One take, shoot from the hip, no edits, you get what you get, pure vanity and some how to's I've learned from working on my 80s Toyotas and various other hobbies. Don't like, don't subscribe. I don't care.
Renovating my 100 year old $10,000 house
We will be turning this 2 unit apartment house back into a single family home.
We have set a budget for everything including all structural/building projects, electrical and plumbing, full kitchen and bath updates, floor refinishing, interior painting, appliances, HVAC needs, lighting, and all materials of no more $20,000 (hoping for less) with all labor being completed by me and my husband.
We're saving/keeping/reusing as much original material as possible and utilizing mostly used/salvaged fixtures/appliances found at local Habitat for humanity stores and FB market place.
Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage.

Maybe try a firm brush and scrub it while its steaming? Im sure you will whip it!
@2Strokes_N_Toyotas I'm going to continue experimenting with methods but so far I discovered a pull scraper works a lot better than a push scraper and letting the water soak for a much longer period of time (several hours) is working really well. I have to sand them no matter what this is just the preliminary round to get the thick adhesive off.
👀 Goes to demonstrate it's not scrapable... and then scrapes up a fair amount of junk from the floor 🤨🙂 I'd try a sharper blade next time. Maybe even pick up an air powered scraper/chisel.
@4by_yotaguy373 I would never use an air powered chisel on 120 year old oak floors. And scraping it one flake at a time like that would take years. Gotta have a better strategy.

Make your engine run worse. Great idea!
@fluxcapacitor1621 This won't make your engine run worse. It's only function is to send air to the intake on a cold start when you are at idle. Once your engine is at operating temperature this valve closes and serves no further engine performance functions. As I mentioned in the video if you delete it you may need to apply a bit of gas pedal to keep the throttle plate slightly open while the engine warms up if it's cold outside since you no longer have the auxiliary air passage this valve provides. A malfunctioning valve especially one stuck open at operating temp could negatively effect engine performance. Thus deleting it may be a good option for some who cannot repair or afford to replace it. Please refer to my "Everything you ever wanted to know about IACV" video for a more in depth explanation of the function of this component.
Here is a link to the video I mentioned. ua-cam.com/video/XJpcveKerCo/v-deo.htmlsi=1B5YTLXW0bec022a
Where is this?
@@DanielPowless Saginaw, Michigan.
Michigan seems like a dream to me now It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
@alexxbaudwhyn7572 Did you grow up in a house on Saginaw Bay?
@@DanielPowless No, but life-long Michigander. Pass through Saginaw many times a year to, from lake house up north. Taken 675 bypass around Zilwaukee Bridge many times for various stops, eat on tittabawasse. Lots of cool old homes around Saginaw, along davenport ave

You certainly have your work cut out for you. Lots of labor-intensive stuff. But I have no doubt it's going to look awesome afterwards. And interesting seeing the drop ceilings. Is that a common thing they do around there? Take a beautiful 9-foot+ ceiling and make it look cheap?
@4by_yotaguy373 Oh yeah. It's very very common. It was I guess a way to be more heat efficient and to cover up broken/cracked plaster over the years when as people stopped caring about their properties and the skills to do it become lost to time.
@natalied989 I love good plaster work! But you're right it's getting harder to find ppl willing to do it. Are you guys going to perform plaster repairs, or patch in drywall?
@4by_yotaguy373 The ceiling under the drop ceiling was already drywall. I pulled that down and we will put up new drywall. If we come across plaster that needs repair and it's salvageable we will repair.
Good luck. It'll be worth it in the long run.
@@dadgarage7966 most definitely
Hey nice work! Have you ever thought about doing restorations on vintage weights? 🤗
@@4by_yotaguy373 Not once.
@natalied989 Oh I gotcha... you're more into the look of use and heavy patina🤙. Well I totally understand because so am I. 🙂
@4by_yotaguy373 Right. Yes, exactly my thoughts.
@@natalied989 Great minds think alike! 💪😉👍
AMAZE BALLS 😅
BTW one of the guys in the group is now recreating/ 3D printing the obsolete clips which hold on the chrome rocker trim molding. This is excellent news for many.
@4by_yotaguy373 I bought some this summer. Haven't put them on yet but one side ofnthe trim already fell off cuz that 3M tape sucks. I'll probably do the clips in spring.
@natalied989 Interesting. I've spent yrs in a body shop using 3M double-sided tape on emblems, moldings, spoilers, side skirts, body kits, and never had any problem. There's a couple different kinds, but the black one is hardcore. 💪
Even custom iced cookies to match!! 😊
Beautiful flower work! They look so real
I like the sound you chose. It reminds me of Nine Inch Nails 😅
Oh wow what a mess! Thanks for confirming the axle needs to come out to properly grease it. So maybe this experiment wasn't so bad after all.
Your "parts washer" is grounds for you to go to prison in California. They might even send you to Guantanamo Bay. 😮 And nice shirt! 😃
Holy crap is anyone still alive in your city after that??? Do you wear Kevlar vests when you go outside? 😮
@4by_yotaguy373 No vests lol. But it's not a bad idea. I did order a back pack for my kid a few years ago with a ballistic plate in it. I paid super extra extra for the lightweight one that is still rated to actually stop a bullet so she wasn't lugging around a 9lb back pack. Then they stopped letting the kids carry back packs all together. I half joked that I was just going to buy her a vest if they won't let her carry a back pack. I probably should have gotten her one.

Since there's a part or lot number on the upgraded seal, it would've been helpful to also print which way it should face.

@2Strokes_N_Toyotas Thank you! I try my best. I'm available for bookings for weddings, birthdays, funerals, holidays and all special occaision cakes 😀
In a good way, it doesn't look edible because of the fine details. The miniature gingerbread house is clever.
Calling it artisan butter would give that sophisticated flair, especially when using it in Christmas treats.
No window frame rust? Lucky you!
@@inspectyourgadget2485 Nope. Hardly any rust. And it's been a Michigan Truck for probably 10 years. IDK when it got here but originally came from California. It's holding up good.
Michigander myself. Near impossible to keep them rust free. Keep it out of the salt!
@inspectyourgadget2485 I do am undercariage treatment with marine grease and wool wax once a year in fall and really go crazy with it. It's staved off any new rust underneath since I got it in 2022. It's a couple hours and we'll worth the effort. I did a video about 2 months ago about the Wool wax.
@@natalied989 Everything good comes from California 😃
@4by_yotaguy373 this is very not true
I like to jump through the window into the driver seat of mine like Bo and Luke Duke did 😃
@@4by_yotaguy373 I never tried this method. But it's worth a shot. Can't be worse than the flop and crawl
At home it's okay but somewhat awkward in a busy parking lot.
@dadgarage7966 LOL. I'll usually just stand on the ground and push things in as far as I can if I'm in public. When I've pushed as much as I can push, the rest piles in the front seat.

@luvtoyscollector3373 thank you!
Belli!!
did you already take off the steering arms? I guess you're planning on replacing the top and bottom bearings for steering which is why you need that tool? I just used the shims that were already there and kept them in the same places when I did it. it was a while back but I know I didn't use a special tool and it's been fine. I would just wait till spring, it looks to cold to be doin that outside
@liveoak7838 I did take everything apart already and replaced all the bearings and races I just didn't get around to putting the knuckles and axles back together before the snow and cold came cuz I was trying to get the alignment tool. I know I can just put it back together with the shims the way it was when I took it apart but IDK if the person who did it before me did it right so I dont want to just copy them. The oil seals already failed and had to be replaced (the whole reason I started this project) so I didn't want to misalign the axle and cause early failure and excess wear again. So I wanted the Toyota knuckle alignment tool but couldn't. And now here we are.
Lol, same stupid weather near Boston today. Coldest 30F i can remember. Phoey on windchill.
That’s so cool!
It is cool! And fun

Gotta. Can't reach the pedals if I dont
update?
@Vriz541 It's 28 degrees out. I think I missed my window trying to get that stupid tool. Hoping for a break into the 40s soon so I can finish. If not I'll just have to bundle up and bravery it I suppose. All I have to do is put everything back together and make the adjustments so hopefully it should go smoothly. Will definitely update when finished
Awesome!

Glad you liked it!
What floor mats do you use for these 1st gen 4Runners? Do you have a favorite/recommendation?
@dsydlik The 84 doesn't have any. Didnt come with any and I haven't gotten around to getting any. The 87 has a combo of 2016 Honda Accord and 99 4Runner mats which I took out of my previous cars before I sold them lol. They are not a great fit but the 99 4runner bed mat is a nice covering for the rear and fits good. Ive been keeping my eye on ebay for OEM but they are the holy grail. The only ones I ever see are Hilux it seems and they aren't the right shape. So unfortunately I don't know first hand but I've heard some people say 1st gen Tacoma ones from weather tech are a decent fit.
I checked on Rock Auto. Apparently, these ignitors came on '84-'88 Pickups/4Runners and some Celicas. Holy crow, even aftermarket, they're pricey. And there's no guarantee they'll be as good or durable as O.E. But it's an option.
@@dadgarage7966 oh ok. I didn't know you could get them at all. That's definitely good to know if you can't come by a good used one.
She's getting so much faster! 3 cookies decorated in about 1 minute. Keep up the great work 😊

Wow awesome! They look delicious!
Yours is amazing!
@@TRyan-op2jo This guy gets it.
The judges must have had some amount of sentimental points or saw the lack of detail as a cleaner end product maybe. Looking at the two, one looks like a gingerbread house and yours more like a detailed diorama. Personally I'm impressed by the lvl of detail and realistic looks more than the plain traditional look the train station had. I'm wondering if the simplicity stood out more among all the elaborate decorations and was easier to look at and say that looks like a nice gingerbread house than actually appreciating or recognizing what went into something in greater realistic detail. The bricks might have been a toss up on how they were judged, I think it look like real mortar but it could have been seen as imperfect or something if they weren't taking it as a whole picture and just seeing it as lines of icing if that makes sense. If the idea was to see who could make the best looking traditional gingerbread house you could have bought in a box and assembly at home the train station gets it but I think you had it beat on actual detail, effort and overall skills displayed in what you made.
I definitely did the bricks with a rough/imperfect finish because I thought it looked more like real old bricks would look. They turned out just how I wanted. I was definitely going for a whimsical look also. Like a Mr. Roger's Neighborhood vibe. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I suppose. But I still think mine was better.
If I saw a building like this, I would definitely be impressed by the architect!
The brickwork is amazing!!!!! It looks so real! If you didn't say otherwise I would have thought you cut and stacked them yourself. And I love how you decorated not only the outside but the inside too! All the elements of this edible house are fabulous, but the bricks are stellar. It positively shows you put a lot of time and effort into this. I'm totally shocked you didn't win. Are you going to smash it and eat it now?? Maybe with some coffee? Or hot chocolate? ☕
@@4by_yotaguy373 LOL. It's technically edible but it would not be pleasant to eat. It's construction grade dough so it's literally hard as a rock. It probably tastes good though. It has sugar and spices in it but you'd probably break a tooth. I do smash them though when I'm done. Especially the losers.
@@natalied989 So you're saying dunk it in the coffee first. Maybe for an hour? 😅
@4by_yotaguy373 I don't drink coffee. I'll save this one for the birds and make some cookies that wpuld actually taste good.
in the book(page BE-22) for my 85, it shows the water temp signal on pin 7 (yellow/green stripe)of that blue connector. It says pin 5 (violet)is a ground signal from the ECU for the check engine light to illuminate.
also says pin 3 (yellow/black) is oil pressure and pin 4 (green/red) back door unlocked warning light
@liveoak7838 when I follow the copper tracing from the water temp gage to the connector it is the number 6 slot. The 84 might be a little different than the 85. It doesnt have a check engine light so maybe the wiring is different. I know the 85s have a lot more electronic components with the EFI and such. Do you have a hard copy of the 85 manual or a PDF?
@@natalied989 I have both forms of 85 manual. would be happy to share the pdf. I have a hard time from the video to see that it is in the number 6 slot on the cluster. looks like 7 to me. Looking at your blue plug, it appears your yellow/green temp wire is in pin 8 and your violet wire is in pin 6. I think they both need to move one slot over towards the other 2 wires so they occupy pins 5 and 7.
@liveoak7838 I'll take another look tomorrow. It's kind of fallen by the wayside. I started working on something else.
@@natalied989 shared it through google drive. let me know if you don't get it
Good tutorial 👍👍
