    Did this Paracord wrap on my steering wheel. Can't tell if I like it yet or if this is too "tacticool"

    Deleted the Load Sensing Pressure Valve today....that was messy. Didn't have to extend the rear line , just pulled it back a bit. Didn't install a proportioning valve either. Bleeding everything was fun.....lots of air bubbles. Seems to be happier now.

    Today I snagged a deal on a Coastal rear bumper kit. Basically 30%cheaper. Ripped off the trail gear, and then dropped it off to a buddy to weld up for me while I head back to the Middle East.

    anybody with the Coastal rear figure out a way to mount the mudflaps??

    yeah i bet the crush sleeve just got too loose and you ate a bearing maybe. Why it's always worth doing solid spacers IMO when regearing/rebuilding diffs.

    Pull the pinion and lets see it! Should just come out one you take the nut off.

    I tried, but it didn't want to come off. I guess I could whack it with a hammer.

    Thanks again for the brake line kit.

    Lots of them on Ebay. I occasionally find the wrenches and screw drivers in the backs of Toyota's at the junk yard.
