Yotatech'r stopping in.....
I've read several great threads on this site. As well, I've seen quite a few Yotatech Members on here while fishing around myself, lol.... So I thought I'd give it a go, starting with the 'show us your 1st Gen 4Runner' thread, eh? lol. (I'm Chefyota4x4 on Yotatech.com, nice to meet ya all!)
I have almost totally built everything that's been done to this 4Runner. I've had 2 very LONG stretches with 'gremlinitus', due to a TERRIBLE machinists abuse of me
hahaha..... Yes, I can laugh now.... Anyhow, I wound up rebuilding the original motor that I had rebuilt.... Then I tossed it and started over, fresh/old block/crank, reusing only what I could, safely/effectively for my needs. Currently, I'm working on mounting my 60"x42" Con-Ferr Portal Rack to my Fiberglass Roof, ...and I found the method here, on Expedition Portal, I'd like to use in order to make it secure and solid! THANKS!
