The Golden Triangle (Beaumont, Port Arthur, Nederland)

I'm trying

 

It would be nice to have someone to run with

 

You want to just take 1 truck and do a straight shot?

 

We could. That's up to you.

 

Take the 20 point turn one.

 

That's fine let me know for sure if you can take off and I'll make arrangements to be sick

 

Bull Bar (no screws) $70 can meet you .....

 

Should be there on the 23rd, probably get there around mid afternoon. As for the October trip, I'd be in for Hotsprings if we have a group going.

 

Perfect and I'm down for hot springs again I love that place. @Overkill07 you in?

 

Misty and I would love to go back there. It will just depend on my daughters' volleyball schedule.

 

Sweet, James might be in for that one as well. I'll have the wife on that trip if her school cooperates. Debating on bringing the tent.

 

Guess what I got.....

Thanks for the heads up Juan

 

Remind me of the old super swamper thornbirds

 

How much did those set you back?

 

Thats exactly what they are.

$600. Do you want them?

 

Nah dude. I can't afford those anymore. I already have the Coopers waiting on me.

 

I haven't seen those in awhile, what are you doing with them?

 

I had planned on mounting them on some steelies or something inexpensive and use for off road use only.

 

For you Devine!

First, rent a 3 jawed 7 ton puller from Oreilys, attach like so to the hub/wheel bearing assembly. You'll need a socket that is slightly less in diameter than the
hub is.

Its sorta scary but that shit will pop finally once you break the initial "seal" between the hub and bearing assembly. After it pops just keep cranking on it until the hub falls out. Once its out you will see one of the bearing races pictured here

That race will still be pressed on the hub itself. I like to pull off the bearings themselves "the little cylindrical rollers" to get them out of the way; they're just held in with plastic. Once you have the bearings off then you will be left with this,


Now take a grinder with a cutting disk and go to town on it. Be careful not to gouge the hub itself, a nick here and there is alright and is guaranteed to happen".


Once its cut up enough, take a BFH and chisel and give it a whack.That "sleeve" will break apart and slide right off; you'll be left with this

 

Just realized something @Chopper678 yours is a 2wd, so theres 1 BIG step that has to be done before anything I posted above. The 2wds actually have a "nut" or hub locknut, on the backside of the hub that has to be taken off before you press anything out. You can see it in this picture facing down towards the table.
It has the 4 small holes in it. You need a Toyota specific tool to get that biznitch off, or you can make one yourself, or use an air hammer chisel. I've seen all 3 work well.
