MARYLAND TACOMAS

I love this truck.

 

Nice of you to post here. How many of the suspension parts do you have left?

 

I thought you was planning on parting out & selling it to buy a beemer?

 

I got fucking lazy and bought them instead. Still have the vinyl sitting on my bench and I believe the file is ready to go too. Patience is not one of my strong suits.

 

I still plan to part ways with it and pickup a 3rd gen 4 runner. May not be till after the first of the year though. Need the 2018 M3s to come down in price some more.

 

Did you check Autowerks yet? I went by there today and they have some hotties on the lot.

 

Maybe? My neighbor said he can weld but I'm not sure how good.

 

I understand, Alec and I were at a toyota dealership today and she asked me about it and i was aggravated that i had forgotten about it. Its not like me to forget about these kinds of things. Life has just been kicking my ass these past 6-8 months

 

Morning MD.

Fellas! I survived my first kayak fishing tournament and brought home 3rd place! It was an awesome weekend!

 

Congrats! Got a pic of the winning swimmer?

 

It was a the best stringer of 5 fish. I had 4 speckled trout and a striper in my stringer.

 

Afternoon, Neighbors

 

Thank You. That makes it so simple. I still need to order the ECGS bearing and seal. So please expect/schedule the borrowing of the ECGS puller, bearing race kit and torque wrench mid-late October.

 

Well, I prefer to not loan it to anyone in between regardless how long it takes for fear I don't get it back in time. So since you say you need it, just take your time. You just me me know when. For that matter, if you want a hand, drive up here and I will help.

Pro tip, when Randy and Tyler @EatSleepTacos @twheat40 did mine they put the bushing in the freezer so it would contract until they were ready for it. This apparently helps it to slide in with less effort. Even more important is to stuff plastic wrap or a ziplock baggie (empty) into the axle shaft hole before removing the old needle bearing. This prevents any parts from entering the clamshell in the event something breaks off.

@Devir7 Eric, Sorry if I did not mention this. I might print this info out and put it in the box with the tool.

 

Are you doing a full fluid change as well? I ended up not but added some fluid week or so after I did the change. While I didn’t think I lost much fluid, I added about 1/3 a qt. I didn’t use OEM oil though. Just something to think about.

ECGS has a promo code for TW members too. I think it’s TW, if not you should be able to find it by searching. I think it gives free shipping.
