    Hey guys. Just bough my dream truck for 1500 about 2 months ago 2001 sr5 trd 5 speed, 215k just had one pink size hole in the back frame, started repairs and replacing anything worn. Also my only vehicle atm (getting back on my feet) so I had to drive it every day. Basically scince I bought it it's never been right started with the fear most u.joint. 60 days later if replaced half the components under the truck at least. welded, treated, resurfaced and painted the frame, re phased and realigned the driveshaft 12 times lol took off the block lift dude had that was shreading parts. Its had 3 different carrier bearings, new u joints twice, my gf hates me.because I spend all my time and money on it and I got fired yesterday for being late or missing work at least once a week in the past 60 day... (I'll get another job. Just sucks) today I'm trying to pinpoint a hop/ vibration coming from the front end and resotanting through the back end... I believe all 4 or at least the front 2 wheel bearings are kaputka, or cvs, or doff bearing.. or all of it... I love this truck man but it doesnt seem to love me back lol thanking got being here for me to read and soak up info. Hopefully she's right soon... there only so many parts.
