$29 Lisle 30800 CV Boot Clamp Pliers

its just boots and the clamps for said boots

 

You made sure the parts dude gave you tundra pads right? That had to really confuse him as to why you need taco axle kits yet tundra brakes.

 

Yeah I gave him Dan’s VIN.

 

$53 Toyota D/Shaft Boot Kit - 04438-04021

I see rings...I didn't know that clip/ring was the same on both setups.

Makes sense though.

 

sorry my truck came from the factory with camry brakes

 

Yeah had a whole argument with the parts counter guy. Apparently the boot kits are identical between ADD and Manual

 

the circlip that goes into the diff should be the same yes

 

LOL thanks, you saved me from asking at a later point or worse, arguing with someone about it.

Great minds think alike

 

i hear you there

fuel line local $60 camelback $20
radiator hose the same price spread!
wheel lug nuts nearly $400 from local and a bit less than $200 from Camelback
i have not yet bought those new nuts and most likely won't, just keep powder coating the ones I have every couple of years depending on wear

do you need to see the difference in these nuts???
its rather cold today still so cannot do much under the truck, spent a ton of time on it yesterday and did not seem to get much done
might go out and see what kind of flash rust has developed

 

2 boot kits+tool still come out to $148 with tax and free shipping via Amazon Prime

2 new FEQ LCE axles are $250

Choices...

 

You actually used OEM lug nuts? Hard to get a lug nut wrong.

 

That and it’s still cheaper than a rental car for the week.

 

i still have original ones
and i have not really checked around anywhere else for something similar

 

speaking of similar
i am just pondering the island abyss i find myself in this 1st gen section, it
makes me very lonely at times that all the 'cool' people in my general area have them fancy newer 3rd & 2nd gen trucks
its extremely hard to relate to most on TW 1st gen section because of the huge dissimilar experiences i am finding
it sucks.

 

Shoutout to Sean at Steven’s Creek Toyota who didn’t give up on me even though TIS said 0.

 

Check this out; that could be said for a lot of us here.

Like I was telling @Sperrunner , my town is full of 1st gen Taco's, though 95% are all prerunner, 4% are 5 lug, and 1% are 4x4. And those people that own them don't have anything more than a flat bed (for work use) or nothing else.

The forum more than makes up for that, as long as you stay in the 1st gen section.

The 3rd genners....well....they're 3rd genners. We don't talk to them.

 

You have a Mercedes

 

Not registered, no insurance. Not legal to drive.

 

Least you weren't drinking, scraped up a 2nd gen Taco, only to have it chase you down while you wreck said Mercedes - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...y-taco-and-i-chased-him.633710/#post-21770253

Not sure if you saw that.
