" I love this stupid truck but it's just too far gone to make it worth it. my wife hates it so much and that makes it even more special to me." This had my wife and I in tears from laughing because it's exactly the same for us. Glad to see I'm in good company. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Yep, this seems to be it. Both of my driver's side doors have lost the rubber coating and molded-in rubber "springs" as pointed out in the above post. Wrapping some electrical tape around the striker solved the problem completely. The doors were so loose I was having a hard time believing that...

This is "closed" for me now on the driver's side Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Dang, that door latch looks like an explosion of small parts. What exactly in the door mechanism "goes bad" when the door is loosely latching? I just went off roading today and closed the rear driver's side door on an object and now that door is doing the same thing... It latches closed but only...

Hi all. Just pulled these CV axles off my runner. Up front disclaimer: they are rough. Recently purchased my truck and these were on it when I bought it. The boots have been torn for I don't know how long (at least a year which is how long I've owned the truck). Despite the completely...

Installation set up. Precious little room at the bottom of the press to attach the wrench to. Working room only allowed about an inch to two inches of movement each rotation. Took a while but I needed the extra a** the bigger press provided. I had to remove caliper to make this work. The gold...

Removal set up Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

To be fair, I needed reinforcement on the passengers side. I'll include the setup I had to use for future reference for anyone who comes across this thread. The large press CAN fit in the wheel well, but you'll have to remove the fender liner and accept tight working conditions and little room...
