1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

What part of SoCal are you in?

 

Been heck of weekend.
If I ever have vehicle in shop again I’ll be marking things before, and really checking after.

Haven’t liked it because want to get ball joint on tundra, (just got bolts Friday) but Wife been driving it while waiting on what I thought was all parts I wanted to put on 4 Runner, (Radiator, hoses, and water pump) and last night heard a pop on front of tundra pulling into driveway so it’s parked until have time to change LBJ, and had to get 4 runner done.

Finished rounding up last of what i needed this morning for 4 runner.

Thought water pump, idler pulleys etc had already been replaced on 4Runner 1.5 years ago when I had it put in shop, and specified I wanted water pump replaced, and anything, everything that might need based on mileage.
Didn’t check, or even look after we got it back. Didn’t order idler pulleys based on assumption they were replaced, and it needed them bad!
Did order water pump just for good measure, glad I did because They never changed it.

Half the weekend driving rounding up enough idler pulleys, and a tensioner of decent brand.
Finally finished it up around 10pm.

 

Be sure to check tie rod ends and sway bar end links too

 

Road trip!!! Taking the FGT to OkC today for work. Haven’t had some quality windshield time with the ol girl in a while. I’m one of those sickos who likes to drive for hours. It’s chill time for me. Even better in this truck. Also running the Tundra express on this trip. Wheels incoming @bmf4069 !!

 

I hope i can teach both my boys, I've considered NOT forcing them to learn but because everything is the way that it is, I may have to force them.
