South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

It's a joke they dont make it like a stud instead of that shit that strips. Had my local shop weld a Bolt onto it so it wouldn't do that again. Thats the front diff right?

 

Damn I had no idea the leafs were the same length

 

yep. they have a VERY similar width. Let me dig into my build thread and see if i can find the pic of them.

Alright so i had to go diggging deep. im taking 2013-2014 but i got them.

1st pic is bone stock rear end with my bedrack and old RTT on top. Helllla Sagging




This is after spending 90$ on some junkyard leaf packs. Only needed 2 leaf springs per side. It's settled just a little since then, but 9 years later i still run this setup offroading and keep my present load on it at all time. In 2014, no way i dropped 500$ or whatever they cost nowadays.

 

That's awesome man. I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone else mention this around TW

 

Probs cause the dude who i wont say "invented" it.

His name is OMD (old man doug)

Do some searching and im sure he'll pop up. Not sure if he's dead now or what lol.

 

Yep, the drain plug. I fought that bitch for a couple hours yesterday and threw the whole kitchen sink at it before it finally rounded out completely.

Went to the local hardware store and found the biggest bolt extractor they had, drilled it out, cut an inch off the extractor bit and hammered it in. Put the torch to it (again) for 5 mins and cranked on it with a cheater bar and it finally gave up.

What a nightmare for such a “would-be” easy part of the job. Picked up a new drain plug from Toyota today and coated it with anti-seize and torqued it to 45 ft-lbs. A tack-welded nut is in the near future, I’m not playing that game again.

 

If im not mistaken i know on the Lexus forum, apparently their drain plug is an actual nut so they may swap over but yes, a welded nut is the way lol.

 

@SearArtist whats the part number?
Edit: never mind I found it.

 

This is why I love tacomaworld!!!!!!!!!

 

Not for the hot singles in your area?

Tasty, check the drum brake thread I made and add pictures if you see anything that needs focused on.

Dude I live downtown Greer let me know when you're around next time

 

It's the same housing so they will swap over

 

Can't believe it took me this long to find this thread, checking in from Charleston. Actually in Lake Lure NC for the weekend. Can't wait to add to the BS.

 

Oh there's a lot of BS on this thread
