sheepers

I dunno what the fuck this thing is but it said rude things about my haircut so I took it off and threw it in the bin.

I Wanted to grease the driveshaft slip yokes because they looked a bit dry so I climbed under the truck and started unbolting the driveshaft to get it apart. 

I got 3 of the bolts out but I kind of couldn't really get to the top one so I climbed out and pushed the truck forward a bit to allow easier access.

Climbed back under the truck to get the last bolt out and that's when I discovered it has grease fittings on all the joints.

So I put the bolts back in and got out the grease gun.......

Round two. 

Got some genuine toyota camber adjustment sleeves and took it all apart again. 

This time everything went fairly normally and now it's all back together. 

I also replaced the CV boots while I was in there. 

So is got new upper and lower inner bushes.

New upper and lower balljoints.

New rack ends and tie rods.

New swaybar links and bushes

New CV boots. 

It was quite a pile of parts but the time everything was done. 

Righto. 

Did not go well. 

After two days I still have nothing really to show.  I think I'll have to make the headders in the car because I can't guesstimate where everything is and navigate a path that works.  There is just no room to spare and it's not worth making it only to have to make it again. 

I may even drop down a pipe size too because I'm going to have trouble getting any crush on the gasket, as well as the holes in the head are a good 4-5mm smaller than the pipe I'm currently using.

I'll think about it. 

But yea she ain't gonna happen with the current state of  affairs. 

I bought (almost) all the suspension replacement parts for the front end. 

Upper and lower ball joints,  upper and lower inner bushes, new sway bar links,  new rack ends and tie rods and sway bar bushes. 

What I didn't buy was the camber adjustment cams that cannot be removed because they rust weld themselves into the bushes and you can't get them out without destroying them.

I found this out after id almost fully disassembled the left side. 

So lots of parts got replaced but not the inner lower bushes. I'll order the adjustment cams and finish the job. 

I didn't bother taking the drivers side apart,  I'll get all the bits first. 

It fought me all the way to get this far but whatever. 

And a special shout out to the joker who did the lower balljoint last time and put it back together with longer bolts that bottomed in the holes so he just gave it more ugga duggas and called it good.

Both bolts broke when I tried to get them undone.

I bought a 5M-GX exhaust header kit.

As it the style with this type of kit there is some assembly required. 

hey, also it should be made very clear that i have no idea what I'm doing.

I'm literally just doing whatever looks good, there is no science in anything here,

• diameter of the throttle? - fuck knows, whatever will kind of match up with the head and still be big so it looks cool.
• length of the runner? - 80ish mm because that the number that i pulled out of my arse.
• angle of the throttles in relation to the motor? - 15 degrees because i have no idea why.

if there's something that seems fucky please speak up, like i say these is no science in this at all

it should also be noted that this engine isn't really destined for great horsepowers, its a fucking 5m, if i wanted max powerz i wouldn't have started out with such a turd. 

any input would be appreciated, unless your a shitposting dickhead, then its not. 

Printed some throttles to get a better idea. 

It's pretty good,  I'll guesstimate how it might work in the engine bay and take it from there. 

Printed this at work. 

It fits pretty well considering the sizing was a complete guess.

I might angle the throttles up higher a bit?

I need to guess what some of the clearances might be
