    • Overlanding adjacent

      Overlanding? Off-roading? Softroading? I don’t know but I went on a little journey this past weekend that started off with a night camping in the desert then driving through a canyon. It was rad. The truck handled it like a champ and then it didn’t and I had to replace the battery and starter in a gas station parking lot.
      Here are some photos that will be posted out of order

      Then I saw a cleaner but IFS doppelgänger of my truck and a ratty 280z

    • RE: Sabine Schmitz is getting turn 1 of the Nürburgring named after her

      @essextee This line from The Drive article got me

      "Renaming the first corner of the Nordschleife is even better though. Now, whenever you cross the start/finish line at track, Sabine Schmitz will be ahead, and every lap will start with her sending you on your way."

    • I love it already

      Bought a truck! It’s a bit rough around the edges but it will be a fun relatively cheap project. 1984 Toyota pickup. Dx? 5 speed. 4x4. Sunroof. 115k miles and a rebuilt engine 2k miles ago. Going to work great as a second vehicle. First things to fix are a turn signal, driver side window is off it’s track and there is no passenger seat belt.

    • Taking this polished turd to C&C tomorrow

      I usually take the truck because I don’t have to clean it and park on the outer area but I haven’t driven the Subaru in a minute. It’s been dusty and dirty so I have it a slight clean tonight.
      Before doesn’t really show how caked in dust it was

      I’m really loving the foam cannon I got. It might not do the best job but it still beats the quarter DIY spot.

      I still have tons of water spots and the paint is not great in most spots but there are a few spots it cleans up nice.

      It’s a mess but I still love this car. It will be dirty tomorrow. White wheels and black paint are such a pain. It’s semi tucked away for 8-10 hours

    • Just in case anyone was wondering

      An 03 wrx wagon fits pretty nicely in a shipping container.

      This is basically my garage now so I wanted to make sure I can pull it in and at least access the engine bay and walk around it relatively easily. I knew it would fit just because cars do come over in containers and not all roll on roll off. Luckily I’m fairly skinny and can open the door enough to get out so no weird rolling the window down and climbing out.

    • We’re back!

      After about 4-5 slow weeks, the truck is back!
      Carb rebuilt and it finally runs! At least, I drove it to the gas station and back.

      Not entirely sure what the issue was but I took of the air horn and got the needle seat slightly tighter, the idle cut solenoid didn’t have a o ring on the end that supposed should have been there this whole time, and I messed around with the idle air mix and idle speed screw. Somehow got it running after that.

      It was idling generally fine and I backed it out, slipped on the ice a bit and it stalled going forward. Wouldn’t restart but I went and tweaked the idle speed screw a little and it fired back up.

      Drove down the street a bit where it seemed fine but then wanted to die again while turning around but I have it some gusto and we made it back. Some more tweaking and I took off for the gas station.

      Started off fine but at some point it started to barely take any throttle input and sputtering. I was also super low on gas that had been sitting a while so possibly the culprit there.

      Gassed up, continued to tinker a bit with screws and headed back. Pulled strong but there is a bit of hesitation on initial acceleration. Not really sure what’s going on there.

      We will see what happens tomorrow when I try to drive it to work for a bigger shakedown. I truly was just in here turning screws hoping for the best with little idea if any of it was helping or which way to even turn the screw. Carb tuning is some sort of witchcraft so I’ll be making some sacrifices at the pentagram tonight

    • RE: FJ is F'ing but not J'ing. Open lung surgery. Or the carburetor bowls behaves like my bank account

      @Darkbrador I had some similar issues with my 22r but replaced so much that it’s hard to pinpoint what it could have been. The spacer/gasket below the carb was one thing that seemed to help. Also did a new spacer on the mechanical fuel pump and new hoses when I replaced that

      @Darkbrador have you tried setting the float to allow more gas in to the bowl?

    • RE: The perks of owning a fleet

      @BurntClutches The truck generally runs fine but needs plenty of bodywork. Sunroof leaks a bit, driver door is misaligned and you get tons of wind noise. The Battery charge light stays on for a while before it charges back up but I haven't had issues getting it to start so that can gets kicked down the road.
      The Subaru is a Subaru and burns oil but also has an occasional poof of smoke out the exhaust. I imagine it's either me messing up the last time I had PCV lines off or I have burnt valves. Should probably try to fix that sooner rather than later.

      They both run and work if needed but things need to be fixed as always
