What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

What’re they

 

OEM Lower Ball Joints

 

You will have supercharger temperature at 250 degrees blowing on that permatex!
I would wait 24 hours to be safe, if you try to remove the upper oring it will get probably get ripped when u pull it out as the ring gets stuck in the grove.

 

Triggered

 

I wanted uniballs....bt damn those spindles are pricey. Was gonna purchase them this weekend...but I wont

 

Think of all the other things you can buy for 900$

 

You don't want lower uniballs anyways.

If you wheel, especially in mud, they'll last a season, and at that point you'll never save any money.

Just keep an eye on your LBJS and replace as needed.

 

Have you seen my truck? not sure what else to do to my truck....she goes anywhere I say

hmmm...wouldn't the same apply to the uppers? I'm coming up on replacement time. Changed them at 150k. coming on 210k

 

Thanks guys, I was wondering if there was one available. Just ordered a box of 10 for $43.50 shipped on Amazon. $4.35 per filter ain't too bad, should last me a while.

Line them rocker panels

 

I got 2.5 seasons out of my upper uniballs before they had some play and were squeaking. Maybe 25k miles

YMMV

 

hmmm! Thanks Brett. I should have replaced those fuckers when I did the UCA bushings a few weeks ago. I didn't have any squeaking until after that install. I cleaned them up really well. They immediately squeaked. Lubed them up and they are tame again.

well, I guess I will stick to OEM....those uniballs looked sexy

 

like @JKO1998 said...I could put that towards a crawl box

 

Seeeeeee, I knew there was something


Builds are never done,

Or if youre me, they never start

 

So...

Does anyone know if 4.30 gears were common in 1st gen Tacoma’s? I heard they were only available in non-TRD, prerunner, turbo V8, AWD, 5 speed, double cabs. Except they weren’t allowed in Cali because they cause cancer.

 

That's a good priced shipped. Anything under $5 shipped is a good price.

I was lucky & bought mine when there was a sale going on for the filters plus a 10% sale. I got mine for $2.70 ea not including shipping. I was already ordering a bunch of parts so the the filters only added on a few bucks for shipping to my order.

I wish there was another alternative. Going though them in less than 10k isn't fun. Guess that's what warranty is for though.

 

Damn only 10K on lowers? You must beat the shit out of your truck!
