At least pretty close to an 80. I have really been looking for an 100 series to replace my 2003 sequoia that we use for family road trips. But I saw the ad for this one, went to Cave Creek and drove it, couldn't stop thinking about it for two...

I have been needing differential help since this happened. I saw the link to this sale, and checked the price on a new one: That seems pretty close to the cost of removing of having my differential rebuilt with a new ring and pinion. And...

Thanks for all the advice. I am not super confident in our ability to accurately determine if the bearings are OK. Who knows how long they have been riding with the incorrect preload. And once we take them out it would seem foolish to put...

We will need new seals if we remove the rotor and remove and repack the bearings. But not if we just tightened down the axle/bearing nuts to properly preload without removing rotor-- so it seems like you are saying we definitely should remove...

Thanks everyone for their advice. I think @hoser is right about the bearings. There is just no way the rotor should move like that (see the video). They were either not preloaded properly, not locked into place properly, or both. And I think...

My SIL checked the receipts from the previous owner. A full brake job with new bearings was done July 2022-- 14 months ago-- and less than 12k miles ago. So just slightly out of their stated warranty. And they are in Arizona so it probably...

I do. But in Arizona. We may have to see if I can bring them as carry-on on a flight to Utah

Video-- another try So I hope you can see that video. It is a link to google drive. The video shows that there is all kinds of play in the rotor--the rotor can move so much it clanks against the caliper. Seems a little nuts.

Are you saying we should buy some new pins and install them? I told my SIL to pick up some grease with the idea that they might need to be greased. Jared PS: I just noticed that the clip on the bottom pin was not properly clipped into the pads.

You mean this shiny part? I was wondering about that. I don't know what could cause that.

My daughter and SIL have a new-to-them 99 100 series-- one that I found for them down here in AZ. They were out driving around Utah (Hobble Creek Canyon to be precise) and started to hear some noises coming from the driver's side front brake...

This is incorrect. The "late 93" is the best. The 94 has the "little" starter. :)

First, I should say that I don't know anything about diesels-- but I have been wondering when someone was going to put a 3.0L Duramax into an 80 series. Straight six, crazy power, crazy gas mileage. Seems like that would be a win win win...

Ofer-- I love your 80, but I have to ask --- Do you really have room to sleep two people on that platform you have? I am afraid that after 30 years of marriage my wife would demand more "distance" than your build provides :) Jared
