    I peeled a bunch of sticky notes, wiped glitter/sparkles down and took streamer paper down off my truck :anonymous:

    Read this entire thread and try to keep on top of the chronology, updates and edits. The relevant stuff starts in post #41 to the end.

    In a nutshell, "555" is the maker of Toyota OEM LBJs, by far the best you can get. "555" also makes significantly inferior replacements for the aftermarket. This includes the premium grade of Moog, Raybestos and most likely any other "premium" grade aftermarket brand. Then there is the REALLY poor quality Chinese stuff.

    So this is my first "what have you done" post. This week I got the truck winter ready:

    Replaced front differential oil seal (much much easier than I expected)

    New upper and lower radiator hoses, new coolant.

    New drive belts (much much more of a hassle than I expected...I broke the adjusting bolt for the A/C belt. My advice to anyone thinking about changing their belts is to hit those adjusters with PB blast the day before. Even better, hit them with some old automatic transmission fluid. I picked up the tip that ATF is better than PB and it is astounding how good that stuff is. Put it all back together after basting everything with anti-seize paste.)

    New valve stem caps.

    Ready for the snow and slush.
