I’m headed out on a 2,000 mile road trip with Lohnes and Nutting at the ungodly hour of 2:00 am, so I’m writing this in the hopes that I don’t see anything like these photos on our adventure. No particular theme this week, just a collection of random butchery:
DI-Why
Not sure if I’m more horrified by the header or by the pink flamingo pillow it’s sitting on.
We Put the Flex in Flex Plate
In the “business,” we call those “lightening holes.”
Torque Monster
I once twisted a driveshaft like this in a 24-foot Ryder truck. I was asked to find a new job soon afterward.
Two-Fer
Not sure if I like the welded exhaust or the bungee cord exhaust hanger better.
For Rent:
Lovely condo. Sleeps three, heat, electricity included. Gorgeous views from the patio.
The Bolt and the Beautiful
Loctite is your friend.
Improved Design
New for 2014, the revised Toyota 22R includes inspection windows on the timing cover.
The Case of the Missing Transfer
No matter how hard I pull on that stick, I can’t engage four-wheel drive.
did they really need to put that transfer case on the trash can in order for it to be clear that it was to be discarded?
What, that’s not the right way to do a wood lined bed?
(They’re a common topic of discussion on the ’67-’72 Chevy Truck forum, but take a ton of maintenance.)
the wood bed is probably used for hunting—guys will put their dogs on them,or use it to scout around
A friend of mine has a setup like that he puts on his truck around deer season. He likes it better than a stand.
The wood would be just as inconvenient as a plastic cover if you wanted to put something tall in the bed.. But they are sturdier, as well as heavier.
The header, while gross looking, is not particularly bad. The wrap bothers me more than the welding does.
The wrap might be to avoid cooking the master cylinder. While it’s booger welded, it could be a lot worse.
