hobospyder Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Where'd you get that thar antenna ebay a couple years ago when I bought an all around seal kit. Datsunlandsocal is the stickers on the seals. There may be spaces. I'll take a picture when I get a chance Link to comment
hobospyder Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 No i meant the whole Oregon thing,,, THAT is a haul... Tacoma is just a hop skip compared to that. oh, yeah, tranny fluid is next on the list for that 1 Link to comment
4perrev Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Nice looking extendable you got there! Truck still looks sweet. Xmission is even easier when you get under there. That oil is going to sweet, real good. It doesn't wash off so well either, so wear glove to keep the sweet off your hands!! 1 Link to comment
hobospyder Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Yeah I've checked the transmission level before, since I'm doing fluids might as well swap it out. Have a gallon of gl4 sitting g at home for it anyways 2 Link to comment
hobospyder Posted April 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Um stupid question. I picked up a cannon intake for little miss and was wondering if I would need to retune carb if I swapped it onto the L16 with my weber? Or is it just a simple intake swap? Link to comment
Draker Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 No, shouldn't need to. Link to comment
hobospyder Posted April 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 well that's good news. little miss might donate an intake to ducky. maybe.... if i ever swap the intake Link to comment
hobospyder Posted April 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 halfway down page but new pictures on this post.... so, talking to my girl when i got home and told her i was thinking about poking around with one of my cars with the afternoon. her reply was "go play with your car and enjoy the sun." so out i go to remove a seat floor pan looked pretty decent aft of the seat mount bar things..... don't know what those are actually called, someone help me please? there was some rust on the drivers side by the hole behind the hole in the floor on noted seat mount bar thingy but still pretty structurally sound. i'll try to remember to snap some pictures of it tomorrow. this is the hole, has been there since before little miss and i met seat was looking a little rough decided to try out the z car (260 or 280, can't remember which they were removed from) buckets that i purchased for this exact reason but that had to come out because my knees were way too bent for me to be able to drive comfortably for an extended period of time (really should've taken a picture, it was quite comical where my knees were). i also wouldn't be able to operate my clutch without turning off my headlights in the morning. well lets see how this seat looks under the mexican blanket and foam pad that the po had put on ummmmmmmm.......................... yeah................ that's not gonna cut it and that would explain my ass getting pinched. tore down the seat bottom found out the lower "lumbar" support bar that holds the latches for the seat back is broken and got some new foam cut somewhat to fit to the lower half of the seat. no oic of in process sorry, just wanted to get it done. ran out of time to do the upper half and well, the foam is a little thick for the seat back and i was just aiming for a temporary fix that looked better than what was in there and i'm pretty sure i achieved that reused the bottom half of the mexican blanket seat cover and snatched up a jolly roger that i've had floating around since my daughters first christmas (present from ex wife) to cover the top half. it's not perfect (will revisit this seat later, possible winter project as welding is required to fix the back parts frame) but it will do for now. got it installed, checked oil level (low as fuck) added oil, and came in to go to bed after telling the story of my afternoon. gotta say, i enjoy having a girl that actually encourages me to enjoy my hobby. i even told her at the beginning that i would spend more money on my cars than i do on her and she said that that was perfectly fine. 7 Link to comment
hobospyder Posted April 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 the foam i used to replace the original matting on the bottom was bought at a mattress store as "cut to fit bedding" that mom bought for camping but she doesn't like it enough to use it. said it's harder in spots. but it was the perfect price for me, which is free 5 Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Good stuff, hobo!!! I'm in the process of installing the back seat on my datto....and I need to fix it first, you gave me great idea :thumbup: 2 Link to comment
hobospyder Posted April 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 i'm hoping to eventually (if i keep the bench which i probably will) have a permanent jolly roger on the back of the seat and a black base. if i cover it myself that is. just gotta get the proper supplies for it (hog rings and hog ring pliers) 3 Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I think there are at least 3 of us wondering what to call the seat mount thingy. I'm going with "seat mount crossmember" myself. It sounds all fancy and smart like, thus fooling those around me in to thinking I know what I'm talking about. Sweet seat cover! 4 Link to comment
2wheel-lee Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Whoever reupholstered my seat put some thin carpet between the springs and padding. It seems kind of hokey, but it works pretty well. Link to comment

It seems kind of hokey, but it works pretty well. when I get it done right I'll put something in between there so the springs don't eat the pad. Thin carpet seems like a good idea 1 Link to comment
denmarkboy Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I always thought you took your seat out to drive . . Lol . I have a hard time riding in a standard cab. . And FYI , I have been asked if you are double jointed or something . Lol You should be able to find some kind of thin / comfortable seat to work , or make one . 4 Link to comment
4perrev Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Nice work. I had the same thing happen on my seat, so it got welded back together and works great! Seat front mount cross member. Sounds appropriate?! 2 Link to comment
