Let’s play a game. Guess wtf this thing is

 

Hmm old ass din connector, glass, metal annode. It's either some radio garbage or a sacrificial annode for something.

 

Wait a minute it goes on a boat, I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that it's critical, they don't make it anymore, and it costs more than the boat is worth now.

 

Probably the most correct thing said about a boat ever. Bust out another thousand

 

Haha luckily!! Nope! Not critical thank god. Not worth more then the boat. I’ll probably toss it out if I don’t make it into a hat. Sacrificial anode was a good guess, but I don’t have any metal under the water line requiring an anode

 

Man was great yesterday.

But come one..https://bozeman.craigslist.org/ctd/d/2003-toyota-4runner-limited/6586439906.html

I mean the suspension is probably not great..but that thing is nice otherwise.

 

It has that fat lower lip tho.

Back when I was shopping to buy my truck in '06, I drove and sat in several 3rd gens. I found the seating position to be a lot different from the Tacoma. I thought that was odd. Didn't like it as much.

 

Great pictures as always @Blackdawg

 

eh he just needs a cbi bumper on there and problem solved haha

Yeah the 4runners are very different, more of a luxury vehicle for toyota vs the tacoma.

Thanks!

 

Who has done their lower ball joints? I just replaced my passenger CV today and noticed that the ball joints could use some attention.
I have seen people on here just go for new lca. Based on your experience is it worth the effort or do I just go the new lca route.

Thanks

 

Lower ball joints are pretty easy to replace. I replaced mine last week. Took less than an hour per side. I wouldn’t replace the lower control arm unless something is wrong with it.

 

If you drive a second gen or first make sure you
Go OEM on the ball joknts. 2nd gen is a whole new arm and usually lower cam bolts. 1st gen is just a lbj

 

I didn’t know 2nd gens were such a pain. All the more reason to own a 1st gen.

 

if youre a 1st gen just get OEM LBJs. DON'T GET PART STORE ONES.

You can either buy or rent a large Pitman puller to pop off the tie rod and LBJ easily without damaging any boots. Depending on how many times you've done it and how good you are with a wrench, should be able to do both in under 2 hours easily.

Get new bolts too as reusing the bolts is not a good idea.

 

No mention of torquing the bolts properly?

 

not required for good memories

 

Should have mentioned second gen. I wish I had my old first gen but some people just think stop signs are optional.
Seems like oem is the consensus I will get those. (Was going for a zerk fitting but oem is fine)

 

ah 2nd gen.

Well could go baller and get some aftermarket LCAs by Dirt king or TC or something.
