Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Anyone want my 2016 stock leafs? Need it out of my storage unit.

 

me! where are you?

EDIT: Oaktown 510 ...

pick up Saturday?

 

My storage is in san leandro off marina

 

Yeah that works! I'll PM you

 

Who wants a DBB patch?? I'm giving them away here.

 

I’m thinking @Cuffs has earned one she’s been a huge source of knowledge and help to people from her experience

 

So thanks to @MJonaGS32's misfortune...



... I now know my shaft is an inch short (better than Ive heard before )


Time for an operation (of sorts)

Yea just an FYI for everyone with a 2nd gen:

Manual Transmission has a 1" longer drive shaft on the front part of the rear drive shaft (hopefully that doesn't sound confusing - but basically the smaller piece in the above picture). Auto will have a sticker on there that says 32 and the manual will have one that says 33.

Also, after changing all my u-joints, the rear drive shaft has the same (3) u-joints. For 4x4, the front drive shaft has (2) u-joints that are smaller than the rear ones. I found the rear DS u-joints locally for $15-20ea, but couldn't find any of the front ones in stock. O'Reilly had some, but were going for like $40+ each and they had to order them. I said screw that and got 1-day free shipping on Amazon Prime:

$15 Spicer 5-153X U-Joint Kit 1310 Series (OSR)

I have the tacoma in "My Garage" on amazon and it'll show that "This doesn't fit your 2007 Toyota Tacoma," but I can assure you, it is the correct one.

btw - if it isn't already, u-joints are good to keep in your "spare parts" bin on the trail. Now you know to keep 2 diff kinds

 

Agreed

 

That's what I was hoping to hear. Thanks

 

Thanks MJ saved to Amazon cart for future.do you know what was the Spicer part # for the rear is that you used.

 

And I got tickets to TepuiFest so save me a spot

 

Jay can't make it. I have an extra ticket to Tepuifest if anyone is interested. If @VolcomTacoma still has his available, you'll have a pair.
