Can help you with drums, I just did mine. They suck but we will do it.

power steering flush?
Brake fluid flush?
Inspect front tie rods, wheel bearings, u joints, brakes (calipers and drum pistons), rear axle and seals,

 

Kicker is with those drums, im pretty sure I have nothing left. This could end up taking a full week with the amount of shenanigans we have to get done.

305 000km in...

Whilst travelling out west the upper idle bearing quit on me in a fantastic fashion and decided to shred my belt an hour outside thunder but thankfully, still within as reception area.








Slapped the new belt and spare bearings on, only to have the tensioner bearing shred the threads inside of the tensioner assembly leaving me pretty stranded.




$1000.00 in tows later and i swapped out for https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=9118564&cc=1445515&pt=11659&jsn=2 at a friends house.





The Toyota Dealership quoted me $1700 and i did it just over $400 CAD.

There goes my beer money for the year...

 

The hood mechanism's wire decided to snap leaving my hood closed.




Pro tip: Jam a screwdriver in the right most hole as seen below



pop that bitch up and replace. Honestly, the most time was spent on releasing the hood from the latch itself. Running the wire back in the cab was easy 10 mm bolts all around.

 

Exactly 1 year between posts

 

Holy shit. Not only is that factually correct but its also funny. Did you miss me?
