Closed (for now): Group Buy: IEDLS Polyurethane Carrier Bearing

Yes please
I should probably find a writeup. I recall there there are some important steps related to separating and bolt torque and such.

 

Please create a how to thread if you plan on doing seperately of this thread and post the link on here. I will edit the original post to include that how to giving credit to whoever makes it.

Thanks guys.

 

Calling the following members. I have gotten an email from Jeff @ IEDLS at some point either yesterday or today. Enclosed i the following:

Roberto,



Looking for some help we have 5 people of the first list that we don’t see orders for and some others that have not called in payment. On the five on the first list I do not see any contact info on is @1stgenpre @Dctaconny @YotaDriver631 and @nfs257 Can you post something that if they placed the order and have not heard from us to please contact us. As we are starting to ship parts out according to the number they are on the list. If they have sent in the order and have not maid payment yet please do so ASAP.


Thank You

@PerfectTekniq they mentioned you in an email but you are will calling locally, so you are good to go!

 

@12TRDTacoma I have an email from Liz on the 29th confirming my username.... I also talked to Jeff and made sure he doesnt ship it till I get moved lol

 

You may want to email him and let him know one more time. I could see how and why they are getting all kinds of confused right now. It's a lot of people to deal with. Lol. 60 people basically.

 

Or more since they opened the price over the last weekend lol

 

No kidding!!!

 

Haha, yeah i wont have the time to get to it for a few weeks unfortunately!

 

I've called and emailed to verify that my part is in before I drive out there but haven't gotten a response. I'll try again.

 

I let them know you were a will call, so you should be set to go.

 

I haven't read all 33 pages but has anyone else installed this yet other than OP?

And who's doing this on a lifted AC? 5" lift specifically

 

32 pages?? When the hell did this thread get so big?!

 

hey so id like to be added to the list, what steps do i take?

 

Hang tight for my go ahead. I am aeaiting reply from Jeff @ IEDLS about which way he wants this group buy to go.

 

I'm trying to get in on this GB, if I place my order within the time frame before yoy get yours would it be possible for you to pick mine for me? I have very little time right now to be driving out there to pick it during their business hours. You're in Claremont and I'm in Monrovia. I would greatly appreciate it if it'd at all possible.

 

Looking to get my ball rolling and install so went to Amazon to order some U-joints but I'm being told that these don't fit my truck! Are these U-joints for the 1st gen or 2nd gen Taco? I put in 2010 Access cab 4x4 and no luck.

 

Of course.

 

Those are the ones AFAIK. You can search the member @MrGrimm here. He's a well known member here and I just transferred that information to this thread.

 

Still no reply to my email from Jeff @ IEDLS. I'll try to message him again.

 

@Digiratus

Ok, install on 1st Gen DCSB (photos soon):

Note: do not start without PB Blaster!!!
I spent too much time attempting to loosen bolts without PB Blaster.

My approach was to disconnect the double carridgan from the center bearing yoke and push back on the rear drive shaft from the slip yoke(?). This afforded less disconnection of drivelines/driveshafts.

The most challenging part was the bolt that connects center carrier bearing yoke to the center carrier bearing. There is a tiny "keyed" indent that pinches the driveshaft. I used a nail counter punch to shift it out just a bit and then used a "motivator" bar to apply some leverage to the nut and it came loose.

Time consuming part was fabricating the steel flat bar. Uploading photos to photo bucket now...
