    Fuck rubber bushings.

    I needed to replace my ball joints, so while I was at it I decided to upgrade to poly bushings because the earlier year jba came with rubber and paint them black. I’ve always hated the red.

    Replaced rusty handles on topper. Had to drill out screws but pretty easy fix.

    That's weird. I did everything the video said. I was just testing the method on my spares before I tried on my retrofits. When I build a new set I'll buy the depo lights.

    As long as I have my tacoma with me, I won’t go hungery either. I have had the same thing happen on each side of the truck. It sucks, but repairable.

    Welcome to TW!

    Did the both diffs, transfer case and added a new antenna mount.

    Also got my overland trailer rolling. Neighboor have me a beat up 8x5 trailer so I cleaned it up and put a new axle with Tacoma hubs. Picked up the 3rd gen spares off of Craigslist for 50 each. Now it’s at the welders shop to have jacks welded to each corner and a much more solid tongue welded on. Hopefully next weekend I can put the RTT on.

    As I’m still fairly new to TW I always find myself coming upon new things to check and do on my taco.

    This morning I pulled the rear prop shaft and greased the slip yoke. It wasn’t giving me any clucking but I figured I’d beat it to the punch and she was pretty dry.

    Nice. But that spoke connected center bottom would drive me crazy as that's generally where i grab the wheel when cruising.

    I agree. The wife’s xterra has room for like one finger at the bottom and I hate it.
