Not what i would have expected

[Ruiner]

I was driving around the deer lease in our lease truck (00 tacoma) and the truck veered off the trail and i could steer at all. I figured oh great, lower ball joint, but was suprised to find this instead:

I bet that was a relief! How many miles were on the TRE?

well, probably over 140k, but its been an offroad only truck for like 4-5 years now.

Wow, that's low. Mine are most likely originals with 252,xxx miles. I probably won't replace them 'till they break.

That sounds like a good idea :wtf:

What in the absolute ****!? Was that real!? :fear:

driving sub 20 miles an hour on a dirt road was alittle jarring. I cant imagine if it would have let loose at 85mph or so on the highway.

Killed everyone that lived on that street!

My tie rod end came apart like that also. Luckily it happened while the truck was on the alignment rack at the shop. I only had 120K miles on mine.

Holy Sheeet!!! Looks real to me. That one dude that ended up under the truck had to get hurt really bad.

Doesn't look like there is any grease in that ball joint.

Looks like its gonna need an alignment and a buff out.

 

[MTD]

Such handling, so swerve, much wow

 

[Chuckles89]

I don't understand why no one likes my logic of replacing them when they break. Sure they have a lot of miles, but they are very tight and have fresh grease. They feel much better than my old LBJs did. If one separates on the road, I will slam on my brakes and pray. If one breaks on a trail, I will rig it until I can get a new one.

I hope I'm not behind you or next to you with my wife and kids. Think of your fellow man for gods sake.

Yep. Ignorant and selfish. What do you expect for 17 years old?
