I like those wheels. What kind are they?
Yeah, Utah is like 80% public land (federal land). I think Tennessee is about 10% public land.

Sounds about right.
What on earth did you hit that the front of your passenger slider is bent up that much into the rocker panel? There’s gotta be a good story here.

Just waiting for the battery to charge and going to try and start it up! Been 3 1/2 years since it’s been moved by its own power. Hopefully the fresh engine will give it another 25 years of service.

Sure looks good, anyway.
All,
I decided to grease the u joints on the drive shafts and got both sleeve yokes done as well (3-4 pumps only) I got the front u joint of the front DS and the rear u joint of the rear DS. The rear u joint of the front DS was at a bad angle so the zerk fitting I was unable to get a good join. The front u joint of the rear DS however, the grease just oozed out near the zerk fitting. I might have had a bad join on the zerk due to the angle (my grease gun has a straight metal tube instead of a flexible version) but is it possible that the zerk fitting is “closed”? Any ideas? Is the zerk fitting clogged possibly? Thanks.

That was the reason why I replaced the rear DS due to not able to grease the U joint. Plus the OEM DS had 265k-it was about time
I almost always remove the driveshaft to grease them. Much better results plus you can properly grease the yokes this way.
Ok, removing both drive shafts seems like an involved process. If I am going to remove both, I might as well replace all of the u joints while I am at it. I read in another thread about the sleeve yokes. Another project yay!
Decided it was time for a yearly check to make sure all of the lockers work. Yep, they all work. I must admit, I like the brown wall look.

What color is that? Is it the color from the newer tacomas?
Annually? I check my sole locker (center) monthly.Decided it was time for a yearly check to make sure all of the lockers work. Yep, they all work. I must admit, I like the brown wall look.

20 min with two box ends and you’re done. 16 bolts/nuts. Pretty easy especially if you’re on stands and can rotate the wheels.
Where did you mount the interior and exterior antenna? My interior one is velcro to the center console and I used a mount near the rear lift gate for the exterior.
