sure, we labored in the blistering garage all day yesterday only for it to completely cool off to only 105°F today

[Gregski]

also got the brand new Grant steering circle installed

[Gregski]

though I don't like how far it sticks out, I don't have a back seat to steer from

[Gregski]

I'm thinking eliminating the specialized riser all together

[Gregski]

and we got ourselves, one finger power steering, completely CANable Free simply works in fail safe mode, (I believe this means the assist is the same regardless of vehicle speed as opposed to being progressively less as the speed increases in an actual Prius, oh well we'll take it)

[Gregski]

learned how to wire it up from this video

You must not be wearing a mask when you paint 😂 You dropped off a bumper for me on your way back from visiting your kid in San Jose.

Yes yes I did Mr. I Have More Trucks Than You, so sorry I totally remember now

[Gregski]

the fender bolts come in two sizes, small, and these 3/8"-16 thread size x 1 1/2" long

so after hours and hours of cleaning, wire wheeling, and media blasting the originals, I decided to paint them with my wallet

thank you Batman!

[Gregski]

whoa, out the door it ended up being $38 bones, shoot I assumed free shipping, AMAZON strikes again!!!

holler at me if you need one I'll sent it to you for FREE you just pay the shipping

You’re making great progress. I thought you were joking about the bracket you cobbled together for the electric power steering, but once you mounted it then I realized it was legit.

thanks, yeah it's a bit too fugly for even Good Enuff Garage standards so I plan on massaging it a bit, but it has to look that wonkey in ordrer to clear everything down there - and honestly can you tell me what your standard power steering pump bracket looks like, lol probably not right off hand as it is buried in there as well

[Gregski]

life mates, let me know if you agree, sometimes when you're working on a project it don't matter what you do as long as you work on something, especially when everything needs doin'

so what do you all call this contraption?

A. parking brake

2. emergency brake

or C. what is it?

[Gregski]

alright, what is this, and for extra credit from what year(s)?

[Gregski]

another day another drive shaft center support bracket donut thingie

[Gregski]

someday the doors will go back on this truck and when that day comes, we'll need these

[Gregski]

yes you are little buddy

[Gregski]

back in black

[Gregski]

a little vi de O for you
