I've tried doing u-joints, they've won.

Good morning all!!
RC, let me know what you need from under the dash. so I can be on the lookout. Lots of boxes to go through.
How is everything now that it should be cooling down a bit soon? Any new projects looming??

well not really a fake truck.. i am just setting the parts on a frame to kind of resemble a truck.. i hope to find new homes for a few of these old trucks.. i know there should be someone out there wanting to build some rat-rods...or maybe restore a old truck..
