Hey nice meeting up with everybody. First time I've ever seen any 60s up close, and anything other than grocery getter cruisers in general.
My nine year old human encyclopedia also had a good time: "I prefer to hang out with adults, since I get their humor."

Want me to teach him a lesson about that?
Rims, not tires. Touch the rim.

Ahh. Will check that when I'm home.

Rears are fine. Front driver's rim is hot to touch. Both front hubs/axles are hot also
That is normal.
Hey Scott, check your crank pulley with the truck running. It will be the lowest of the pulleys down at the bottom. See if it has a wobble. Be careful not to touch one of the other belts/ pulleys. I noticed a vibe in the Turdle at 50-60 mph this past weekend. I verified a wobble at the crank pulley and carefully tried to limp the truck home but alas the end of the pulley sheared off the harmonic balancer and the truck came home on a roll back. The end of the harmonic balancer/ pulley is held on by rivets. They can loosen and fail.

So there is movement, but I think it's coming from the u joints. That's what I get for not buying oem.
I see movement between the metal middle part of the u joint and the black (rubber?) part

Crank pulley is good. No wobble

I thought you said you had your driveshafts rebuilt, no? Play in the u-joint is a bad thing always.

I did. They are new u joints from Cruiser Corps..
Yep, what Johnny said.
Time to replace the u-joints again then. Go oem Toyota for u-joints, nothing else compares to the longevity provided by Toyota joints (in the Toyota world that is)

So the rear driver's wheel lug nuts keep loosening (all of them). It's happened four times times now, I'm hoping to get down to @NCFJ place later this week but not sure if I can make it down the road.
Last time was on Thursday coming back from dinner, then it happened again the next time I drove. (~10 miles driven).
I see some metal shavings but I'm assuming that's the wheel studs coming apart (I have new ones).
Any thoughts? Want to know if I can drive down to Stan's or if I should call AAA.

Are you tightening them down with a torque wrench?
Post pic of threads inside lug nuts. Those stud threads don't look awful.
