down with wood! + off-season plans, yeah — logbook Toyota 4Runner 2001
So, finally, my hands got to the hated by me overlays like "under the tree" in my cabin. Today everything was removed - from the torpedo, from the doors, from everywhere where it was. Result? car like a beard shaved off, rejuvenated)
now I’m thinking: leave it like that, or still paint it black for contrast? do not offer a carbon film)))
even since that time, standard routine maintenance has been carried out to change the oil, filter and injection of universal joints. By the way, when squirting, they found another point, which, it seems, no one has ever squirted! Horror! Somehow they squeezed out the old coke from there, smeared it. The song, the blows from below left when starting off) otherwise I kept thinking where they were coming from ...
Well, since autumn is already, it's time to count the chickens. at the end of the season, I roughly sketched out for myself what would need to be done for the next season:
1 — next season I will put AT rubber on this car. Which one I haven’t chosen yet
2 — completely redo the roof rack. As there is already an understanding, so it's up to the small
3- to replace the front seats with something more comfortable with lateral support.
4-replace the door upholstery
5-change your head to something with a large screen
6-replace the hood, although it still suffers
7-for a new trunk additional light
8-remove nafig gas from the car once and for all. I still don't use it, it just gets in the way!
9- replace the suspension
10- remove the breathers at least under the bumper
11-be smart with a sleeping bag in the car
12-replace the rear brakes, as well as oil seals and axle shaft bearings
13- sort out the front calipers + can replace the discs
14-in a good way, it would be necessary to make an anticorrosive frame and can also paint the body, but this is already hz))
15- wash the nozzles and damper
16- earn money for all this
17- rent a normal garage! Buy a welding machine and enjoy)))
that's about it for now and that's it
Yes, pieces of wood, as my wife says, are such a vile vulgarity. And also adds this same "buuee")))
here! I think so too, why actually I think to paint it in black. there will be a contrast. And since the seats are planned to be black with gray. it will be the most.
it seems to me that the pads look best when they match the color of the car or the color of the interior of the
third is not given!
There are many plans, it remains to implement everything. With the trunk such a story. I have it on the roof rails, which are attached to the grooves covered to the roof. because of the wheel on top, these same grooves walk a little on the roof from the load and the roof rubs under them. the metal is already bare. will rust. it is necessary to make the trunk directly into the grooves, without roof rails, so that it sits as tightly and lower as possible. I have already decided how to do it, it remains only to find a welder and take the drawings to him)
well, yes) It's just that the mt is erased very quickly, because whatever one may say, but 80% of the time is asphalt. And then all 90% of the time. Here it is necessary to choose something the most universal. Between AT and MT.
About the salon. If Surf's Rekar salon was lying around on every corner, I would have already bought it) But! maybe even the sled does not need to be redone there - threw out the old one, screwed on the new one. A dream ...
What about AT then? After all, the best AT is BFG MT :)))
Put the 3rd point from the surf Rekar's harnesses and you will be happy ...
we also sometimes have to go far to ride through the mud with a hard differential lock, otherwise you need to turn it on at least sometimes. but there is nowhere)
So I say ... And in our climatic zone, you still need to find dirt, mostly hard and dry soils.
I myself think about the seats … the back gets tired under the big runs of 1000 km a day.
I'll have to figure it out, but as for MT, I have 32MT right now and will take the 33rd in the spring. AT doesn’t ride in the mud) doesn’t ride at all) even considering the upcoming expeditions - only MT) if not extreme like Simex or TSLek, but the same Goodrich KM2 for example - I’ll take it)
Locks are a controversial thing, usually a winch is enough, and locks pull along and reinforced axle shafts and the danger of tearing them ... this is the last thing I'll do
