    Hello everyone from Western WA.

    Recently purchased a 1993 Honda Acty (standard) that's got a custom extended cab from Japan. Got it from UP Garage near Tacoma, WA. The extended cab adds about 8" of room. Appears original owner/creator had a bump'n stereo in it (remnants of power cables and speaker holes), as well as full sized seats/sliders in it.

    I've done the timing belt, cap/rotor/plugs/wires and fluids. Alternator pivot bolt snapped off and took +2 days to drill out. Both timing tensioners required a breaker bar + pipe extension to break loose, and I had RTV all over the rockers under the valve cover - definitely had the apprentice do the work on last timing belt change. Also got lucky and two of the cap screws snapped off in the distributor, so got to take it out and drill/tap. Got it all back together and it's running great.

    Ordered/installed a set of Yokohama Geolandar tires from Japan after fruitlessly searching for 13" wheels in US. Will try them out this weekend in the mud moving downed tree rounds...

    Next step, upgrading front suspension...
