Alignment

Installed camber bolts, got alignment. Van drives good now.


More Tires

Well my KO2 with the sidewall puncture and half-assed temp plug has started to leak. This is a good excuse to replace it, which I was planning on doing, but hadn't gotten to yet.

Gonna trash the rear punctured tire, demote its neighbor to the spare, swap the fronts to the back, and put the 2 new tires up front.


ATF Leak

Something is dripping onto my exhaust. When I'm stopped at a light, there will be periodic puffs of smoke from under the hood. Guessing it's the passenger side diff seal leaking ATF, since I just swapped that CV axle. Oh well, poo poo should come apart easier this time since everything is slathered in copper anti-seize.

I want to do a trip first, though. I'll keep an eye on the ATF level. I don't think this leak is bad enough to cause a fire, probably. I think it's dripping on the exhaust between the header/precat and the main cat.

Maybe this time you'll have them mounted properly with the white letters out. :colbert:

Also, I still stand by my suggestion of some "TRD Off Road" stickers.

Oh, wait a sec. I remember I broke an ABS sensor wire once. It totally kills the speedo. So I guess that's out.

I'd you're only killing the ABS during hairy descents or other low speed offroad tomfoolery do you really need the speedo at that time?

That depends on the car I suppose. I had a t-bird with a flaky speedo and if it wasn't registering the odometer wasn't either.

Thirding BFH and heat. Add in a big rear end adjustable wrench in there for some bending leverage.

Should I use this local vendor for my metal plating needs, y/n?

Oh yeah, this is your place.
