    so much for teachable moments.


    Honestly, I'm really surprised they called him about it, especially since they have the title and all

    That really surprised me, but then it kind of didn't.

    This mysterious world has a way of either enabling people, or giving them chances, to change for once. Maybe a "hey, it's my lucky break, let's change for the better" sort of thing yet the epiphany never happens.

    Mom got a pic of a little trailer and taco there at campground she's at. And she's all 'Cruiserguy, this trailer is soooo cute! And light enough to tow with our late model second gen taco!'
    I was like 'mom those Casitas really are well built trailers and super light and well insulated too.'
    She goes 'well the most important thing is that it's cute. It'll be a chick magnet'
    lmaooooo, moms and the things they see as priority :rofl:
    It is a sweet setup though:cool:

    Your mom sounds freaking awesome :thumbsup:

    Going to see if I can tell mine to call me Kwikvette ...

    Those little trailers are no joke comfy as hell and light too. Surprised to see how cheap they get when sold second hand.

    Yep

    But really unless you plan on the total cost of long travel (and have the need for it), I assume you just need factory replacements.

    What happened to yours?

    You can find them in the marketplace from time to time, just make sure the wheel hub matches with what you have IE manual hub or ADD

    Yeah, when I brought up that I was surprised they did that and it seemed kind of weird he acted like that was normal. I was like "if I give my stuff to goodwill they're not calling me a month later asking if I still want it before they put it on the showroom floor".

    You just wanting bling? Or need new ones? The blingiest I think you can do for them is add the weld on gussets for strength, also makes them look hella more stout too

    What do you mean by aftermarket? You can gusset your current spindles and make them beefier, but that's really not necessary unless you're pounding trails hard. Or hitting curbs really hard lol.

    Ouch

    Yeah you should get one asap, I wouldn't chance that.

    You could snatch one up from a yard even; just take the tools you'd use to -

    Remove lower ball joint

    Remove upper ball joint

    Remove wheel

    Pull spindle off axle

    I think 3rd gen T4R may fit and probably be easier to find too
