    Hey all! Super stoked to finally get my first Tacoma. A 2011, TRD off road, 4x4.
    New to trucks and new to doing DIY repairs. Thank god for good friends with experience and youtube. My used truck needed new wheel hubs and upper and lower ball bearings. Just finished the last wheel hub bearing and all whats left is the upper and lower ball joints on that same side. Other side is already completely done.
    There is a laundry list of things I need and want to do with the truck I just got. Really excited to have found this forum!

    Hot items on the list of things to do is
    Finish upper and lower ball joints on passenger side.
    Troubleshoot why 4WD doesnt work.
    Need new tires.
    Sandblast and Undercoat.
    Replace break line, its still ok for now. Just degraded Integrity.

    Hello all! I replaced the upper and lower ball joints on passenger side. Much easier taking the entire knuckle off as opposed to leaving it on like I did for the driver side. Now I am going to T/S my 4WD. This truck only has 2H and 4H and the light only flashes green when I try to go into 4wd.

    Here is the knuckle I took out yesterday when replacing the ball joints.
