Seattle Area Maintenance and Meet

[hcck3d]

Had some interruptions but got the suspension in. The rear was more of a pain in the ass because of unbolting everything.
Have the LCAs to put on today and then alignment. Well, one LCA on and the other has a stuck bolt. I am pretty sure that the movement of the LCA has caused the nut and bolt threads to become mangled. Will just saw it off and take the bolt into Tacoma Screw if Toyota wants too much for it.
Nut and bolt ordered and will be going to pick up a hack saw now.
Update:
Had to hack the bolt in two places, but the good news - it drives perfectly reasonable now.
Bad news - saw oil on the inside of my drivers side rear wheel. Axle seal. Also found some exhaust leaks in the cat area and manifold area.

If anyone is interested in helping me out with a tundra brake upgrade for a 2002 4Runner, it'd be much appreciated. I'm in Olympia, but I'd be able to drive to wherever if somebody has the required tools, and is knowledgeable. I have all the parts on the way, I just need the tools, and the exact know-how on how to do it. It'd be a huge lifesaver if somebody could help me out with this. PM me if interested.

I can't provide any technical help but might be able to stop by and say hi.

Using BFAD's write-up, HERE, it should be a very simple task. Tools are a great investment - no time like now to pick up a good set of sockets / wrenches. =)

Good luck!

Nope. Heeked is figuring out if he is interested. I am interested in getting rid of them.

If I dont hear back from heeked that he is coming to get them,you're next

go buy a flare nut wrench, some speed bleeders, and a wrench socket set.

its incredibly easy to do brakes on most any car. barrow a jack if you dont have one.

Alright thanks A.wilson, and Brilliant. I've been reading every damn thing I can find on the tundra brake upgrade, so I think I'm confident enough to go ahead and do it. I'll probably get 'er done this weekend. I'll post an update on how it went.

I'd love to help, but I can't this weekend. Hope it goes well.

Put me next in line after Alex. I'd be down to grab them as spares.

Post if you run into an issue. Its really easy and usually where most people start on DIY stuff I think. The money you'd spend on labor can go into tools on a lot of this stuff. Post if you have an issue.

PM sent. I had your number from when I got those taillights from you but I think I lost it. And I believe Wilson was asking about them for me. Hehe thanks Alex.

[rideexileex]

[theizzardking]

dunno, it's a wheeling spot though, looked to be trails off the left and right from the road(s), saw 3~4 various jeep groups heading up and a bunch of guys on dirt bikes....plenty of stuff to wheel everywhere, but i only saw a few "trails" , i can ask darkie3495, it was his spot, he may know more about it than me.

 

[hcck3d]

I should be able to go.
