Yep they are definitely touchy. If they aren't leaking don't fuck with em, and be glad you got it sealed the first time
Knowing Tacoma's I would say that's probably always it.
I replace mine about the same interval I change the diff fluids (30k) so that sounds about right for them to go out. I believe the owners manual needs to add this periodic maintenace in

Dammit.

The bearings suck my truck was eating one every 10k or so.

Huh that must be why I never got mine to stop leaking
Figured out that my driver side King isn't bad after all. The noise I was hearing is the TC UCA bushings going out. The grease tunnels in them must be clogged and I pressurized them when I hit them with the grease gun 2 weeks back. Bulging now...
Today I finished bleeding the clutch master cylinder and started working on the "new" loss of power. I was able to remove the plug wires for 2 & 3 before it shut down. It is only running on 1 & 4 and "running" is generous. There is lots of gas smells so I am pretty sure it is getting fuel. The spark plug cables did arc when I put a screw driver in them and arced it off the valve cover. So I'll do a compression test tomorrow if I can get my hands on a test set.
Diff seal, again... fingers crossed

Nothing so far... fingers crossed.

Tommy want wingy..
Finally heard back from Javier on the status of the red truck. Bad oil pump and thermoelectric temp sensor. He said it runs like a champ now and starts up effortlessly.
Now I need to scrounge up 650 bucks. Glad I bought that shotgun before I got the tab on this

Put my new radiator in. Works like a charm
Word, did you make sure to refill the radiator with the pink stuff?

I need to check my LCA bushings and uppers truck makes some weird sounds when I hit a bump.
I finally finished installing new brakes on the '94 pickup. When I initially ordered pads and rotors, I didn't realize there was a difference between the one used on base and deluxe models. I ended up just upgrading the calipers to match the parts I had already bought. SO glad that pickup parts are pretty cheap.
Here's a pic with the new ball joints, ball joint spacer, and control arm brace I did a couple weeks ago:

Did this yesterday. It was much easier than I thought it would be, but only because I reversed the bolts when I put the TC UCAs in...
Rebuild driverside CV axle last night, replaced a missing hose clamp on passenger side CV boot. Installed EBC rotors and pads. It was cold last night and I had a constant breeze from the bay. Walked into my house which was 69° and started sweating

I'm gonna need a new hood for my truck pretty soon. Found rust along the whole front edge the other day and it will be cheaper to just paint the whole thing.
