South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

I've got a cheap one. DONT DO SMALL BOLTS. lol

Almost sheared one off in my block cause I'm dumb. For everything else it's great.

 

Ok explain this

 

Thanks for the replies about the torque wrench everyone!

 

It broke a bunch of other stuff too if I remember right.


I did my 2wd 4runner both sides for like $600 or so. One myself and one at a shop.

 

The dealer did both of mine for me #apartment life. Hubs, bearings, seals etc. it was a lot cheaper than that. I drove on mine for 6 months roaring like crazy too before I had them replace them.

 

Oh

 

Almost turned 1000 miles in a week and couple days. Going to have the oil changed next week. I bet that's more mileage than you've put on the T4R so far

 

Critical failure when I was driving. Completely disintegrated and the pieces took out the end of the CV axle, jammed up the brake caliper, and gouged the brake rotor.

 

Oh that really sucks yeah ok so lots of parts replacement in that cost I can see it now. OUCH though that sucks!!!!

 

Ummm baby miles 2 months 2k miles. I'll click that by next fri.

 

Yeah, it’s gonna be a small Christmas this year. AND I have to do the driver side at some point. But I can do that on my own.

 

I'll be headed back up to AOAA sometime this winter to conquer that park since it sent me home packing this time. I'm not going to let it whoop me.

 

Yeah can’t go wrong with either. I’ve bought a lot of each the past few months.

Got a dewalt 20V drill/ battery kit for $150

 

There will be snow on the ground it's up in the MTNs in coal country. @Bowhuntercoop is from right down the road from where we were. We drove through his hometown to get my Uhaul ride home

 

i think you might be surprised how accurate they may be, buddy of mine was a contractor on an FAA project, everything had to be calibrated and certified torque on the power generation stuff they were installing/updating. he bought 4 of the HF torque wrenches and had them sent of to be calibrated and certified. They all came back with certs for the ranges they were designed for. And a hate letter from the certifying agency asking them to NOT let it get out that it was possible. Seems the higher end stuff sells more parts to calibrate and certify....go figure

didn’t stop me from buying a SnapOn torque wrench with certs, piece of mind is a wonderful thing

 

I just hit 3k today on the pro. Had it since August haha. The trip to pa added some miles but we take the 4Runner for everything.

 

At 70k now. Got a 40 dollar reduction on the tax bill I just paid.

 

Yes. I have had mine tested and it came in at 2ft lbs low.

 

What’s up everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve posted.
