There is a recent video in my shorts. Link below. I'm glad I used the fiberglass. It's been sitting in the garage for months, so I'm happy those areas are getting waterproof protection. ua-cam.com/users/shortsHFmXYTBHHrY?si=4JOFV__vaShR5LCt

@@Suburban_Garbage Hey man - i’m about to do some fiberglass repair but i’m recommended to use Bondo Glass and Gold Filler for the second layer, what are your thoughts or should i just use only the Bondo Short Fiber Filler?

@@hellenicbeats is the base material fiberglass? Like a boat or motorcycle fairing. That's a different animal depending on the repair. If it's sheet metal I would use something a little higher quality than Bondo like evercoat kitty hair or fibral lite. You can cheese grater that to rough it in then use a glaze to fill in pinholes and get it flat.

I ended up using fiberglass filler in the repair areas followed by polyester. I think the previous fill job was too thick for Bondo alone.

@@Monz117 took mine off and it rides much smoother on/offroad.

Can't say for sure. That was not a issue with the Highlander. Overheating brakes sounds more like a seized caliper. You can test it by jacking up the wheel and see if it spins freely

@@Suburban_Garbage thanks 👍

Lol. I ruined my first car, a Cherokee, by doing dumb teenager things. I think in my delusional mind I was trying to redeem myself with the jeep gods... At least wrenching in the garage keeps me out of trouble.

I'm happy to help answer questions. Unfortunately I don't have any social media other than UA-cam. If you post your questions in the chat for the Celica video I'll respond or maybe make a short to show you what I did to address your issue. Good luck with the project. In my opinion it's worth the effort.

I'd like one of every size. Next purchase might be a 9" for big iron.

Good catch. I'll check that and give it an extra squeeze if needed

Hrm.. that's an odd one. From my memory the cluster and the window are on two separate circuits, so it's probably two incorrectly spliced wires. There's only a couple points where the two harnesses cross over; ignition key hot, always hot, fuel pump relay, oil pressure, and temp. Best advice I can give is to double check all of those. Hope that helps. Good luck

Thanks for the comment, and good luck with the Ranger!

@s

Thanks for the comment, and good luck on the Ranger. I painted it up and it looks good enough for a old Jeep.

@@Suburban_Garbage thanks. And good luck to you. Offroad, way of life. 🤙🤙

I haven't had a nail/puncture in my tire since I moved. They must mix nails in the asphalt down there. Good luck!

@theory816 can’t figure it out down to 40, cv axle going bad down to 35

@theory816 I used a surface temp gun and hit the rotors, warm but not hot. Hotter than front though…car shakes a bit because of it too

@theory816 slightly dragging?

@theory816 actually I change my back brakes they were beyond shot and shouldn’t have been

@theory816 no lights here which is weird

$500 for the set. They've been powder coated but still in good shape

It's 90% rust free! I thought a Jeep would be easier because it's small and a convertible. Too bad this one got flipped on it's side at one point.

@@Suburban_Garbage Yikes! Well, either way, you’ll be an experienced body work man by the time this is over.

My 3sfe was still going strong when I pulled it. Couldn't't kill it. Not really plug and play. The wiring harness needs to be merged and I fabricated two transmission mounts. As far as swaps go not too terrible.

I'm currently editing a video on some things I overlooked, so keep an eye out for that. I was in such a rush to get the engine running I didn't perform any maintenance items to it... Just spark plugs and oil. While you have the engine out of the car do the full timing belt kit, HFH and HFHOE, and check your manifold bolts (one of mine was broken). I'd also say send the harness to a reputable company. I went DIY and I think the $250 would be well spent. Good luck and happy wrenching!

Good point. I've been driving Toyotas so long sometimes I forget. My concern was the loss of brake boost. Most people wouldn't know what to do if they lost boost and it could cause an accident. That and the part was $1200.00, so I had a little sticker shock. I've had a few Chrysler products the whole car needs a rebuild at 100k.

I used the factory seat belt mounts. I unscrewed the belt portion and ran it through the belt hole in the seat, and the buckle portion can poke through the other side. It's lines up pretty well.

Thanks for messaging. It was pretty easy to replace, and the parts rather cheap. If I remember correctly all you need is a M5 hex wrench and a 14mm box wrench.

I don't have any way to message other than the comments. FYI, I used the factory waste-gate and BOV, and since I don't have an electric speed sensor the computer limits boost to 8 PSI. Other than the wiring everything remained factory. I plan to increase the boost either with a bypass switch, or a manual boost controller. Message if you want more details.

Cool. I've always wanted the alltrac. This my poor man's attempt. I checked my records and I can't find exactly where I got the scoop from. I think it was from race scoops, but it looks like they no longer carry it. When they carried it they advertised it as a roof scoop not a hood scoop but it fit nicely. Good luck with your project.

Good luck. The car handles the changes well. I had a few doubters that thought it would ruin it, but I think it's a better version of itself.

Yeah, still running strong. It's a V6 manual from a 3.0 solara/Camry. It's a e153 setup for fwd. The back motor mount needs to be made custom. Everything else was pretty straightforward. Clutch and flywheel are MR2 turbo parts.

What did you use for axles? I'm getting my parts together for a winter swap.

Good question. That is the part that makes it all come together. I used MR2 turbo inners and es250 outers. Good luck with the swap.

Nope the warranty guys just take your money and say thanks

Lol the scam? I rather just buy preowned parts

Thanks for the compliment. I'm glad someone else is crazy enough to spend way too much time and money on these old Toyotas

@@Suburban_Garbage Jw what wiring harness are you using? The guy I bought it from made a very sketchy one and I want to replace it asap

I did the wiring myself. It was a little time consuming, but once I got the diagrams figured out it went smoothly. I left a few things off like the A/C, and I wired in a aftermarket cooling fan. DM me if you have a question. Mine looks pretty ugly but I wrapped everything in electrical tape and plastic sheeting to dress it up.

It was a 2000 solara V6 manual transmission, and the bell housing bolts all matched. I used a MR2 turbo lightweight flywheel from eBay, and a Luk OEM replacement clutch.

All the gears are slightly longer than the s54. You can use any MR2 turbo Limited slip as well.

Nice. I think the aw11 is an awesome car. I can't tell you what the RPM is at 65 at the moment. I've got the suspension pulled apart for new struts. From what I remember at 80mph it's turning about 3500 rpm in 5th. The s54 would be at 4k rpm

Drove the other day, and 65 it's turns about 2700 rpm

@@Suburban_Garbage I think I'm around the same rpm also thanks bud
