[Ted]

Yea..11AM is a good time.

[Eric_N]

Lazy ass.

[Ted]

Well...I don't like to make noise before 11am to be considerate to my neighbors. Plus, I don't like getting up before 10am.

[Eric_N]

Plus, I don't like getting up before 10am.

Thats what I figured. Im cool with 11, its a 1 1/2 drive for me.

[larc68]

Well...I don't like to make noise before 11am to be considerate to my neighbors. Plus, I don't like getting up before 10am.

So we will be there at 9?

You still want the power steering stuff I got. If so, Ill bring it tom.

[Donkey]

I got a key to his house if anyone wants to show up at like 5-6 am. Not that i need a key to get in anyways.

[Ace_Laserna]

LOL.

I don't know how well Ted can shoot that new XD of his, but I know he can bang out some tight groups at 300 yards with that M1.

I think I would have to let you break in on your own Perv.

[Ted]

Eric,

Cornhole is coming down here tonight. We're just gonna load up Steve's tires in his taco. I'll have Steve PM u his address so you can just mail him a check. I just have way too much crap to do tomorrow.

[Eric_N]

Sounds good to me.

[Littletoy]

Cool Deal. Cornhole will deliver the tires to you tommorrow at Ted's. Ace said he was going to pm you my address. I assume he did that. I don't have internet at home so I can't check the board till Monday. If you need to shout at me my cell is 540-287-7982.

[Eric_N]

Oh by the way do a good job tommorrow supervising.http://smilies.vidahost.com/contrib/lilly/hmm3grin2orange.gif

Im gonna be the only one doing any work.

[Ted]

If you need directions, send me a PM. I'll give you address, and you can punch it into mapquest.

[Ted]

Im gonna be the only one doing any work.


There is plenty of work for all.

[Eric_N]

There is plenty of work for all.

Let me refrase that, Ill be one of the few people working while 5 others offer visual assistance.

[Ted]

It going to take more then one person to remove the transmission from my truck.

[Eric_N]

LOL, I thought you were doing basic maintenance items and such

[Eric_N]

Do you have a trans jack or something of the sort? I can bring mine down. And it only takes one person to remove a trans, I pulled mine out of the 91 with dual cases by myself.

[Ted]

Here is the list. I have been thinking about the clutch for sometime now. It's not a hard job with enough people. I did it myself in the 85 truck.

1) Rear breaks. Got new drums (Thanks Donnie), and I got a hardware kit for it today.
2) Replace header "y" pipe, and put in new O2 Sensor. I'm going to weld the front cat to the "y" pipe flange. Screw TRD, and their shitty design.
3) Change Engine Oil.
4) Run new antenna cable for 2M radio.
5) Install Mike's used Skid plate on my truck.
6) Do a general check for heath of truck. Tie rods, inner tie rod etc.
7) I do have no fancy engine mounts, I may install if time permittes.

[Ted]

I have a floor jack..a trans jack would be nice. If you have long 1/2 extensions, please bring them.

[locknload]

Does anyone have a single 1" steel lift block for cheap they could bring?

[Eric_N]

I have a floor jack..a trans jack would be nice. If you have long 1/2 extensions, please bring them.

My trans jack is an adaptor, it replaces the circular pad on the jack with a flat plate that is adjustable, ill bring it down. Ive got a few lonf 1/2" extentions as well as 1/2" swivel impact sockets and my electric impact. Im gonna pack it all up in a little bit, it will make things go alot quicker.

[BeaterToyota]

I think Kajo has some on his rig. You can check with him to see where he got them.

[larc68]

let me check. i may still have some. all i have are the blocks, no ubolts

[larc68]

you fools get everything done?

[Ted]

I finally got the pilot bearing out today. I used wet newspaper, and it took an hour of pouding.

[locknload]

Please explain. I have not heard that trick before.

[locknload]

You gotta explain this one. Wet newspaper?

[Eric_N]

I finally got the pilot bearing out today. I used wet newspaper, and it took an hour of pouding.

Awsome. Ill be down on Tuesday to help you get it buttoned up.

[Ted]

Sounds good. I removed the cat, and mocked the new Y pipe. When the transmission is back in, I'm to see it will fix with the cat attached to the Y pipe. If it does, the cat is getting welded to the Y pipe. That should fix the leaks.

[Ted]

You gotta explain this one. Wet newspaper?

You stuff wet news paper in to the cavity behind the pilot bearing. Then use a 1/4 socket extension, and pound on it. Then add more wet paper, and keep it up until it comes out.

[Eric_N]

Cool. We can throw your new shifter in also during reassembly. When are you putting the pics up of our fun day in the Moab dirt shower?

[ptrautne]

Wheel bearing grease works well too

[Ted]

Here you go:

[Eric_N]

Ted, your woodgrain seats are hot.

[locknload]

They tried grease first. I didn't know wet newspaper would 'hydraulic', that's just crazy.

Eric looks like he's sleeping in his first pick :p.

[Eric_N]

After you left, I just layed under the truck forever. The floor was nice and cold.

[Ted]

If I pass state inspection tomorrow, it's on.

[Eric_N]

Have you driven it yet? Hows the new clutch?

[Ted]

I have not driven it yet. The batter was too low this AM, plus I had to work.
