your post reminded me of homer.

 

Just got offered the Hydrologist job yesterday. Seems like a fun job, and it should just about double my salary too lol

@eon_blue

I know you hate white but, 1FZ manual

 

Thanks

 

Congratulations!!!

 

I had the same thoughts lol

 

A fear is a fear...I get it and I can respect that.

But the immature side of me wants to post ALL the pics

 

That must be a 105 series with the solid front axle, that’s sweet.

 

Thank you!

 

@Wulf

I know your Ferd is much newer but do you have experience working on an older variant like an '04?

Looking to do u joints on my FIL's truck but not sure if the puller from my OTC front end kit will fit. My tools are at home and I'm with my FIL atm.

 

Yeah I redid the front end on my 04 6.0 lol

If it's the larger C style that comes in it's own case it should fit for doing U joints. It will be too small to do ball joints unless you cut the post off first. Advance/AutoZone has them for loan too. I forgot to return mine so that's how I ended up with it, used tools for the price of new

 

This is what I've got as far as puller tools and stuff -



And a separate tie rod separator and ball joint separator tool not shown.

 

Yeah that should be fine for the axle U joint.

This guy just used a BFH which you could also get away with since it's a Cali truck

That C ball joints press is probably too small for the SD ball joints though. But again they're probably something you can use a BFH for lol

 

Did the mods delete the thread that Timmah got banned over?

 

It's located in Guam.

 

Super helpful, thanks!

His rear end is leaking (seeping barely) so he'd like to take care of it as well as replace the u joints before his big trip in a few months.

 

Wait, aren't those the OTC sets?

The same ones that Timmah! used in his videos?
