Not sure if third gen coilovers, and shocks fit our truck or not.

If they do, this may be a good deal for someone looking to upgrade, or lift.

 

way larger setup. wont fit.. 2nd and 3rd gen tundras are built like 3500 trucks. everythings massive on them vs our 1st gens

 

It's official, bang bang closings on Wednesday. Been working on the main house since Friday, I'll try and get some pics of the main house later today. We are exhausted.

Worth my time to order an inner tie rod tool also?

 

Check the parts stores first, pretty sure they rent the tool.

Welp...

Brakes are bled. Tried to record a video, but I don't think its worth posting.

 

look for 555 inners and outers. napa usually sells them.. moogs been trash for toyotas in my experiance

 

Well, okay. They're ready ordered. I'll do a browse for the Napa units when I get time. See what the price difference is.

I'll stick this in my note pad thread.

 

What all have you replaced at this point and what's left? I've had trouble keeping track.

 

Things that have been replaced:

1. UCA - SPC
2. LCA - @empty_lord's Napa recommendation.
3. All four cam sleeves -TOY OEM
4. All four cam bolts - TOY OEM
5. All four cam plates - TOY OEM
6. Both LBJs - TOY OEM
7. All three rubber brake lines - Wheelers
8. DOT3 -AutoBone
9. Frame rust - Grease
10. Outer Tie rods - O'Reilly's cheapo. (To get back on the road until better ones come in.)
11. More DOT3.

Whats left to do?

1. More frame rust on drivers side horn
2. Oil change
3. Schedule alignment
4. Put plastic skid back on.

Sorry for bouncing around all over the place...

 

No pics because cold, but I squirted a lot of my used engine oil into the boxed section of the frame.

Need a squirt bottle with an aerosol fan tip. 10W-40 may be too thick to aerosol.

 

Looks like your Greasings are holding up nicely and becoming that matte doughy protective layer as discussed. The initial Greasing seems freaky with all the shine and debris sticking to the freshness then it wears into Silky Smoov Matte.

 

You have your work cut out for you, but it looks like it would be a great getaway.

 

Very true here. Transmission cross member is a dull sticky now. Not a shiny sticky like the drivers side frame horn is RIGHT NOW.

I can still see bare metal under the grease as discussed earlier. Grease is doing its jobs.

Hoping this stick of marine grease will hold up better in the "hard to get to" areas like under the skid.

 

Whenever I turn off traction control I think my car wants to do e brake donuts, asap.

 

i never understood why the german cars have that as the logo...

 

It makes me think "watch out! The back end might come around on you!" Even though it's fwd.

 

this is good to know cause in a few weeks I’ll have to put mine in since they keep staring at me while sitting on my ‘shelf of shit to install’

 

There is another 2/2 house on the property that we are planning on renting, that will help pay for the renovations. Bonus is it's paid for in full, no f*#! mortgage. And you are 100% correct, we have our work cut out for us. Someday, somehow it will get done,

 

Naturally. Read from inside out.

May you get it done & the insurance updated & in effect before the next storm comes for it.

 

Unfortunately we cannot insure it from what I understand, I have some investigating to do to confirm. It was built in the 50's and somehow survived a number of serious storms so I'm not concerned (yet). The way I see it, waterfront property here in Florida is unattainable for blue collar stiffs like myself so I'll take the shit shack and smile

Lisle 54500 is the one that fits.

I'm going to test drive an 06 Double Cab for one of our members that lives out of state. It was wrecked previously with airbag deployment. Is there anything I should look at specific to double cabs or the wreck other than the obvious things? I'm going to be checking the frame as thoroughly as I can. There is no record of the timing belt ever being done but I'm not sure if I'll be able to tell at the dealership. I'll look for a sticker under the hood.

 

Good on ya for helping out
Did the Tundras member get a carfax? Sometimes they specify what part of the vehicle was damaged. You could really look that area over.

 

Google the vin # if it was sold by the insurance company you will find pics online.

This is the main house
