    So this week my trucks throw out bearing is squeaking when I push the pedal in.
    It comes and goes.

    I replaced the clutch and everything 100,000 miles ago and typically I’m getting 250,000
    miles on each of my clutches.
    I don’t really want to spend 5 hours pulling the transmission for just a throw out bearing.
    can I lube the bearing some how

    Is there any way to grease or lube the throwout bearing when the transmission is on the truck?

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    There is no way to reach it and it is a sealed bearing anyway, non serviceable. You might be able to look at it through the fork hole, but that's about it

    Far as I go today... shocks gotta get rebuilt. Then the front suspension will be done.
    Leafs are in their way. Axles getting powder coated because I got a good deal on that... she’ll be rolling soon hopefully

    Yes, and it does nothing. They call it brine in NC. Rock salt thrown on top of snow actually works, that stuff is useless when applied beforehand.

    No plans for the 35s at the moment, but at least this gives me an idea that literally everything needs to be cut, trimmed, massaged, etc.... :anonymous:

    What a bummer because 35s just look so natural with the first gen. Damn shame.

    Pretty common for them to squeak. Wouldn't worry too much about it.

    Literally everything.

    Can be worth it. But certainly not for a majority of folks

    If they'd just bolt up with no issues, then hell yes I'd run them, but there's a ton of work that needs to be done in order to make them fit properly. I'd look into getting 35s on the truck sooner, but I have other plans in the meanwhile. :spy:

    Wider is better in my book, but I also think the back spacing on those rims is like 2.5 inches :anonymous:

    I've definitely seen a need for them already with the rock crawling I do, but not enough to justify it right now. Plus I have other mods I'm looking to get done before I really think about 35s. Regear, UCAs, spindle gussets and cam tab gussets for starters, but that's for later this year.

    Do you have a thread going on this somewhere? I've got one I'll be stripping down and rebuilding and would love to follow along with your progress.
