Hey look, I'm still alive! Sorry for the lacks of posts in the past year or so. I used to be on all the time at work then, of course, they blocked the site. I plan on being more active now.

Me too. Tapatalk was a pita and it was frustrating to get through one thread, so I took a hiatus.

Lol. Thanks. No real updates. A few fluid changes. Some tire rotating Oh and a broken driver side outter door handle. My bf thinks he's the hulk. I have a new one but haven't had the time to try to replace it. In addition to that my driver side door also had a pretty bad sag to it. I really need to get new hinges.

Not much. Left Disney three months before they shutting down everything, traveled the nation for a few months and now I'm back home working for some of the radio stations I grew up listening to. Beyond that, we're all doing pretty well down here.

A fun update....... I need to replace my gas tank and fuel pump! Yay!

Seems as though a few rocks have decided to hug tightly between my gas tank skid and my gas tank. There for poking 3 or 4 small holes. Sized just enough to dump all of the 3/4th tank of fuel. Looks like I will be replacing the tank and pump at the end of the month (mini cooper needs rear brakes first).

I gotta get it done before winter so that I have something for some fun snow this year :)

I've had to replace the POS tank twice so far but never the pump. Your pump bad are you just trying to avoid the horror of getting it out of the tank?

If so let me share an epiphany that came to me after the 45 min long task of removing the pump nearly brought me to tears. Instead of trying to remove the pump through the small opening just clean the inside of the tank removing any fuel and cut the tank! I mean it’s scarp right…


I wish someone would make a plastic replacement for these…

The time has come.. a new adventure to follow...

Although it's being brought back to life by its new owner (has owned a few X's but not a forums guy). I should see it around as they are local which as much as I am dreading I am also excited to see it live once again!

It was a long time coming as my body just can't handle doing the work it needed to do all the repairs myself. (Fuel tank, fuel pump, engine overhaul, trans overhaul, steering upgrade) Shops want waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much to do the repairs so it's going on to it's next adventure at just around 205k.

Soon I'll be test driving a new 4-Runner TRD Pro, Taco TRD Pro and a Ford Raptor (husbands idea, although this will be my daily along with my Mini.... Oh yeah, snuck that husband word in there. We finally did it, 10 years and 1 day we got hitched, well eloped. The milkshake will no longer be allowing boys into the yard. :cool:)
