I am going to miss this trip...who wants to help re-build my front and rears - it's on my 150,000 mile service...along with the Man-A-Fre Radiator, new thermostat, charcoal canister, blue-hub fan clutch, rotors, pads, and a fluid flush...she should be ready for another 150,000 miles.

Depending on timing I could slip up your way one night this week and help on that front end, Mark. I've gotta do mine at some point, so as long as you know what you're doing, I can be a step-n-fetch it for you at least and watch the whole thing.

On your axles why are you rebuilding them? Didn't you just put the ARB's in last year? When those were installed they should have pretty much rebuilt the axles since it all had to come out anyways.
Also make sure you are putting in an all metal radiator (i wouldn't pay man a fre's cost) if you are going Alum you can get it made in town cheaper at Four Seasons racing shop.

I would go OEM on the radiator....but then again, I am done with replacing good original OEM Toyota parts on the worry they may fail......even though it is OEM replacement, it is often not as high quality as what is in the truck

I was thinking about going Aluminum to help with the cooling and installing the auxiliary fan as well...just trying to keep things cool during the summer with the Supercharger...which, can be a challenge.
I was going to upgrade my axle shafts and birfields - thus, the need to rebuild the fronts and rears and while I was in there I was going to put in new wheel bearings. I figured if I did that I would be good for another 150,000 miles. I would keep both of my birfields as spares.

Gottcha....I would look at some posts by Tools R US (kevin) he is in Phx and has the fluid mix down on the fan clutch mod and he still runs OEM rad in the desert heat.
No prob with the help putting in the axles and such. I would rather wait a few months like right before SCC unless you have a a/c'd shop to use.

FYI...MAF get direct from Ron Davis and it is cheap direct or just get one built locally.

Mark, You might be able to use the shop if interested. Let me know when. I might be ale to get you a spot next to me.
AC done! Finish the M5, and will get on it.
