We had the rear seat down and all our bags and gear piled in the back, While moving some gear around in the back one of the straps on a bag got hooked on the pull knob for the seat. without realizing it I snapped the latch pull cl...

Re: New strut bar

I took the car to the desert 2 years in a row, took it off road. Both years I ended up popping the head gasket. After doing head gaskets like it was regular maintenance I decided if I wanted to abuse the car I should beef up the cooling system. Originally I went to the wrecking yard and measured rad...

Re: New strut bar

I wouldn't be apposed to making another one, or a couple more if I had the time. I wouldn't be able to get to making another one for a couple weeks. My carb is pieces. I'm waiting on parts before she goes back together. This one took me 3hrs to make. Now that I've made one I'm sure doing it again wo...

New strut bar

Its been a while since I posted, but I got a new phone with a great camera so I took pics of my work today and wanted to share. I've had a modified MR2 strut bar on my car for years. I also have a weber and the small air cleaner so it all fits nice under the hood. Some time back I modified the stock...

Re: Steering "U" joint

I got a hold of my dad last night. He has my first Tercel I wrecked out in his field. He was nice enough to pull the whole steering column for me this evening. Hes coming to my neck of the woods on Friday morning. So I'll have friday after work to see if I can simply swap parts over. I'm in Sacramen...

Re: Steering "U" joint

I just got done with rebuilding my warn out tie-rods only to find that the upper U joint, at the fire wall, has slop in it. All front end "clunks" are gone but this one :( Any advise on getting to that U joint? I pulled a U joint off a power steering rack at the junk yard, so with any luck...

Re: Its almost adventur time. Rack and Tent install.

Thats what I wanted for years, just the platform and put a dome tent on it. Then I shelled out the cash for the fancy one. If you get the dome tent set up post pics! I've thought about it so many times would be neat to see how it works in reality.

Driving out on day trips to the near by hot springs, or maybe we camp at a hot springs. Here is a video of a guy drivin...

Re: Its almost adventur time. Rack and Tent install.

Heck yeah, I like your old tent. I hope my tent last as long as yours has. The tent cost $1600. was a hard pill to swallow when I originally bought the tercel for $80. Yeah, the tercel was a shell when I bought it, but still. My friend pointed out that now the car is worth $1680 :mrgreen: But I figu...
