April 15th needs to hurry up and get over with already. I want my weekends back!

 

I thought you were an engineer. You're a CPA?

 

That's what I was about to ask. My girlfriend is a CPA and she is counting down the days

 

I am an engineer. It just so happens that I'm taking the Colorado state licensing exam to become a registered professional engineer on the 15th

 

Nice!

 

Well NO!... it needs a rebuild! DUH!

 

Yes. Easy to do with a press to get the coupler back onto the shaft.

 

Think your Tacoma is EAF? Think again.

CTIS, 4 lockers, 6 wheel drive. And has been on every continent but Antarctica.



And it's for sale.

 

That's badass but I will trump that with this:

It was a SEMA this past year. Absolutely amazing!

 

Rotor bearings and rotor shaft seal need to be replaced if they look fine?

 

I wonder if there is a winch to lower that spare tire off that rack. It has to weigh a good 150lbs.

 

I would. They are cheap and save you from going in later if an issue. Plus it's a small amount of oil that goes into the nose cone.

 

Dunno, I haven't crawled around it enough. It might just be a tire up top with a tire and wheel mounted on the back.

The kiravan looks interesting but way to big to big for my tastes. But it's still a Unimog with a Doka cab. They even include the working gears and fast axles. Those are pricey upgrades. Hell that has to be 1.5 million at least.

 

I am replacing the nose cone bearings and the needle bearings for sure. I was referring to the bearings in the rotor plate. $80 for a glorified washer doesn't seem worth it to me.

 

Per this old add of it yes it does.

Are those the ones at the back of the case? Or the ones right behind the nose cone? I didn't replace either when I rebuilt mine 80k ago. It might be time.

 

I can't find a good picture. They are mounted in that silver plate between the Nose cone and the black body, if that helps. It seems like they don't need to be replaced unless there is evidence of abuse. As far as I can tell everyone calls the bearings in the back the roller or needle bearings

 

thanks guys and i appreciate it. i will look into some colorado meets. ive been driving to fort collins and denver on the daily trying to get situated and get missing tools and stuff i need for my lift. it would be cool to meet some of you guys. and yes it is a huge change for me but im excited to try something different. fort collins is only 45 min away so hopefully i can find some cool places to explore.
