Made it home tonight with my trailer and the solar panels. The 55 will get here this weekend. I'll post up some pictures tomorrow, but will have to wait for the 55 to get here for that show. I've always felt good about coming home from a trip...
Seems like Ron’s adventure has provided a good message to us all. This country is full of great folks willing to help each other. Al the political and religious differences go out the window when someone needs a helping hand. The majority of...
Often toyota owners are accused of things like: "he's gonna drive that truck until the wheels fall off"
Many of us are working towards this end on a daily basis. Driving the wheels off of our toyotas. You have arrived. Congratulations.
I know...
Glad to see the update buddy! This is Austin the Toyota tattoo guy. I never heard from you so I was hoping someone got you taken care of! Sorry your day became what it was but I’m glad us as a community could get you taken care of. You have such...
Update from hell!
Buy a full float, the tire will never come off with a broken axle they said. Well, taking my trailer to a welding shop to convert from pintel to 2" ball hitch the 55's driver's side rear tire flew past me with the hub on fire...
Damn, now you guys got thinking. Actually, I'm done thinking, I'm moving on to drinking.
Funny you say that, the hotel every night offers BUD for the evening free cocktail. 👍
I've been walking up and down this hwy. everyday. Today walked three...
At this point of my trip I'm going to drive whatever there is left working back home and worry about new parts at home. Not to mention I broke another windshield on this trip. Right now I'm trying just to find ride to the shop. Thanks guys for...
Just so I'm clear we can "it could" it to death and for the most part you would be correct if we are talking about how should it be done..
But we are talking about how can we make it home and deal with the carnage later and in that scenario one...
Great idea, totally forgot about doing that. That covers any type problem. I can't imagine the ring and pinion being damaged as nothing locked up or makes any noise. Either way, I'm headed home tomorrow with any luck.
Thanks guys for all the...
I would lock my locker and see if it moves, if yes then I would start driving home. If no then I would pull my front third to replace the blown up rear refill with oil and drive home.
The point of a full float axel is that the axle does not do any supporting. A semi float has forces from the tire and outer axel housing that acts like a lever and puts pressure on the 3rd member. FF is just a shaft free standing with a spline on...
I'll be back in my hotel room drinking BUD! :) Not kidding........... I walked to Walmart, 3/4 mile to buy supplies and went to checkout, forgot wallet, so back to hotel. I turned around and walked back, all said 3 miles to buy beer and a salad...
If you can shift fine and still feel pressure when pushing in the clutch but not engaging, then it's probably the input shaft on the trans or clutch disc broken. The H55 is pretty strong so guessing it's more likely a broken clutch disc.
You can...
Man, I leave you guys alone for a couple days and the thread goes down the drain. :) So, my new buddy from the Carrollton Police saved my bacon today. Not only got me off the road, but set me up with a shop and a hotel. A big thumbs up! 👍 I don't...
