    I figured you guys would get a kick out of how we repaired the needle bearing in my friends Tacoma after the CV ripped out and ate up the bearing on its way.

    Long story short is we where in Moab, and the part would arrive near the end of our trip, so we had to get creative!

    Great job guys! That's an awesome trail fix, I love learning and seeing these trail fixes man. Totally makes sense about just building up 'bushing'. Nice work:cool:

    Gotta support a fellow Canuck! :thumbsup:
    Funny that you should be from Cranbrook!
    After some detective work, I found out my Tacoma originally rolled out of the Alpine Toyota dealership back in 1998!
