I suppose that I could tell you about my day as the activity is slow. A couple of days ago my tacoma spit the bearings out of the idler pulley resulting in a melted timing belt (have you ever seen grease turn into superglue?).
I'm having the regular crankbolt issues, so I decided to put an impact wrench on to break it loose. The vibration rattled a ratchet off the bumper which proceded to hit me on the ear. This also insured that I don't have a/c anymore as well. The only 19mm short socket in sight was a 3/8" drive. The swivel that I had to use lost the pin (I narrowly escaped another blow to the head).
Off to Sears I go to get a heavier duty 1/2" swivel. After about 5 minutes, this one loses a pin. No near miss on this one.
I decided to put the pickup in reverse and try to break the bolt loose with a breaker and cheater. This caused my truck to inch forward onto the fan pulley.
I can't win today.. maybe my luck will be better tomorrow (after at least a six pack).
I think it is a bit of all of it.
I try to post up the runs that I go on, buildups that I do.
not much action.
comments only come from a hand full of people.
Busy with school, can barely log-in to validate new users...Getting ready to buy a totalled 300m to put motors and parts into my intrepid...Might do a O/T article on that.
4Runner is gonna get parked soon and drive the intrepid. Just paid for the rest of the machine work on the 7mgte the other day

Crank bolts, I have been really lucky cause I don't remember having a problem getting them off. But, living in CA and AZ, my vehicles haven't been exposed to the eastern type nasty weather.

Here in AZ, I hear there is talk about some of the trails being closed. Since I really haven't wheeled seriously since about June of 1999, I only get the skinny on what's going on from my friends that are still active in trail running.
I have yet to really start on my new old 1986 Xtra Cab. I've been a big slug lately.
