I quit buying Moog stuff a while back, quality just wasn't there I try to get genuine Spicer or raybestos parts now.

This. Last Moog lower ball joints I got the hole the zirk screws into wasn't threaded.

Was right beside Toyota of Dallas this morning so I called them to see if they had any stock outer TREs in stock. They only had the passenger side but said they could have the driver side at 5am tomorrow. So I ordered them and will keep these "Moog" ones as spares I guess.

That's Mr Asshole to you
New tires today! Stayed with the stock size in the BFG KO2. So far so good and no noticeable increase in noise.

Good to hear from you! Good looking bed. I assume you got an 8.4 axle?

Thanks! Ya I got the 8.4 swapped in. I'll be picking it up tomorrow, was hoping today but the paint hasn't cured yet. Looking forward to it.

This truck is determined to sit on jack stands. I ordered new axle retention clips from Toyota and they arrived yesterday. So. This should keep the axle in place. Appears is is. Can't just pull the axle out by hand now. But during assembly I grabbed the tire as I put it on and it wobbled back and forth. Fucking unit bearing took a healthy shit. Now mind you, about a month ago before I ordered new inner and outer tre's and new boots I had the truck in the air and me a buddy did a complete inspection to determine the clunk noise. So somehow in the maybe 75 miles I have driven since I ordered parts and then put it on jack stands they have gone to shit. Good news is I texted the guy who runs bluebearings.com and he is FedExing me a compete assembly with the Koyo bearing... Today. Score. Damn front end has cost me... Let's see. 4 boots @ $50 a pop, 2 adapters @ $60 a pop, inner and outer TRE's... $160. Now a hub assembly. $279. Oh.. Almost forgot the $80 I spent on OEM boots which I didn't use. $840!!. Thing better be good for a while.

It's telling you it wants long travel. Just listen to it.

Replaced my inner and outer tie rods and did an oil change. Replaced the inners with the Moogs I ordered last week and picked up some new OEM outers this morning at Toyota of Dallas. Then I cleaned all the shit out of my cab and took the dirty bitch through the car wash. Then I got rear ended. (Not so) Luckily there is no damage to my truck but the Civic that hit me got his hood fucked up by my hitch. Oh and it happened in a car wash. Apparently if your tires are too big, sometimes they'll "jump" over the little rollers that push you through the car wash. So I was sitting there not moving and the car behind me got rolled into my truck. I honked for about 20 seconds trying to get the employees attention hoping they'd kill the wash but they didn't. Eventually the guy hit me and pushed me through the rest of the car wash. He wasn't even mad and didn't even tell the manager of the wash. Just said "It's cool man. It's no big deal" and drove off. It was a brand new fucking Civic and his hood was fucked. I would have been livid.

Ooooooooh, but if you did a SAS you could have a reason to buy a two post lift! It would compliment your garage nicely.

Wife told me if I sold my crawler I could SAS it. :). But as Randy pointed out... That's a big can of worms. I still want to sell it though, just haven't crossed that point yet.

What a headache you had, with something that is suppose to be simple.

Fucking ay!!! I couldn't agree more.

How much is a diamond front housing with an ARB in it at Tacoma width?
