Why replace the driveshaft bushing im

 

Haven't seen your rig around yet haha

Know any sites by fundy area that aren't too technical but are secluded ? Woman wants to camp but I don't wanna get stuck alone/be around people. Its a fine line hahha

 

@bfeth

When are you thinking

My wife is from fundy , she’s out for a walk right now I’ll ask her when she gets back and let ya know

Do you know what area in fundy you wanna go Alma , Albert county , Hillsboro

Ground tent or truck tent ?

 

I know 2 spots one right on crooked creek

And another where I went deer hunting 2 years ago I’m just trying to figure out where it is again I’m looking on google maps to find it again

 

Thinking after this weekend for Victoria day. Want to do cap sleeping but it or set up for it yet so bed tent for the time being. Planning a truck bed sleep for Can day weekend in Cape Breton. Thinking towards the Alma side

Fucking awesome int. Let me know what You come up with. This weekend will be my sort of "proving grounds" see what I need to improve what is good etc etc

 

Ben's truck is getting close! Some links to work out and he still has to toss the dash in. Hes off Friday to work on it!

I'll be there!

 

After I sold the other truck yesterday last night I ordered the winch mount from us offroad

Then this morning I ordered the smittybilt x20 10,000lb synthetic rope

 

its all wiggly and worn out, I can move it easlily up and down with my hand. Eventually if left un-done, I'll get some nasty drive line vibes ( I think )

 

I can't beleive how hard it is to find a 3/8" - UNF ( 24TPI ) Stainless bolt in this town.
sheesh, Fastenal can get me one, but they want $8 in "shipping"

Trying to get my CB whip re-located to the rear and need that bolt ( 1.25" in length ) to screw it all together.

back to the internets to keep looking.

 

I called smittybilt today to find out why they haven’t charged me for the winch and they haven’t processed the order yet I was thinking maybe order from them directly would be cheaper then buying it at 4wheelparts but I don’t have patience for them anymore I cancelled the order so I’m just gonna stop by 4wheelparts today and buy it from them

I’m thinking of getting just the 9500 instead of the 10000 I hope I’ll be fine with the 9500

 

Just heard my squealing a week ago. Lubed the zerks and still squeaking checked it with a friend 10 min ago. There's some play in bushing as well

Need to know what part number(s) you ordered. How much it ran you and if maybe you could help do mine haha

 

I ordered it from RockAuto.com
do a part # search for 5002334
and it wasn't too bad ( $60 ish I think + shipping )


looks like its out of stock right now.

as for help.... sure! I gotta do the whole tool rental thing for mine anyway, we could have a Drive Shaft parrrrtayyyyy!


PS: look on the Rockauto subforum, they have a 5% off discount code you can use.

 

Heck yes!! Super stoked thanks mate

 

The carrier bearing job is not bad at all. Dan, I think you would only need to rent a puller. I'm sure you have everything else.

I guess I did my CB before it was cool...

 

Went with the 9500 instead of the 10000
My bumper sends tomorrow morning

 

oh yeah also on a side note ....i bought a broken truck.....the locker doesn't work the dealership i bought it from in PEI said instead of me driving back to pei from fredericton to have it fixed just go to frederiction toyota have them look at it and get them to fix it and kia pei would pay for it....so today i went to toyota and the lady comes out and ask me are you sure they are gonna pay for it i was like yeah thats what they said she goes well your lucky because it would cost you 2000 for the part to fix it i was like sheeeit anyways she calls the dealership and they told her they'd have to talk to there sales department to see if they will pay to fix it.....i tell you one thing if they don't fix it I'm out of a truck ill fly down that highway doing 175 pei to return this truck and get my money back

if that happens real shitty thing is the bumper thats in the mail...only fits the 2005-2011 tacoma's poof there 880 gone

i have high hopes they'll pay for it , find out tomorrow if they do toyota is gonna call me ......i hope

 

that sucks!!
hopefully they make good on the deal!

 

Talked to Toyota it sounds like Kia wants to find the part cheaper then what Toyota says

They say it’s cost 2000 to fix something in the locker I don’t know what would cost that much in the locker I looked on rock auto and the hole diff set up with locker would cost 389 or something close to that

So if Kia won’t pay to have it fix I’ll probably just order the rear diff kit and fix it myself

 

Might be all the labour, it really fucks people which is why I try and do it myself

 

It could be labour but I don’t think it is because the lady said the part it needs is 2000 to order it
