    I'm tacticool & 100% on self defense when on the bike, but i've seen things. At first you're entertained, and most of the folks around em, give em space. Then another comes up & clobbers em at 20 over, and you start to realize how big the problem is...

    That was the year range of Ford pickup that had the horrible 2-star crash rating too.

    I think OP on that said he was in a coma for 2 weeks, then paralyzed for 1 month or three, and learned how to walk. Airbag made him punch himself in the face, foot smashed, random other stuff. She (accident causer) had some broken ribs, arms and legs, got a few months in jail, the remainder of a year in prison/rehab, then got 10-12yrs probation. It was rural, so local volunteers reached the scene before the paramedics.

    I wondered what HSML stood for, so I looked. "The #HyperSpatialModellingLanguage (HSML) is a standardized language designed to represent and describe spatial data in the #SpatialWeb. HSML helps efficient..."

    I used to hate hyper-flash. Then I realized it catches attention. Now I just don't care, either view has validity. Same with those flashy brake lights.

    Okay so I posted about swapping my LCA bushings, and the one concern I was left with, nobody commented on specifically. So I’ve gotta ask; anyone know anything about clocking LCA bushings to their intended orientation? Or how important it is that they are clocked correctly? Did any of you even know they are meant to be clocked in the first place? I sure as hell did not.
    I just keep telling myself they only need to last me long enough to long travel dis bitch

    I didn't know they were clocked in a special orientation... :anonymous:

    But I bet you a sixer that Dez and Shifty knew.

    It's discussed in the service manual and a few tutorials I looked at when I was debating doing it vs new arms, but I'm not too familiar with why it needs to be done. @assassin10000 can probably bring an answer. I know that the bushing will wear quick though if you torque the LCAs off the ground.

    Found this article and gave it a quick read, sounds like this might be the reason. Put them in the wrong way and the bushing gets loaded incorrectly. I'd guess this is more for rubber, not poly bushings.

    So... IIRC you can swap the wheel hub for the 4wd one when doing the wheel bearings.

    Depends on how the bushing is loaded and clocked. Many times it sees the majority of it's load either up/down, in/out or left/right. So the thick or main part of the bushing needs to face the load so it won't prematurely wear out and fail.

    Not tightening the bushing, until the suspension is under full load/at ride height, is to prevent it from being twisted inside the inner/outer sleeve at ride height and tearing or prematurely failing.

    I'm glad I got new arms with bushings because I guarantee I would have screwed them up otherwise.

    For others needing to replace theirs, wait until Black Friday. The last two years Toyota has offered big discounts.

    @FirstGenVol don't y'all forget that the non locking fuel door also has a different inside piece. I think you have to get the door as well as the surround that the filler neck passes through
