Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Nice!

I remember fighting with the CV axles in my '03 4Runner. I remember using a mallet to get the new ones in, but I can't remember if there was a trick to getting the old ones out.

 

I have seen guys use a flat piece of tow strap and a slide hammer...

 

Got behind it with a ball joint sep. and gave it a few hwhacks.
I don't know of any tricks other than spinning it occasionally.

ECGS is in.
Taking a break before reassembly.

 

Easy DIY hack, won't cost you anything.

First, put your truck up on your lift in your heated garage..... Then, from your snap on toolbox....



Lol. (I don't have a tool box. Just a few HF carts)

 

No lift but it's heated now and the toolbox is Craftsman.
Took 4hrs. w/ some breaks.
Test drive confirms, smooth as molasses.

That's the 2nd time I got to use my 35mm socket.

 

Left the shock in because I didn't feel like taking something else apart.
There was room to get the ecgs mostly in with just a hammer. Then used a 2×4 extension to tap it the rest of the way in.
The install/removal tool worked perfect.

 

Woah, woah, woah, let's not get crazy here!


I have no actual need for the extrusions right now, so I'm happy to let you Two split them up.

I'll certainly take them if no one else does, but I was mostly just looking for an excuse to meet up for lunch and beers.

 

I was just having some fun.

You could say,,,you get a bar or no more Old Fashions

 

Oh good point!

Either way, I'll get the bars this weekend, and I'll share them with no markup if someone really wants them.

 

Ya know… we are all waiting patiently for you to post a picture of you flexing that shiny new Taco.

 

Does that mean you'll be in the neighborhood this wknd?

 

That depends on how you define "neighborhood."

I'm thinking Waukesha, Milwaukee, or Racine county.

 

It sounded like you might be hook'n up with "Suzie" this wknd to get everybody's bars to distribute & I know where he/she lives so thought you mite be close for a beer.

 

Think we're going to be up in the MKE area but still deciding.

 

Let me know I think I can make it all the way to MKE.

 

Haha. Ya.
Let's see some dirt on that Pavement Princess!

 

Looking at this place at noon Saturday:

Not 100% confirmed yet.

 

I’m good with that.

 

I've been, and it's a good spot. Maybe I'll crash your party!
