What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

That press at work should pop those fuckers out. I hope...lol

I had to go thru that 2 or 3 years ago. What a pain in the ass. This time shouldnt be so bad. Last time I went with rock auto lca's and the bushings are shot already.

Sawzall and lots of blades

 

Found out my rig is falling apart.



On the bright side I was planning on pulling the third soon anyway.

 

Just keep topping it off. Makes a cool pattern on the tire.

 

Damn Mike......string of bad luck continues. Sounds like we need to erase all that at that Bar near Rausch.....St.Patrick's Day is close by .

If you don't want todo again all the press bearing off, new seals, abs tonor ring, etc.,......I might have a bolt in solution for you if you give me a few weeks.

 

Modern art!

 

I should have done both sides the first time it happened, but at that point I was strapped for cash saving for the regear/Moab prep. Can't complain it bought me 2 years. I would be more pissed if it was the same side again. Already have the shoes, just gotta get the rest of the crap. I also know better now to only have the shop press the bearing on and I press the seal ring on myself. No tone ring for me though. Like I said it work's out since I was planning on doing the stud delete soon anyway haha.

I agree on the St. Patty's day bar trip though. That was a fun fucking night.

 

What's wrong with your LCA's?

 

I think @JKO1998 's truck is in a perpetual state of repair

To be fair...mine is too now that I think about it

 

Are you sure your bearing is actually toast? You can carefully pop out the inner seal and clean it, then repack with grease. Brand new bearings do have a slight amount of play.

 

Sometimes I feel my truck deserves the title of Jeep. Always needs something fixed. But it's never left me stranded!

 

haha, I've said that to a few people myself...sure, my truck always "needs" something but it's almost always something that I can choose to do when and where I want, not because I'm forced to do it. And it's never left me stranded either *knock on wood*. Couple close calls though, but I have to take into account the beatings she puts up with pretty regularly. Including but not limited to my own shade tree mechanic repairs that I'm learning to do as I go.

 

I’d like to get a set and swap the bushing and use them as replacement arms.

Well what can I say, ive beat the shit out of for damn near 5 years, 100k.

Cant afford maintenance

 

I have a spare set with the old bushings already pressed out. If you want, I can ship them to you and when you get your old ones swapped out, just ship your old ones to me. I plan on getting some bushings and swapping mine out one of these days but haven't had time to get around to it. Got a kid due the end of this month so probably wont for a while.

 

They are All pro's withnthe kick out.

 

Just Empty Every Pocket

 

Every since they got lazier on panel stamping they're just JOOP

 

Quality...

 

These are the original bearings and seals

I only did the passenger side two years ago when that one went lol

 

That's impressive
