I'm going to go ahead and reply on here as well, being that on a public forum is where we bad mouth people and deal with our problems.
Defamation is definitely not the way to go about trying to have something made right.
I told you, on the phone, that my brother, nor I, had gotten into the front end, except for replacing the front hub.
I am not a liar, and have no reason to be.
So it's quite offensive to be called one, publicly, only hours after speaking with you on the phone.
It really is a shame that those are like that. I have no explanation as to why those bolts were loose or why the gears are chipped.
I have a receipt for the trip it took to the Toyota dealership, so they could say for sure what the problem was. Bad transmission. Whether or not they touched the front driveline, wasn't said or mentioned from them.
If I would have opened it up, don't you think it would have different fluid or a lack of, instead of that milky bad looking gear oil?
If I were actually going to attempt to hide something like that, I might have thought "gee, maybe I should tighten all these bolts, so it looks like I wasn't in here" ?
People have got to be smarter than that.
I can understand the frustration. ( I bought an 08 tundra, and 3000 miles later it blew a rod through the block... )
That's the thing about buying used stuff.
Sounds like when it was stuck and the transmission blew, those small gears were chipped. Either from the hub breaking or the the trans going out. Also, possibly the carnage was worsened ( I.e. Bolts loosening from the vibration) when we towed it to the dealer? .
Regardless, there was not a thing that hinted, to me, that anything was wrong with that gear set.

Well. I don't bad mouth peeps. Feel free to google me or check the front of your toyota trails for the last decade plus for my info. I was asking a club member. If you didn't know thats between you and kelly. Seems odd. Thats all I know. I'd be asking if it were something I purchased.
@cjmoon is that a hand held band saw ? Looks like you've got some pretty cool fab tools.
I picked up a table type mount for colins portaband. Havent used it yet but should make it a small band saw table in theory
Seems kind of strange to see this response. I don't see anyone being called a liar at all. In fact he says that the seller "seemed really honest", and that he knew it was "as is."
You've got to understand what it looks like when all of the bolts are finger tight (front driveshaft and pumpkin bolts) and the seal to the pumpkin was already broken. Someone was in there. No one called you a liar. No one knows to assume it was the Toyota dealer you took it to.
Flip it around...what would you think??
Claims of defamation are getting very defensive which never looks good in my opinion.
Well, the gas can carrier on the other swing out will be ready by SMORR, but for now, I'm really happy with the way it turned out.
Beautiful, just plain beautiful. I keep be debating a swing out. I didn't really design my bumper for a swing out. And the extra foot really takes away a from my garage work space. I don't want to have to move the cruiser to use the work bench.
It's a real 1st world problem...

I wanted to point out that this was Mike's first welding project. Way to take the bull by the horns.

Did you buy the whole patches for your wheel wells? Is so I could use the other end on the pass side. If you want to sell them.
