Set one up inline on each drive wheel with a button you hold to lock. Pump brakes, hold button, apply gas. I would also think those drift style hydraulic brake handles but split left/right could work. You could feather a side then. That would do a RF/LR split and LF/RR if you just tied it into the existing system.

I would love to see this thing with a snorkel. I feel like I can always tell the stuff that actually off-roads vs the stuff that doesn't and a snorkel on the real ones is awesome. Also, idk how well this would work, but strap a tiny war boy action figure in front of the snorkel and spray the nitrous from his mouth into it.

Raluek posted:The one that I've always seen recommended here, which I was planning on buying for myself when it comes time to do brakes in the spring, is OEM 24364, Was recommended this for my civic and was tickled pink using it. It makes single or double flares. I wound up buying a similar looking one that did bubble flares as well but it sucked. Worked, but was just so poorly made. I've done -3 an single flare brake stuff years ago iirc. It was the easiest thing but that's all I remember.

For those rubber mats it depends on how miserable it is to get out. If it looks easy I'll poke a small hole and center punch through it so I can cut a hole out of the car and have it line up with where I drill. If it looks like a pain to remove or will get torn up in the attempt I'll cut a square out with a razor blade.

You need one of each? I'd need rough overall dimensions but that looks like something I could knock out on a Saturday pretty easy.

That's what I was wondering too and was about to post. I would definitely try just unplugging a sensor (drive if necessary to trip the light) and reconnect and test it before doing any wiring. I would recommend making sure the abs does work even if the light goes out. Its probably good but computer programs can be touchy.

Definitely get the rubber style, way less likely to break off if it rubs something.

I'd rate the wheel bearing making noise as an asap repair. It's a part that either works perfectly or starts eating itself as soon as it doesn't. Wheel falls off is probably pretty far out but it will start making ever increasing amounts of heat and it will pump that heat into the axle and brakes.

Drain will help a lot and that doesn't look to horrible. Make sure you put the plug back in before you drop it, and be ready for a sudden weight shift when it starts to move. Once one corner drops any remaining gas will head for the low spot and start to throw it's balance off. With the drain it won't be bad but it will happen. What I can't tell is if you'll have to drop it a little to disconnect anything. If you can get it all unplugged before lowering great. If not you'll want a helper to keep it balanced on the jack while you disconnect whatever's left. I got to watch a pickup do half a front flip of a lift one time when the full gas tank got unbolted.

Put it on hinges so you can say "check out my sweet grill" before you flip it forward and make dinner. Serious note, looks good. Metal fab is fun and satisfying isn't it?

How thick is it? Propane or mapp might do 1/8" slowly but that's a big heatsink. Oxy acetylene if you have it would be quick. Can't hurt to try if option b is cut it off. Heat it till it's barely orange and it should move easily with some hammering. Quenching idk. The blacksmithing thread has all the metallurgy nerds.

Helicoil. You'll need a helicoil tool and tap long enough to reach through all that stuff, or get stuff out of the way. Technically you're supposed to drill oversize then tap but I've had good luck just going in with the new tap very gently. Like 1/4 turn at a time.

Hoist would work. Option b is this https://www.harborfreight.com/1000-lb-capacity-engine-support-bar-96524.html Depends on how it's mounted but it's probably all off the subframe so will need some kind of support. I'd get a hoist if there's garage space for it. Useful for all kinds of stuff.

ryanrs posted:Ugh, tapping this hole is unnerving. I keep telling myself that a 5/8" tap is actually really loving strong, as long as I drive it straight and don't put undue side loads on it. I have a 11" tap wrench, which is probably slightly too small. Make me a print or 3d model and I can whip that up on a Saturday.

On doing tie rods while you're in there, no matter what you do you'll need an alignment after. Weigh the parts cost vs another alignment when one goes bad. One possibly cheap light and handy tool would be a pair of toe plates, or something that would work like them. https://www.amazon.com/Longacre%C2%AE-Racing-Aluminum-Plates-Magnets/dp/B000VAOHB2 It'll get you very close. Not perfect milage from your tires on the highway close but more than enough for off roading.

Yeah, it'll be a bent wheel level hit. If it just bends you can adjust it out. If the joint pops you're stuck.
