Alabama thread!

We got them pulled and Jeff rebuilt my CV’s while laughing at us crawling around under the truck. He helped on getting the front diff out also along with lifting the rear diff out. John was awesome moving back and forth between the various on goings. Scott got a hand dirty holding the spindle to the side while we pulled a CV.

Went fairly smooth. Put them in regular buckets with card board taped over the tops. Got them dropped off at the fedex store at 5 this afternoon. The drop-off points wouldn’t take them because they were so heavy.

 

Glad it went well sorry I couldn't make it. Weird they wouldnt take it, I dropped mine at office depot.

 

@JBTacoma how long did it take you to rebuild a CV? I’ve got the parts to rebuild my OEM I’ve just never rebuilt one on a truck or 4 wheeler. Always just replaced.

 

Depends on how many times you stop to talk.
Maybe 20 to 30 minutes each if you don't stop to talk.
It's a pretty simple job, if you get the rebuild kits from Toyota, they have every thing you need in it.

 

this man traveling through areas with boarded windows shut and tarps over the roof to help with leaks...

 

GPS will lead you down some sketch roads if its quicker lol

 

My birmingham dudes, I was off roading on a trail off Ross Bridge Pkwy by Shades Crest Creek. I didn’t have much time to explore, but is anyone familiar with that trail?


It’s the trail on the left side of the road. It branches off and more or less follows the road toward Ross Bridge for a while.

 

It connects into the culvert trail somehow I’m pretty sure. I have walked it a few times when I got off the walking trail there

 

Is the culvert trail the walking trail back there? Does it end up by the train tracks?

 

i only use my phone, it's free updated maps. I'll never understand if people still pay for map updates.

 

Anyone here have the OVTune on there truck?

 

Already done. Told my boss we hit the lottery for 400K and was dropping my retirement papers. Bill's pretty smart and was non-committal but one of my co-workers was congratulating me.

 

Did you rent that and do the work yourself. How much for how much time if you don't mind my asking?

 

How is it just Wednesday...

Weathertech brand?

 

gutter strip? the drip molding on top of the cab?

 

yessir it is, I found mine by making a thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2nd-gen-drip-molding-b-s-t-thread.577037/

try and find you some in there if you'd like, buying new is too expensive. I've seen posts by others that their molding flew off going down the interstate

 

that's probably a good plan too. just add on some extra 3m double sided tape to hold this one one longer lol

 

Gotcha, I thought you were talking about the window vent visors at first.

 

yep, when I was on the hunt for a used set after taking my prinsus off I saw a lot of people who had lost theirs like that. sucks.
