LBJ failure

That's a great doc @Area51Runner I was wondering if the 2001 ym is exactly the same. If not do you have it? Thanks

 

According to IIHS statistics, you're roughly twice as likely to die driving a 2WD Taco, 42 deaths per million vs 26 deaths per million for the 4WD model. Make sure you don't replace one deathtrap with another one

 

Here ya go.

 

I sure as hell wouldn't buy these for my truck. Not with that note in the product listing.

 

Sounds like you have more to learn about these trucks.

 

Does my insurance know this? I think I need to tell them

 

TC LBJs do absolutely nothing to address the bolts.

 

Damn. They sheared?

 

Yes

 

Have 1999, perhaps? Haha

 

Nope. 95 but it's low res.

But you lost your faith. Have you found it again? That was fast.

 

If the Truck is in good shape, and you know it's history, then whats the problem. The ball joints on the 1st gens are wear items. Ball Joints on any vehicle at some point will have to be replaced. I had replace the ones on my 1969 El Camino in 1987. Just keep up the maintenance and keep on driving it. Just don't buy cheap ball joints, cough up the dough and buy Toyota parts, you'll be glad you did.

 

Even in the swamps of the Everglades?

 

I'm not taking my prerunner to the swamps unless one of you cats with a 4x4 is following me.

 

Why would it not be compatible with manual hubs?

 

My understanding is that the dust seals that came on early manual hubs were larger and touch the tall registering/locating ring on the TC LBJ. Easy to overcome, but if it doesn’t fit perfectly, people will bltch and moan.
