    Hey Tundra Heads!

    In April of this year I purchased my '02 from a friend of a friend with 268k on it, she's got just over 275k now. I'm trying to make her even more bullet proof before driving from Alaska to Argentina starting fall/winter 2018.

    Here are some of the specifics that the previous owner supplied me with:

    new water pump
    all new pullies, tensioner, and belts
    new coolant
    new radiator
    upper and lower radiator hoses
    Replaced cam belt, crankshaft tone wheel, and crankshaft sensor
    new oil timing cover seal
    new driveshaft
    new u joints
    new carrier bearings
    heavy duty leaf springs
    rear sway bar

    I am a complete noob when it comes to turning a wrench so any and all suggestions are much appreciated.

    -Justin

    All the way to Tierra then to Bueno. As of right now I have an open timeline, I'm guessing between 6 months and a year!
