Oregon and Washington BS thread

LOL just remembered MetalTech has an open house on saturday. One of their planned seminars was how to change out a CV. If you talk to the guys maybe you can guinea pig or at least learn to do it yourself


I don't know much about it, but here you go. First video is a basic idea, couldn't find a really great one. The second one is much better, but only covers how to do the boot. I have a link to the repair manual, but it's on my home computer

Here's the repair manual link. I have the download if you'd rather have that:

... and you will want these two:

Front Drive Shaft (For 4WD): Removal, Disassembly, Reassembly
Front Drive Shaft (For 4WD): Installation

 

thanks the help but i dont think im up to changing it by myself. i remember jim(guy with the fj?) said that they were having that thing and that they would do it for cheap in like 20 minutes. anyone know how i could get in contact with him so i could ask?

 

ok guys, another treat for ya. TV for sale, Sony KDL52W4100

Here is a link for one selling new for $1599, so I figure with less than 200 hours of use its LNIB but without the box lol. Asking for $1500 with the tv stand or better offer. Stand is 200ish new, so it thrown in is pretty sweet

Damn, that's an amazing deal for a dealership. I wish I could score that price there

 

Hai guyz

 

hello you little whippersnapper!!!

if you guys know where prairie mtn is outside junction city, look at how much snow!!!

 

Omg that ^^ looks fun

 

Herro. whats new?

 

i just took my tape meassure outside. It started snowing about 745pm. now 9pm and just shy of 4''. and thats with having all the snow from last night melted away. Helllllzzz yes.

 

YES this morning i went out and drifted around my neighborhood with the truck. only spun the tires unintentionally once.

 

its actually not terrible in the snow. its the tires, i reallllly wanna lift and get some decent tread tires. hopefully some MTs this really got me going.

 

It was Bill.

Give them a call, 800-839-0684. They are in Newberg. I'd be there if it wasn't for the wedding I have to go to.

 

HWY 58 frakin colddd

 

Cameron, the Toyota dealership in Corvallis does not know what the hell they are talking about. My ex girlfriend had a Scion TC she insisted on getting tires mounted there and it was just a nightmare and a half (a story for another day). Plus my parents had an older Toyota Previa they took for service on a regular basis back in the early to mid 90's and they were always charged an arm and a leg. The only thing I use that dealership for is to buy oil filters and spark plugs

I would call Kendall Toyota in Eugene. They tend to be a little easier to work with and might have a cheaper labor rate. That is if you would prefer to stick with a Toyota dealership for the work. Plus they have a SWEET dealership with one of the largest inventories in this area. I always spend my time convincing the salesmen to take me on test drives while I'm having work done my vehicle.

If NOT, you should give London's Automotive a call here in Corvallis. They are a local shop that a friend of mine who builds his own kit cars trusts his more extensive repairs to. Their prices should be better and it's really hard to screw up a CV repair. (541) 753-4444 They specialize in Japanese and Domestic if I recall correctly. If you end up going with them, please let me know how the experience was. They are located on Western right next to the Maytag appliance dealership.

 

I get my truck back today!!

 

alright thanks. i will probably give them a call. i didnt know of any auto shops here in corvallis

 

Yeah, there's quite a few. I haven't experienced many of them. I do most of my own work and have never seemed to keep a car long enough to have to pay for major repairs. (Except for my 1997 F-150 that I took to the local Ford dealership. What a bunch of crooks )
