Todays wrenching (2 Viewers)

I’ve never seen a disc implode like that! No data on previous owners or what happened, this is the truck that 4WDTO mag Guy was looking for help with, bought it at auction. But was curious what I was going to find when chunks of melted rubber fell and it sounded like I was playing Plinko when spinning to remove pressure plate bolts.... wall hanger for sure.

Lol I have a whole shelf off that type of decor

The frame on that truck is mint. Beyond amazing. C channels are complete.

Friends don’t let friends buy cheap parts...

Anybody have a flywheel for a 2F???

Never saw that happen to a pressure plate!!!

 

[yodafrick]

Right? The tines on the pressure plate were all bent, and the disc itself completely imploded. I could only imagine how awful it sounded. And seems like it was used that way for a while.... smh

Just turn the radio up man...

Got intimate w/ my 60 and dig deep to investigate... wet driver side floor carpet and growly gears.
So glad for cool folks on mud. Couple gallons MT fluid and a bypass hose on route. Opened my transmission fill plug and she nearly poured all over me. Piss.

Bit of an upgrade, eh?

Bit of an upgrade, eh?

Ya. Old toyota xrea shocks were leaking. All of them were rusted to hell. Had to cut all off.

 

[plfj40]

Also had Fj cruiser springs laying around. The lower seat loop was to small and doesn’t sit flat. The springs supposedly give 4 gen 4runner 3/4” lift. It’s actually 2” higher because it doesn’t sit flat in the lower seat.
Gotta pull them out before they fall out while driving.

Working on friends 05 4runner. I gotta do same bilstein shock upgrade on my 04 4runner. Just noticed the rear shock is leaking slowly. It also has the X-Reas shocks.
