    Which wheel bearings, front or rear?

    I ask because the fronts are a PITA. SGT Taco took his to Beaver Toyota in Santa Fe. Most shops he called to have them pressed in and out wouldn't touch them.

    Otherwise, be happy to have you stop in. Don't know all who will be here but can look over the truck as best we can.

    Front wheel bearings, they will already be pressed into new hub flanges so should be a pretty quick job.

    Ah, ok. Bring 'em on by.

    Wrench Day

    Sat. Feb 15th.

    Starting 10am-ish

    On the docket:
    1. AJS505 - OME lift
    2. BSUTaco - wheel bearings (maybe)
    3. TomTom - LBJs & Tie-rod Ends (possibly flywheel as well)

    Need a jack and stands (possibly a transmission jack if flywheel is done).

    Drinks will be provided. Probably call out for food at some point.

    PM for address.

    Maybe can drop off the boot kit and pick up some stands. I'm thinking it might be time to make a trip to Harbor Freight though. ;)

    I don't remember really seeing any one ever when I lived there.

    @Tacocolin, looks like fun. Makes me miss the western bar.

    Congratulations on both occasions, Josh!!! Those are some big steps in life. What did you name your Daughter?

    It looks beautiful down there Colin! You guys got a nice dump. Great shots as always, and the FJ is looking tough.
