What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

I put a hinge on my plate and mounted it behind the plate

 

Slowly getting closer to the big 100k...

 

Not at all. Just saw the YouTube video somewhere and saved it til I got around to it.

 

Ahh ok. And they can’t replace yours for free?

 

Just curious. How many miles lasted the central bearing and the 3 U-joints ??

 

What uca are you running ?

 

I’m at 135K now. Had a 2” lift added around 65K. I believe the center bearing’s life span diminishes when you lift the truck.

 

bearing’s life span diminishes when you lift the truck.
So I believe, too.
On my 2008, I replaced central bearing and 1 U-joint at 115 k miles

 

I lifted mine at around 50k and replaced u-joints and center support bearing at around 145k. I probably didn't have to, but wanted the peace of mind.

 

I changed my center and joints at 165k with stock suspension. If it wears faster, than not by much.

 

Yupp CVJ High Angle boots. Stock replacement CVs. So far so good! They pressed my wheel bearings into my hubs as well and were all around great folks.

 

Plain ole SPC LR UCAs. Nothing fancy, but gets the job done.

 

Have to go through 4wheel online through Amazon. And they have to have them in their hands to do anything. Scared of having to go through the same thing I ordered some JBAs and when they come in I'll just send the clunkers back

Ah ok. I just bought a brand new set from a member recently. Praying it’s not part of the same batch lol.

 

Random post to get my Messages count out of triple 6

 

I drove around today and it's like I left every bolt on the front end loose. Not only can you hear them popping but you can feel it in your feet. Makes the truck feel like a piece of crap.

 

Fuck, my luck hasn’t been the greatest lately and wouldn’t be surprised if mine is from the same batch. My friend and a couple co-workers have these and rave about’em. There’s any way of figuring out if there’s a batch number that can be found on the box or paperwork inside?

 

Cant day on that one but it only took about 40 miles of on road use before they started popping

 

Cant say*

I would install them and immediately go any place that has speed bumps and you'll know.
