    I got frustrated enough trying to build that fixture and press the hub out in my cold garage, don't feel the need to get into it on this thread. Especially after a nice, calming, much needed yoga session.

    I'll continue to post my trails and tribulations, as I feel the weak point is my fixture and not the press.

    I'll try not to shoot spindles across the garage or into myself.

    I'm going to leave this here again - for two reasons:

    1. Hopefully we can use it to get back on the right foot (again)
    2. I can't +1 and :thumbsup: Like this enough; every word of it resonates with me and my last couple years here. Such a better place to be than most of the rest of the internet.

    Ok... for some reason I thought it was Arizona.

    It still doesn't change the point.

    You know what I'm tired of? The same 8 or 10 condescending pricks in this thread that don't have any clue how to have a discussion without thinking it's an arguement. Because they think everyone should just nod and agree or keep their mouth shut.

    "Stop wasting your time and use a tool I've never used myself"
    "Tundra brakes are unnecessary... even though I don't have them to know if they are or aren't"
    "Blue lights will make you go blind"
    "Optima batteries will burn your truck down"
    "If you don't do the big 3, you don't know anything and you're truck is a mall crawler"
    "It's better to run OEM lbjs with 200,000 miles on them than to run anything else"

    All ridiculous bullshit sentiments made by the know it alls.

    It happens all the time... I just happen to be the one who wont keep my mouth shut.

    The chirps from the know it alls is what is old. The fact that it's ALWAYS about what they would have done, or that is wrong, or you shouldn't do it that way. It's almost as if they think everyone should have the same truck as they do... and heaven fucking forbid if anyone gets put of line and questions their authority.

    It's old? Ok, ignore me... mbasshole has ignored me for months... doesn't stop his chirps here and there. I'm not ignoring anyone in this thread, because I'm here to try and help people where I can, not make condescending prick comments about other people's shit.

    Aaaaand again... somehow I'm the asshole.
    The thing is... there are no shits in my pocket to give.

    Hmmmm... let's see, what did I do to the Tacoma today... I put the key in, started the engine and put it in the driveway for the day. No, actually I'm being a lazy azz and am trying to secure an ARB jerrycan holder/tray onto the roof rack without removing the rack first.

    Epic fail so far. :bananadead:

    I'm not sure which question is more relevant - how they got onto the side of a mountain or how you're getting them down?

    They do whatever it takes to get to where they need to go, but always seem to need help getting back in Situations like this.

    We got my buddy down to them and brought them up one at a time, and then pulled said friend back to the up.

    I did essentially the same thing... Just drove my mall crawler back and forth to work... even more miles beyond my scheduled oil change... and laundry list of other maintenance items being pushed off due to wedding projects for my daughter's wedding.
