SOS!! HELP!! SoCal member with blown rear in PDX needs assistance!!

I can help you with the torque wrench and socket but not the torch.

 

Wish I was there to lend a hand.

 

Is it a 0-40" lb bar style? He needs to be able to rear down to 8"lb

 

Its range is 0-150 in./lbs. it has a round dial but works like the beam bar.

 

That is PERFECT!!
The one I have is from a bicycle shop and 1/4" drive.........and is 1200 miles away.

 

Where do you live?

 

I just sent a PM give me a call.

 

Yeah. These are the matching F&R LSD 4.56s I picked up a while back for $800. They *used* to be a deal!

 

Okay well give you a jingle if my neighbor falls through. He may be able to help us out if be ever calls home

 

UPDATE:

2:35 a.m. Truck just rolled out of the shop. It's good to go!!!

Shane's gonna get a couple hours of sleep than head back to Cali.

I'll post some more pics when I wake.

 

Dude you ROCK! Way to go way above and beyond for your fellow human beings hats off to you and the rest of the people that stepped up and help these people out of a pickle. God Bless you all! Travel safely Shane!

 

Very cool.

 

fucking awesome!! I love TW

 

Pictures From Friday night/Early Saturday morning working on the rig.

We took the 3rds to my neighbors. He helped get the pinion nut off and set the new 3rds spacer by hand.



Here's the rig my neighbor is currently building.



This dog was about to eat Shane.



and.......... We're done!!!

 

OP is finally home

Next week I'll have another tacoma in my shop (cody) lets home his suspension swap goes smoother

 

TW is the shit. Thanks Jonnie, glad we were able to work together and get this damn truck back on the road again lol

 

Yeah dude thanks for the team work

 

ENORMOUS thanks to Jonnie for letting me use his shop, driving me all over town, providing a bed and breakfast, staying up Way Too Late to make sure everything worked out, following up with me on my way home to make sure things were doing fine, and just generally taking on this whole mess as his own. You're a saint, man!
Another HUGE thanks go out to Matt. Fucking again. He's never going to lose weight at the rate I keep at this. He dropped what he was doing to break into my garage, box up my spare third and install parts, and use his company's account to save me some money to overnight it to me. (If only FedEx hadn't dropped the ball on that! Oh well- more money saved!) All this only a year after dropping what he was doing to drive 7 hours in the middle of the night to come get my ass after breaking my truck the first time. I hope I don't make this an annual habit!
And a BIG thanks also goes out to Cody, for keeping Jonnie company while I got dicked around by my roadside assistance, but more importantly for hearing me mention "rental car" while I was thinking out loud and, noting that it was after 5:00pm on New Years Eve, called five different places and managed to not only find a place the was still open, but talked them in to staying open late just for us. Thanks to him, I was able to see my family for New Years and make it so my wife and son could leave for home ahead of me.
And of course thanks to y'all who worked things out here, provided support, and just generally had a good time watching things unfold. What a great community!
