  • The part of the restoration that bothered me the most was trying to figure out how to cost effectively recondition this badly corroded transmission. Mission complete!

    Sarah please get a work table to get yourself off the ground and have things at a workable height. A 4x4' 3/4" plywood, some 2x4"s , wood screws and castors plus an hour and your golden. They also make metal ones for when you are washing the larger parts inside/outside. Shoot they even make scissor adjustable work tables .

    The truck is going to be nice when you're done. You said it wouldn't be a daily driver and even if it was keep in mind that 4x4's generally should be put into 4 wheel drive once a month for at least a few miles, which will keep the seals from drying out on it and potentially leaking later on. Love what you're doing to it.

    In the 90’s we used to build exhaust systems for the essex 3.0 and 3.4L with 63mm after the headers a freeflow 63 mm centre box and the just before the rear outlet we would reduce the diameter to 50mm and add in a 50 mm freeflow box and then finally a 63 tailpipe. The effect of the 50mm was like a venturi that scavenged the pipe further back. It also kept the noise levels close to spec. the power delivery was way smoother and better fuel consumption as well.

    Hey Sarah, i’m glad the worst is over that’s always a great feeling. You might’ve seen this when the new tundra was having turbo issues they were removing the cab to work on them. You’re probably planted to do so but before you put the cab on turn the engine over by hand with the transmission in gear and a neutral you can never be too careful. Have a great one as always🐧🐧🐧👍

    Every nut and bolt is what it should be and where it should be. Showroom floor quality restoration! 👌
    A quick side note: while POR-15 looks pretty and can do great on prepped and clean surfaces, it can't hold a candle to oil-based corrosion protection ("oil spray") up here in the rust belt. All "cured" undercoat is subject to damage by flinging road debris, and any breach invites salt and calcium brine to inhabit the area between the coating and the metal. If said undercoat was applied to dirt, oil, grease, wet rust, etc., corrosion occurs at an exponential rate compared to leaving the surface bare.
