209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

Was that supposed to fix it?

 

According to them they had drained, put a new gasket, and retorqued the bolts but its weeping again. Granted it isn't in as many places as last time but if they did it correctly you would think that it wouldn't happen 2 months later

 

That's a song right? while my diff gently weeps....

 

Is that by the VW Beetles?

taking it in tomorrow to see what they say.

 

eBay has 15% off today. (Pronto15)

Just ordered some tires.

Hankook dynapro’s 265/75r16 for $90 a pop.

Hopefully they don’t suck. Never owned Hankooks before but I have owned some shitty tires... ie fuzion

 

Thats a shame, i wish i had bought a brand new truck sometimes, but even those come with problems so, maybe mine isnt so bad lol

Going through my service manual right now actually. Couple tasks i need to familiarise myself with... "Retourqing the propellor shaft" and "tightening nuts and bolts on chassis"


Also noticed im due for a transmission service under "special operating conditions"... Which absolutely meets my ocd criteria for "i only drive it when i go camping"

 

.You’re OCDness reminds me of myself but a couple decades of wheelin’ has cured me of some of it. Propeller shaft is drive shaft. Nuts and bolt on chassis is body mounts and such. I have the torque specs stored in my phone if you need em

 

Tires mounted and alignment done. Much better numbers than the stock UCAs and the ride is really smooth. I also attribute that to the differential fluid change I could feel the difference this morning before the new tires.

Looks good! Where’d you take it for an alignment?

 

Mccoy tire across the street from ya haha

 

Nice! That’s where I was gonna take mine

 

Looks great man! New tires look beefy.

 

Thank you! Couldn't have done the suspension stuff without ya!!

 

Same tires we are running

 

Looks good, I like those tires.

 

I really like them. They look great much larger than my 265s, they dont rub (I'm still going to cut stuff sometime here) and they have great reviews for most applications including ice/snow which I was worried about. Win win win in my book

 

@510to209Taco can you snap a pic of your front tires? I want to see if the camber is noticeable on yours even with the UCAs
