Grrrr... anyone wanna buy a used 4runner?! I'm so sick of the stupid nanny traction control on the dumb thing. Either that or I just gotta figure out how to perm. disable it.

gotta be something you can do. some bypass plug or something? i actually wish mine had a tc option. the other day i had a hell of a time trying to go up that slight incline in a parking garage, concrete was wet. damn thing was wheel hoppin and just refusing, with people behind me and shit... typical morning commute ****ery.

Nah, this crappy TC wouldn't have helped you. Only if you start slipping at an angle

thzero · 02-01-2015, 12:36 PM

So I think I finally found out where my issue with the 'heat' with the Jeep was at. Pulled the tekin apart to check the bearings (eventhough metal shielded only, still great!) before I put it on the Clod and found this:

So obviously the pinion was rubbing against the motor case, which would translate into heat.

Guess that was the only place I didn't check for rubbin.

badhoopty · 02-01-2015, 04:00 PM

i had the same issue chris but with that punisher shaft i gave you being too tight between my tranny and tcase. i dunno if you guys remember but when i first got timmy built it would shut down about every minute. i thought the novak was getting too hot but it was just the system going into locked motor mode.

anyway, glad you got the mystery hot dink figured out. ;)

thzero · 02-01-2015, 05:29 PM

Yeah... may have to grind a pinon down to avoid that issue.

Ok, I'm just about done with the basement shop renovation. It'll be nice to have a fully equipped fabrication/welding workspace at home and CNC/shop access at work.

It ain't much but, I feel like I've accomplished much with just a desk & chair in the corner so, this is a major upgrade in comparison.

I had a chance to play with the new welder a little bit, so far so good. There's room for improvment but, I'm pickin' it up. When I finish customer projects I plan to get started on building chassis'. I'm excited.

Hey guys,

I thought you might like this.

I got a winter scaler. Well... its not a scaler yet, but it will be soon. I was planning to do the scale build before I ran it but considering we had a blizzard today I couldn't resist getting it outside.

motorbikemike · 02-01-2015, 08:05 PM

The Blizzard really living up to its name...

bronc4now · 02-01-2015, 09:25 PM

Making that scale $$

Die-Laughing · 02-02-2015, 12:08 AM

I was able to achieve some cool stuff with the welder tonight..

These are some attempts at joining 3/16" mild steel rod..

This is .030" stainless plate.. One is a lap joint and then I sort of boxed in a few pieces.. Turned out pretty ok I think for how thin it is and how noob I am.. Thats an m3 nut..

Then I welded some old scrap spools together.. Stainless & aluminum. I'm pleased with the aethetics of the SS weld in this pic.. Sexy!

I experimented & scraped a lot of material in the making of these pics. I'm much more a fan of dealing with steel than aluminum. Either way, progress!

bronc4now · 02-02-2015, 06:33 AM

That's dead sexy rick! Man no more grinding mig welds is worth the price in gold...i really want one but mini lathe drill press and band saw are next on my list of garage toys to get...

bronc4now · 02-02-2015, 06:55 AM

Like yesterday making these a saw would of been awesome ! My wife said doesn't your welder cut too ..i was like no that's a plasma cutter i need one

any way ..1/4" plate steel for strength and weight...hack saw and hand drill baby

Die-Laughing · 02-02-2015, 07:03 AM

holy beefy plates! That must've been a chore to hack saw. Look into one of those portable band saw & stands.. I've only had mine for a week and use it daily.. Its too easy. Lol

Killer plow setup.

Mine has a button you push and its off. I leave it on though. It works. What's wrong with yours?
