Idaho BS thread in the PNW

I felt like we could just put it in gear and point it in a direction ..go back to camp eat lunch then go back and get it lol

 

Oh yeah! That thing would probably do like .1 mph or less at idle. It would do 4.4 inches per second at redline in 1st.

Could you imagine driving that too. When you come up to an obstacle having 4 or 5 shifters to play with. haha

 

Alright. Time to go work on the Taco!!

The e brake tricked worked and that noise is definitely in the diff. We are about to drop it to see what's up.

 

Good lucky man!!

And screw rebuilding my truck! I jus t want this

swap over my armor and bed rack and id be good to go!

I like the blackone more, S/C lol. While the silver one is nicer overall as far as looks.

 

Lol its green mac haha

I like it two but I have seen some super bad ass 4runners like the white one

 

the white one may be mine tomorrow afternoon

 

Yea I like the white style more, but with the mileage and price and S/C I would be tempted. Actually thinking about it I would probably get the white one, just because of the overall package.

And monte...shut up lol I just glanced it over quick.

 

I'm going to check the 04 out tomorrow. i hope it's a 4x4 and not a typo

 

Nice find!! GL man and I think it is a 4x4. It looks like the 4x4 switch is on the dash

 

You beat me by mere seconds man. haha

 

oh hell yea! tape deck!!

 

So this is what we found:
First when draining the fluid, there were a ridiculous amount of shavings (way more than even what are shown in that pic, they fluid was full of them) and some of them were a bit on the big side.

2nd, we found a chip in the ring gear

3rd the pattern shows that the pinion rides high on the ring gear (not sure if that is normal or not), but it rides right over top of that chip


and here is how she sits until I get new diffs, I will hopefully get them ordered tomorrow


Yes that is Brant's driveway. haha

I forgot to mention that we aren't sure of the pinion bearing condition. That chip could be causing the noise but we aren't sure. Either way, that chip was enough to convince me to get the new diffs.

 

AAAAAAAND first one to brake down is brady! Jk, sorry to see that man, that sucks lots! Hope you get it fixed quick.

 

Adam, dont get a 4th gen runner. They smell of old mans smegma

 

did not know that. Its expensive as hell but a sweet truck

 

Just for the record, that noise started before I ever even got the KM2's put on. haha. It's amazing that the diff didn't die on me on the way to or from Moab or in Moab itself.
