There’s a cam pulley holder and crank shaft holder tool combo on Amazon too if you don’t find a local deal on the Schley.

Harmonic Damper Pulley Holding Tool & Crankshaft Pulley Holder for Toyota Tacoma Nissan Camry etc.

Worked great for me

 

I’m also thinking about trading my truck for a really clean 94 Camry wagon with 270k miles and a lot of recent work done.

 

But then you have to drive a 94 Camry wagon

 

Yea they’re tanks. IMO Toyotas finest hour, along with the 80 series Cruiser.

 

Nothing screams creepy like a 45 yr old haircut, old wagon, working at a coffee shop

 

You said the 80 series was so problematic

 

I think they’re dead reliable, people just let them sit for too long cause they guzzle so much gas lol

 

Who?

Who is people?

I daily drove mine.

Tons of other people daily drive theirs.

 

People who think they have a collectors item when it’s really just a utilitarian Toyota station wagon.

 

You read too much stuff online.

 

I just know they’re magnificent vehicles.

 

Ive just finished an IPA and I feel like I’m about to find God

 

time to have 5 more

 

When you gotta make the Jeep Jamboree at 5 and pull a small horse trailer at 6

 

I bought some stickers from a guy on Mud selling them to raise money for the BRC.

 

helps with stability at speed lol

 

My tires/wheels definitely cause half of the vibrations. So I'll have to work on finding a tire shop locally that won't waste my time and money. Multiple users on this forum have run the S/T Maxx tires on our lighter trucks without issue. If my SCS F5s are bent I need a competent shop to prove that.

Still some drivetrain vibration with the known good stock wheel/tire combo. I’m going to look into my transfer case that's starting to make noises with ~330K-ish miles on it (2018 poor decisions by using a 300K mile 4Runner as a 4WD conversion donor) not that I think that would be causing issues. But I want to rule it out and it has to be done regardless. Then I'll dive back into the pinion angle calculation and shim installation suffering.

Just remove the tire from the rim and run the spin balancer. That will tell you on short order if the rim has been bent. I got a new out of the box Method 305NV that cannot be perfectly balanced. I run that one on the read because it will never be right. I should just buy another rim and let that one become the spare.

 

Can you imagine the stress the crane operators are under working to remove bridge wreckage from the Key Bridge collapse? Talk about having a camera lenses all over you while you just try to do your job.

News: Today the crane operator stopped to eat a sandwich at 11:43 AM and returned to work at 12:40 PM. It looked like he was eating a roast beef sandwich, an apple, drank some liquid from a thermos.
