Luckily I'm the anti Arhie Bunker.


Fucker didn't budge. I figure the good news is it has nowhere to go so I'm going to drive it like this for a short trip, check it. I'm leaving the driver side alone, fucking burnt & it's already 98 degrees and 30%

 

Compressor, bushings end links and deeze fucking nuts came. Nuts say they fit, THEY DON'T.

I took the end links out of their box to look at them & DISAFUCKINGPEARED them into the Bermuda Triangle that is my garage.




0& IT"S HOTTTTTT

 

just here for the upside down spring install and subsequent bitching

 

U gon' b waiting & disappointed.

lol

 

naw dude, you just don't realize it yet.
It's upside down. Trust.

 

Springs are like USB plugs. Always takes three tries.

 

especially if you cut them.

 

Front SCHWAY!


0& the compressor issue was the thermal breaker popped cause it was 10000000000 degrees.

 

Front TRD sway & third row Husky mat.

 

box of CD's huh...
it's time...

 

It took months to get all of our CDs into iTunes. Note their location. An old box in the garage.

lol

Got up at 4, it was already 97, 105 in the garage. & it's humid so no work on the truck today. This is my idea of hell. A garage full of parts and an inability to install.

 

I can't believe the limiting factor is your desire not to be hot.

 

There is "hot" and bursting into flames, eyes filled with salty searing sweat, heat prostration.

I just spent 20 minutes maintaining the pool, with a sauna like breeze and I'm so hot I'm ready to get into an icecube bath. (jumped into the near jacuzzi temp pool instead)

Hot is 90s with a breeze, this is like trying to work in a sauna.

Maybe if it were needed to drive (although I might pay someone for that) but not for arguably silly mods.

 

i try not to work on my car during the long ass summer here in Houston...May to September.
if i'm modding my car, I'll plan to do it in March or November/December.

if the car needs work during the long ass summer, I just send it to a shop. lol

 

qft

If I get a cooler period before the end of summer I'll do it but at least now with 2/3rds of the kids here I don't have the inclination to do it.

 

helping friends on the other hand, i'll suck it up and work in unbearable conditions.

July 2020 - Engine swapping an IS300


my orange shirt in the passenger seat is absolutely drenched, probably fucked up dude's seat. LOL

 

JFC, crabman ... That's some MM level scary right there. Do *you* have a pit dug under your house with some people down in it?

 

 

Watching Dr. Strangelove. Best line ever!

 

This is why I don't have friends.

lol

 

It's too hot to install a third row floor mat?

 

No, that is in.

It is too hot to R&R Front struts, sway, rear springs, shocks & sway bar.

 

@justnspace
Yeah, it's not THAT hot here but I get annoyed at anything stopping me from tackling things I want to get done.

 

I am not happy about the situation, reality is it's just too uncomfortable to do any extended time in the garage.

 

Just r&rd the 20 lugs and am sweating my ass off.

 

Front & middle row I got from someone on the Tundra forum. Third row was new, cost 75% of what I paid for the front & second row used.

 

yeah, shit aint no fun. I changed rear brakes last weekend at like 7pm

 

It's still 110 at 7pm.

:P

 

oh i was drenched in sweat, but day light was fleeting.

 

No thank you.

 

post a pic like Justin

 

I could never hope to aspire to be like Justin.

 

when i grow up, I want to be like e30cabrio

 

I'm not gonna grow up

 

My wife says I'm 59 going on 7. I say that makes her a cradle robber.

lol

 

Weird occurrence happening again.....

 

Rear shocks are done.

"Only" 90 degrees & 85% humidity this morning.

 

These just in!

Cat anti theft skidplate & anti-tamper 5 sided bolts.



Fitted cargo area mat.

 

Greetings from Base Camp.



First full use of the Sequoia, we loaded it up with six adults and two dogs, an 80lb Shepherd & a 60 pound Staffordshire. Everyone was comfortable, everything fit. I put a bag on the roof but bet I could have gotten it in back behind the 3rd row. It's surprising how much space there is back there.



A few from last night & this morning.

 

Last morning here & a few of a very old lady (15)
