Not knowing the age or condition of the B.J you are on borrowed time you don't need to be offroad to pop this B.J a lot of them are just driving on road when they fail. Go to T4R.org and you can find a ton of failures and crashes, you been warned.

Chilling.

I’ll order some tomorrow.

Good. Just in my limited driving around, I've seen evidence of this happening on two occasions. Dry pavement, one Taco of this vintage and one 4Runner.

Back up.



You’re telling me to buy Toyota?? The very BJs that are known to fail??

I was going to pick up some greaseable MOOG problem solvers….

555 , total chaos and oem . They only break when neglected otherwise they’re fine. As long as they’re tight should be fine… don’t go moog…

$79 bucks a side… not a bad price.
Before tax.

Lots of issues with them breaking . Look on the 1st gen Tacoma FB page. I’d rather not risk it .

Not not really. The ball joints seem tight and in good shape, i will replace them soon, but right now I’m just driving with them.

Please don't wait too long or get too comfortable driving around not knowing when that thing decides to pop out.

Yup! Happened to my bf just making a left turn out of his housing tract. These 3rdGens you can “drive until their wheels fall off, fix it and then keep going!”

Did you replace the BJ? Better skip a few lunches and other purchases and get that BJ change you will.be in a world of hurt if you crash it and hurt someone because it seem tight and good shape. Park it for now and save yourself any headaches.
