    Ditch the 20" drug dealer wheels. Stock look much better.

    Spent most of the afternoon pulling this front axle. Removing the dust cover and freeing the spindle from the axle were both a giant pain. I didn't find any visible holes in the old boots, but they were slinging grease. Hoping a reboot fixes the issue.

    They probably switched their powder coat at some point. Probably for the cost savings.

    No issues with mine, I’m the second owner so they’ve been around for a bit. That’s odd.

    Appreciate it. I think we have a dedicated thread for TC somewhere. I'll try and find it and ask over there or possibly sent TC a pm.

    It certainly is a bit odd though. It's on both of them, pretty much look identical on both sides.

    Not my taco, but sold my original wheels to a 1st gen owner. I have to say, I think they suit the truck pretty well.
