What have you been doing with your Toyota? (4 Viewers)

[ttFJC]

I went up to little bear today to see how it was. Don’t bother going up there, the ruts are pretty bad for the first couple miles to the point that I got tired of fighting the ruts and turned around

Ordered a bunch more stuff off rock auto today. Wheel bearings (timken, you can get them cheaper than from toyota) and a bunch of other stuff that I didn't feel going Toyota was necessary. All that is left to get are calipers (going with Napa which are oem remans), rear rotors, grease, oil and some extended brake lines. I'm super excited to have brakes that stop in a straight line. Also figured out that I need 1" bumpstop spacers up front and 1.5" in the rear. 25mm coil spacers will also be going on

How do I upload photos here?

when your making a post use the upload file button, you may need to spend 20 bucks and buy a silver tar, it gives you more options. So if you click it you can browse your pic files and select one for upload. You may only be allowed one till you get the star.

@brew8 Larry, are you the guy that we ran into up at Goose Lake last year with your son?

put the summer tires on, replaced a cv axel and front shocks on the 4 runner. found that the shocks were in pretty bad shape near catastrophic failure. post was bent and almost rusted all the way through. still fighting mud from a graves range jeep trail run last year. also found a nice rock pile to drive the x on. the snow needs to melt already. I'm ready for summer!

Did an entire rear axle refresh this weekend. Yesterday started disassembly after the meeting. Got the rear diff out and most of the stuff cleaned up. Today I rebuilt the parking brake and the hubs with new bearings and got everything reassembled. Will fill up with gear oil tomorrow and take it for a drive. It was definitely time for all this. There was 0 grease in the rear passenger hub and the rebuilt side at rubithon was leaking oil too. It's time for new axle shafts for sure. At 300k the axles are groved pretty good from the axle seals

Replaced the bushings inside the shifter on my 62. Dang, what a worthy improvement. $11 in parts/shipping and about 10 minutes in time and my shifter went from being sloppy as hell to tight as a whip.
