    Toyota power steering jumped a tooth?

    It's probably a celica box. There should also be a wedge block between it and the frame.

    Where do you buy hand tools?

    Knipex for pliers and matco or snapon for screwdrivers and such. I bought a pair of these years ago from the mac guy and they're great for ironing edges on sheetmetal. :cool: http://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/05903380?src=pla&cid=PLA-Google-PLA+-+Test&CS_003=7867724&CS_010=05903380

    radiator/heater core repair?

    Fill it up with a clr/water mixture and let it sit for a couple days. Me and a friend tried it on a sami radiator, and poured half the weight of the radiator out in scale. I'm sure all that scale= thinner core, but it should at least work till you can find a replacement. As much as I hate to...

    12 Tacoma brakes locked.

    It left for toyota today, it sounds like the decel sensor is bad, but I'll update with the diagnosis. Good old technology. Wonder who mandated that the brakes need to be electronically controlled. :stirpot: :corn:

    12 Tacoma brakes locked.

    I think it has to do with the electronic braking system needing recalibrated.. :rolleyes: It did have an abs code, but it went away after I swapped wheel sensor wires and reset the code. It has (or had) a code for master cylinder pressure value not 0 or something along those lines, but it seems...

    12 Tacoma brakes locked.

    A question for the techs. I have a 12 Tacoma that hit the left front corner and I replaced an apron, upper rail and core support, sent it to paint and when I went to get it to put together, the brakes are locked up. There was a left front wheel speed sensor wire pulled apart in the accident, but...

    ? about possible diamond frame(sas)

    There's some holes in the bottom of the frame that can be used for measurements and cross measurements. Measure from the edge of the hole to one of the holes in your hangers, both front to back and crossed from side to side. If any of your hangers are off, it'll tell you which one, as well as...

    ? about possible diamond frame(sas)

    Generally speaking, 4-5mm is within spec on a laser measuring system. So your 1/8" sounds about right. Are you putting toy axles under a zook with leafs?

    Which welder?

    I've been meaning to reply to this. I have been really happy with my miller 211mvp. I run it mostly on 220 at work now, and even thinner sheetmetal is easy to dial in using their chart on the door. There have been a few times I've had to drag it somewhere in the shop that doesn't have 220, and...

    The new "Crashfab"

    When me and my dad did our old garage, we had an electrician my dad worked with come in and swap the 100 amp box in the house for a 200 amp, then we put the 100 amp box in the garage and wired it in ourselves. I was able to run welder/compressor/exhaust fan plus lights without tripping anything...

    2009 tahoe randomly looses power. Ideas???

    I know, seems the site went down right after I posted. :haha: If you still need it scanned, I'll be down at the shop sometime tomorrow after 10am. Edit: Your box is full.

    Project Rusty, turning a rusty turd into a slightly less rusty turd...

    Looks great. :awesomework: Thats a good idea on the swing out rack. I've been wanting to make something like that out of the tire carrier on the LJ forever now, just never got around to it.

    If you can bring it down to kent tomorrow, I can scan it.

    Project Rusty, turning a rusty turd into a slightly less rusty turd...

    Oh, just replacing the hub bolts I sheared trying to climb on the new trailer. :redneck: One side climbed up on it, and the other side climbed under. :haha: Also might wire in the second o2 and switch fans out for one I have at work...

    Project Rusty, turning a rusty turd into a slightly less rusty turd...

    Damn, that's looking really good Les. :cool: I have a couple things to do to the LJ this saturday. then I'm finally ready to get out in the woods again. We should get a trip together soon.

    shortening leaf springs?

    I did a yj conversion a couple years ago on a tintop that had toyota springs cut about 4" from each end, overlapped and welded all 4 sides. :redneck: It drove on and off the trailer just fine. :haha:

    got a ? about spools.

    I ran a spool in the rear of my dd sami for awhile, and aside from the tire wear, I preferred it over a lockright. The only time I had it surprise me was when I tried diving across traffic into a parking lot and the ass-end wanted to come around when i hit the brakes a little hard. :haha: let...

    Rear mount radiators. ...Who has one?

    Yep, a seat. :redneck: I kept meaning to make a shield for the hoses at least, but never got around to it. Eventually I want to make a halfcab back for it, and move the rad up and back so it blows the air out instead of right at my fuelcell. :redneck: I know, awesome planning, but thats what...

    Rear mount radiators. ...Who has one?

    I used 1.5" exhaust tube on mine, made a couple of small bends with a pipe kinker, and all the bigger bends were sections of radiator hose. I just went to shucks and had them take me back to the radiator hoses so I could pick out a few with the most bends that were 1.5". The only thing I don't...

    Project Will's Willys

    Cool rig. I've seen a couple on cl and been tempted, but I don't need anymore projects. Fwiw, weld through primer does not make a good longterm corrosion protection. If you're worried about rust, get a good body wax and spray it in every hole you can when you've finished all your welding and...
