    Lots of dust and custom dents, Check Build
    Not uncommon with new uniballs. When they're that tight, they can loosen the bolt when you turn.

    Also just did mine this weekend and I was really thinking I would've found myself in a similar situation but my, presumably, leaky valve covers saved me here. Everything coated in oil and they were easy to remove. Nice to have a break from dealing with everything rusted to hell.

    I think I discovered some of my noises may be coming from my rear u joint. Felt a slight binding when rotating it by hand, but it doesnt feel awful.

    Thoughts on spicer u joints? In talking with a buddy hes saying theres no reason to pay an extra $20 for an OE toyota joint over a spicer.

    But idk, ive had quality issues in the past buying parts from the OE supplier but labeled as a toyota.

    Got a spray in Bedliner today as the floor panels on the bed were starting to rust. Pretty stoked with how it came out. Didn't want it too far over the bedrails but now I'm starting to think maybe I should have gotten it a bit lower.
